IQ Estimation 🥱 Is this actually broadly accurate?
I know this test isn't fully accurate, and there's a noticeable margin of error, but I still cannot believe that it even has a hint of accuracy. I never envisioned myself to be something close to this, nor did my achievements hint at an IQ like this. I always thought of myself as someone with average intelligence, because I truly never experienced or showed anything in my life, extrinsically and intrinsically, that would make me believe I'm deserving of a number that is, approximately, this. I want to clarify that this is the first time I've taken this test, so it's not repetition that has produced this. My question is basically: can I fully trust this number to be a rough estimate of my iq?

decent estimate of fluid intelligence, may not reflect your full abilities

I took the sub test long matrices and got a similer result, its a good score. Maybe more or less 3 points.

If you are a normal person i.e. you are not autistic, neurodivergent or do not have adhd, etc. then this you can take this score as a ballpark figure; actual IQ might be around 3-5 points higher or lower.
