    IQ tests aren’t as reliable as people believe. The school told my parents that I was ‘gifted’ based on my third grade IQ test results, so they moved me up a year.

    Any informal tests I’ve taken since then have placed me just above average. I probably just got bored and guessed some answers correctly. I was a third-grader after all. Lol

      I tested multiple times for various reasons from high school through college, and my score kept going up.
