Has the cultural divide cut so deep as between NEUROTYPICALS and we AUTISTS?
Discover your specific interests and your inner autist. Glory in your IQ superior to the barely surviving NT!
There is a huuge academic genre on ASD and it value.
And entertainment. Professor T (Teerlinck, NOT NT Tempest woke BBC). French Astrid (unfortunately a bit woke with honeggars bossing).
The tests I've taken say 145+. I have done programming, among other things in my career.
One question I have with the tests I've taken is that they all presume learned knowledge that not everyone has. For example, there was an analogy that said: Achilles : heel and Pandora : ______. If someone had never heard anything about mythology, they wouldn't have a clue. They also presume a super vocabulary that I don't believe directly translates to IQ. I happened to have taken Latin in school, so I have an edge on vocabulary. I can guess the meanings to words I've never heard, if they came from Latin.
Many people confuse intelligence with being smart. Being smart is just a measure of how much information you've stored in your brain. Intelligence is the horsepower necessary to deal with it. Since I have both, I am very good at the side jobs I do now. There are many more things that I'm not good at. Knowing that is very helpful.
Does that general classification test have to do with what job you're best at, or is it an actual IQ test? I would assume that a nuclear engineer would need 110 or 120 IQ at the very least to perform well.
The ASVAB ‘66 GCT correlates very well with IQ. My GCT was 74, I claim IQ 160 but I have tested at 180.
The whole point of IQ is associating things and concepts not taught, knowing words not from learning.
That's why I thought it odd that some of the analogies required specific prior knowledge in the tests I took. It would be like asking a young person about Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey.
BTW, 74 doesn't look much like 160 or 180.
