Overthiking this?

[Anonymous]

I did the mensa Norway IQ and got 88 then took it again and got 90. I did a few others and did awful lol

Am I intellectually disabled? am I overthinking this? I'm 24 with ADD. I over worry and been excessively worrying I am. Am I okay? don't you think they would've caught it by now if I was?

my therapist said I communicate like someone who has an average IQ.

I missed a lot of school so maybe that's it? I've grown a lot in these past few years my friend said that. I'm more talkative now. Wouldn't the doctor and teachers found something by now if I had something seriously wrong? am I overthinking this?

IQ tests are like lie detector tests: no value... unless someone wants (or needs) the results to be important.

Over 40 years ago, and long before you were born, I applied for entrance to the US Naval Academy- AKA "Annapolis." They wanted my SAT score and my grades going back to the 9th grade. No IQ test results were requested. Why? because those numbers are meaningless.

100 is average 85 to 90 is on the lower side of average but still functional.

You really shouldn't worry.

Thank you. I was in special education classes in school. I fell behind due to lack of being in school.

Don't you think they would've found something by now if I did?

[ArtemisSilver]

You shouldn't dwell on it. If it were a major problem they'd probably have mentioned it. Just do a simple job well and don't worry about it.

I work in a nursing home and hospital and I catch on quite fast. So maybe I'm okay lol

[Asker]

I did pass my CNA test so I'm okay? Lol

[ArtemisSilver]

Well there you go. Nothing to worry about.

IQ tests your knowledge of standard schooling. They don't test your ability to process information.

[Asker]

I mean it's still on average intelligence but I don't know. DON'T you think they would've found something by now if there was something wrong?

Probably

I was in special education so they kept a close eye on me and never said anything to my mom. So maybe I'm okay? Lol I was also in and out of the doctor and tested good on those milestone tests they do. And I walked, talked and did everything on time.

Do you know why you were in special ed?

[Asker]

I missed a lot of school and fell behind and was struggling in math and science. According to what my mom said.

[Opinion Owner]

Well if you fell behind because of missing school; that is probably why you tested lower.

[Asker]

I did miss a lot and my mom took me out in 4th grade to homeschool me and it didn't work so she put me back in. So that could've been why I fell behind also. Plus on top of missing school.
