I got two different IQ tests (both WISC) by two different psychologists

As far as advice goes: what kind of third party might I take this shit to sort out my results? Is it even worth it? As a person who values self-knowledge and understanding my own strengths and limitations, this shit is driving my crazy. I don't perform like a half-retard; I go to a really nice college and I murdered the SAT without practice. But is that not reflective of some kind of "inner" ability measured by these tests that might block opportunities for me later in life?

>I got two different IQ tests
>What's the deal with all this inconsistency?
Your IQ is probably the lower one if you're freaking out over a sample size of two. You'll need dozens to get any accurate measure.

Some days you're on the ball, some days you're not on the ball.

A few things to think about:
>There is a very strong correlation between IQ scores and SAT scores.
>Success in college is a much better indicator of ability to succeed in life than IQ scores
>my dad scored so low in IQ scores he was put in special ed in elementary school. Now he has a masters and teaches highschool.
>Hard work goes much much further than natural intelligence.

I suggest you ignore the results and just continue doing well in college.

I see what you mean, but the disparity between the two results I just listed were 40 points and 60 points, respectively. Some inconsistency is to be expected, but that's pretty extreme.

I understand your desire for validation, but don't let it take control of how you view yourself.
If you're healthy and doing the best you can to carry on, you should be okay.

just dont give a shit about iq tests
How could some sheets of paper be able to determine your actual intellectual capabilities.
all an iq score stands for is how well you made on that particular iq test. no more no less. nothing different from math tests or whatever,

it baffles me even psychologists still believe in this bullshit

Thanks. Easier said than done, though. When you're told that an optical illusion is an illusion, it doesn't make you stop seeing it as an illusion. It's hard not to think and wonder about the weirdly contradictory results, the disparity between testing and day-to-day performance, etc.. More than my desire for validation (but don't get me wrong: it's there), I want a solid understanding of who the hell I am.
