I was looking over my childhood records at my parent's house. I found an old IQ test I took in 2nd grade, age 7. It said my IQ range was in the bottom 2% and 98% of my age demographic scored higher than me.

Not long after finding the old test, I took a series of IQ tests (it was part of being assessed for autism) and I literally got the opposite scores. It said I was in the top 2% of IQ range for my demographic, and it mentioned I qualified to join Mensa.

I thought about joining Mensa, and went to their website, and then realized accepting my IQ was both saying I am brilliant as an adult and a moron at age 7. While I have learned many things since age 7, I was honestly quite bright. I'm not going insult my 7 year old self by listening to these things. I didn't listen then, and I won't listen now just because they're singing my praises now. Clearly this whole system is BS, so screw it all.

Or perhaps I just read one of the scores wrong and they both said the same thing...either way it's total BS.
