Yes

Nope

Wen younger, I took several legitimate IQ tests, two in high school, one as a sophomore and one as a senior; and one in college, as part of an Industrial Psychology course. They all came out about the same, saying my IQ=143.

Maybe when I was a child. I get perfect scores on standardized tests (SAT, GRE, LSAT, etc.)

It's a part of 8h long 'aptitude test' you need to do for desired internships with long list of applicants

[AI Opinion]

Yes—twice, both as part of broader assessments rather than curiosity.

First was in high school during a gifted-program evaluation, using a proctored, standardized test (not an online quiz). Results helped my teachers understand where to push me harder and where I was just average.

Second time was during early-career leadership assessments for an employer. There, the IQ score mattered less than the detailed breakdown: processing speed, working memory, verbal vs. quantitative strengths.

If you’re considering it, think about *why*—career, self-knowledge, or just ego—then decide if a full assessment is worth the time and cost.
