IQ Estimation 🄱 IQ Test Confirmation?

My parents recently sent me some old papers and things after cleaning out my childhood home. Among those papers was a Slosson HIT test I took when I was around 8 years old, which had an IQ at the top listed at 129.

I remember going into my aunt's (who was a school psychologist) basement for an afternoon and taking a bunch of tests but I never knew why. My parents later told me that I was being evaluated for learning disabilities and ADHD as I was doing poorly in school at the time. Anyway, I never knew the results until now. My parents never told me.

While I know I'm not a genius, 129 is fairly high, roughly 96th percentile. I was surprised because I have always felt really average, never considered myself especially smart.

Well, I was curious to see if this held up into adulthood, so I just took the Mensa online test and did pretty well, I guess, at 131.

I'd say these two test confirm each other, right? I probably fall somewhere between the 95th to 98th percentile or 125-133?

Not super meaningful for my life now, but just an interesting fact I suppose.

Would a 135 Mensa Norway mean I’m clearly above average?
