How to Know Your I.Q. Level without Taking the Test & Brainy Stories by Billy J. Burton - HTML preview

1.I Hope You Were Able to Recognize Yourself in One of These

Groups.

Once you've identified which range you belong to, certain questions regarding how being part of this group impacts your life may ensue.

Some people will tell you that “I.Q.” is overrated, and you shouldn’t worry about it. In a way,

they are right because there’s nothing like arduous work and dedication to reach one’s goals.

Furthermore, “I.Q.” resembles money in the way that it doesn’t bring happiness but works as a tool to help you reach your objectives.

The higher your I.Q. level, very often the higher your intentions and your goals are. Just like

when you have millions in the bank you think about buying a mansion not an efficiency apartment. When your intelligence is extremely high, you frequently feel the urge to have a

substantial impact on the world.

What knowing your I.Q. level brings, however is self-knowledge. The more you know yourself the better equipped you will be to reach those goals by being able to circumvent some hurdles.

So, here is an overview of what the future may hold for you:

The most privileged range, in my opinion, is the superior range (I.Q.: 115-129). Here, intelligence is higher than average while the functioning mode is still regular, neurotypical (as

opposed to neuro-atypical338). If you are in that range, you are likely to lead a fulfilled normal

life, full of professional successes, surrounded by loved ones who understand you and value your input. Lucky you!

If you don’t belong to that range do not despair, life can still be rewarding and joyful.

If your I.Q. level falls in the inferior range (I.Q.: 70-84), chances are your goals weren’t exceedingly high in the first place123 and you won’t mind being unable to reach for the stars. Do

not fall for gains that seem to come your way by chance or too easily for they are probably false hope. Ask for help whenever you need it and cultivate kindness. Many people in that range are

naturally protected by their family members, so chances are you will never feel alone, hopefully.

If you're a member of the normal range (I.Q.: 85-114), whether it’s the lower or the upper part, then you can undoubtedly attain your goals by dedication, hard work, and patience. Undeniably,

some physicians, teachers, engineers are in that upper normal range89-90. Anyway, you will

always find your place in the world because it is made for you considering that you amount to

68% of the entire population. You will likely find a spouse easily, have children, have friends, hold a regular job, and lead a nice regular life that will suit you.

If you found out you were likely moderately gifted (I.Q.: 130-144), life will be full of

surprisingly easy successes and, at the same time, unexplainable failures. You will be more emotional and intense179 than the average person, thus, reducing your ability to fit in with the

regular crowd.

At the same time, you will be regarded as very smart in some areas 178, but stubborn,

intellectually shallow and immature179 in others. You will either view yourself as very smart or

very dumb179 and you won’t understand why you feel different from everybody else.

You will readily be tempted to give into laziness179-204 189 and think you’re always right. You will

be drawn to trust appearances in the realm of smartness and believe that “intellectuals” are

always right179 especially if they all seem to think alike.

Remember that this is untrue!

You will also consider that smart people are always articulate180 373 and appear logical.

Consequently, you will believe that those in the highly gifted range and above are not as smart as

you are.

Of course, this is untrue as well!

However, you are likely to be artistic179 or moved by many forms of art, enough to make it the

center of your life.

If you just found out you were likely highly, exceptionally, or profoundly gifted (I.Q.: above

145), it might come as a surprise. Chances are, you realized you were different but never really

knew why or how. Maybe you even thought you were not very bright because you naturally do not think in a step-by-step fashion and even bypass logical reasoning (for EGs and PGs) which is

what most regard as “actual” intelligence373.

Life will not be easy on you in the relationship area, almost no one will really understand you 81. As a compensation, you can make a difference as an artist, a scientist, a philosopher or whatever

strikes your fancy. You will think up entire new theories187 that might end up being false, but you

will likely rearrange them and update189 your outlook to precisely understand your universe.

Don’t forget to listen to people from lower ranges as they sometimes hold the key to helping you in your weakest fields but never let them push you over or put you down.

If you want more precision as to your I.Q. score and make sure you truly “diagnosed” yourself

right, read further to the end of this book.

I have concocted two psychological evaluations, you can take, to narrow that range down to the

equivalent of a single I.Q. figure:

The Short Test is accurate within about 10 points (+-5) and the Long Test (over 150 questions),

is precise within about 6 points (+-3).
