I've often wondered how I can measure my IQ to give an accurate result. Many IQ tests are timed. Personally I struggle to read through written questions in any test or exam, no matter how long I'm given.
So, does anyone know how I can take an IQ test that gives you 60 minutes to answer so many questions, etc. Do I add on 10 minutes for every 10 questions or something like that?

I don't believe they're compatible. Just take the test and add 20 to compensate but the truth may be we're just a bit shit at tests. Luckily, we smash it where it really counts

IQ tests are bollocks en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotientSo unless you need to practice them to get a job with some company so effed up that they think they have value it's just a waste of time. So too would taking the test just so that you have a score that can be cock-waved in someone's face. Luckily, we smash it where it really counts And that's all that really matters

Thanks for those replies.
I'm not looking for something to brag about, but I was curious at how an ADHD brain's IQ could or would be measured. Because ADHD has several symptoms that can be different for each individual in severity, frequency, etc. I wondered if anyone had any experience with this.
For example, if someone went for an IQ test or some type of test to measure functions, etc if so, were they asked what type of ADHD they had, or were they given a questionnaire to fill out to determine if they needed extra time, or another type of aid to remove that persons shortfalls to make the test fair.
My question was really along those lines, rather than having a certificate that says I'm fab or I'm stupid - I have a wife and children for that.
I'm also curious to know just exactly how did we nail it where it counts??!! lol

25% extra time is normally added to tests (as a rule of thumb) But imo a more sensible approach would be to just pause the timer after each Q Or to do the test as you normally would and add on a rough estimate of the time you think you lost to distractions at the end
As far as I'm aware these tests are designed to be difficult to finish on time
