IQ doesn't change... And I'd be interested to know what test it was.

Wish i knew the name of the test. I think i was around 12 yrs old and my mother took me to a learning center. It took about 3 hours.

It does change since your IQ is dependent on your age. If you don't become more intelligent as time passes (hehe drugs), your IQ (mental age, essentially a ratio) goes down.

Dumb enough that i'm probably gonna fail a basic trig test tomorrow, but smart enough that I've aced just about every biology test I've ever taken. Math sucks.

Take psych 101 and learn about the different exams. IQ is your mental age over your actual age.

I have taken several psych classes and behavioral econ/finance classes. IQ does NOT change. I know that it's a ratio, but you don't get dumber with age. Do a little bit of research before you post. It may fluctuate by a few points, but not enough to change percentiles or st. deviations.

1) Yeah, totally. Many unproductive/harmful years of drug use and I'll grow proportionally intelligent to my actual age.
A few points = HUGE percentile change. http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/IQtable.aspx

2) Yeah, dude. A huge fluctuation in my IQ can change st. deviations. LOLWUT. Have you even taken stats?

3) In your case: if you were ever smart in your life, your IQ has certainly changed.

I'd expect years of drinking to have a much greater negative impact on intelligence than most "drugs", not saying either is good, just sayin

What exactly constitutes intelligence is still something not universally agreed upon or how much importance to place in g and s factors.

You can access some online(not by googling them but through a university catalogue) which go for about 90 minutes.

The average score for these is around 45-55%, and a score above 90% is absolutely phenomenal.

so if you get brain damage? if you get alzheimer's your IQ is the same? that's a joke. IQ changes. but im going to bed

Most people say I'm the smartest person they have ever met but I'm really unmotivated and drink too much so ya..

It's not so much that your IQ changes with age it is the fact that IQ is biased at young ages because very few 10 year olds will take a 3 hour IQ test seriously. Your IQ doesn't actually change but the test becomes much more legitimate when people actually care.

Theoretically, but a test that measures cognitive ability can't be perfect.

There's not much deviance in actual intelligence with age, but a lot can be shown in the test score due to many factors obviously (motivation, stress/anxiety, new medications, different facets of socialization, etc.)

Smarter then i'd like to be.
