Dear Dagery,
Thank you for your interest in the test at IQTest.com.
Your general IQ score is: 134
Though I've gotten higher on other tests before. I blame that on the fact that I had to halfheartedly take a call while answering the last few questions.
But as far as the concept of IQ goes, it's a mixed bag. Some people are capable of getting insanely high scores and then never using their potential intelligence at all, or at least in any practical way, while others score fairly low (100-115) and manage to become high-ranking members of society. The concept of intelligence is shaky as well, seeing as how it can increase or decrease over time based on various (and often unnoticeable) factors, with environment almost always being something to take into account. Personal temperament is also a huge confounding variable, since most people learn (and apply that hopefully-acquired knowledge) much more efficiently in happier, relaxed moods.
IQ is, in a practical sense, merely an indicator. One isn't guaranteed, per se, to become the next Bill Gates if he/she scores a 155 on any given IQ test, but said score can still serve as a catalyst for a child's growth and development if calculated early enough. Of course, most (typically American) parents of geniuses tend to ignore, or at least neglect to foster, their child's creativity and uniqueness, resulting in yet another "sleeper cell" out-of-the-box thinker that will likely never wake up from a slumber of intellectual and societal conformity.
Gosh, I'm so poetic today.
