Yesterday, I helped the husband out with a school related assignment.  Since he is going to grow up and become a big time psychologist, one of the things he is going to be doing is administering various tests to determine someone’s IQ, if they have AHDH, career possibilities, etc., etc.  He has to practice giving the WAIS-III, which is the  intelligence test .  I was kind of nervous, because the last thing I want to do is have my husband know EXACTLY my IQ, especially if it turns out to be lower.  Yes, I know I am smart on some level, but it has been over 20 years since my last IQ score, which is scored a 115, so I hoped that I had become smarter and the score would prove it.  The test took 3 long hours, and I had to do a bunch of different things like putting together blocks, remembering series of numbers backwards and forwards, recalling random vocab. and answering math problems.  Not really something that I wanted to do on a free Sunday afternoon, but since he needed the practice, and one day could charge up to 1000 for one of those puppies, I allowed it.  I wasn’t the most pleasant test subject (“Is it over yet?”) but it helped him out a great deal.  There were some parts that I definitely flat out guessed on (math) and others that I had absolutely no idea what the answer was (what temperature does water boil?  Not knowledge I know off the top of my head).  I felt like a participant on that smart 5th grade show, except I didn’t feel like I knew anything!  After scoring the test, he asked if I wanted to know my score.  I’m not sure if he was technically allowed to tell me, and it is just a number and could be off given the error of variance and what not, but I kind of wanted to know.  My score, believe it or not, is a 136!  I am a genius apparently!!!!!  Not, that’s not that accurate, but if you look at the standard of the IQ Score, I am a lot smarter than I think!  So, if I’m that smart, how come I had to take remedial math in college?  One’s smartness definitely has different levels!
