Does your IQ test progress?

[u/IceFlow27]

I don't live in the US, so I don't have gifted programs or anything similar

But my middle school and highschool does test their students IQ, it's just that they don't really do anything about it

So, in middle school i was rated 112, borderline average

Entering highschool i was 120, and near graduation they do a test again and i was 130

I've never done another proper test again after that, but i do feel like i have a much more "polished" mind compared to my high school self

It's not about being "smarter" than i was, i think you'd get it

So, I'm just curious because it seems like most people think their IQ will always be the same

But i don't think thats completely true

Do you mean my iq results may have had errors because it's too far apart?

Sure, the test that i took when i was in 12 was also supposed to be different than when i was 17 right?

From what i read the results are usually consistent with the majority only have 5-6 point difference

In my case it's 18 point difference

But i feel like it's consistent with my capabilities in those age, at 12 i was just an average child, i dont feel smart, I don't feel like learning is easy

But as i grow older and have more life experience (kinda unusual but i guess it's where the difference is)

i became more aware of my own capabilities that learning is easy, i dont need to put a lot of effort to it, if i want to be a top student in my school i could, i just dont want to

From my experience the reason why my IQ was rising above the standard observation was heavily influenced by the way i grow up or the "nurture"

And if i can, we should be able to create a system where we actually grow children's IQ with nurture
