also i'd like to clarify

my verbal iq was 88th percentile at 13, and still is 88th percentile, but my perceptual reasoning was 98th percentile at 13, and now it's 63rd percentile. wtf happened

You're not going to answer every question the same. You might be tired one day, or guess an answer and get it right one time and wrong another. If you want a truly accurate measurement of your IQ, take 100 different tests and work out the median result.

IQ tests literally don't matter at all

Exercise your brain more.

I'm never going to take another IQ test because they are boring as shit

i just feel really dumb compared to the average person i meet on the net who has an iq of 130+ all the time, like they have intelligence that I can't comprehend or something

what type of person actually defines their sense of self-worth by their iq

An insecure one.

because my processing speed is 20th percentile and my functioning/attention/focus in daily life is pretty shitty but i always thought that was okay because i was smart right, but it turns out I'm not and Id just be better off if my brain wasn't fucked up

When you measure iq you have a certain confiidence intervall.

It's atleast +-10 for these tests.

If you were actually smart you would understand that there is no such thing as 100% accurate IQ tests. They should be seen more as a measure if you are normal (100), above average, below average or retarded.

It doesn't matter if you have an IQ of 24 or 200 - it's what you do that counts for more. Stop worrying about how dumb you are, because that's the dumbest thing you can do. If you want to prove how smart you are, go make someone's life better, or invent something useful, or make yourself some money. Intelligence is not wisdom, and that is far more valuable in life.

I don't see why people pay so much attention to IQ tests. Anybody who's ever done one knows they are nothing more than a test of some rudimentary logical thinking and some language/math puzzles under time constraint. And that's all they are an indicator of: the capability to do logic puzzles under a time constraint. oh boy, I'm totes gonna define my being around that, that's rational.
Rationality is a good keyword, btw, the highest IQ will not help you a single bit if you're an irrationally acting human being (whatever that might mean for you), which is not a contradictory notion.

IQ tests that early in childhood are meaningless. They have to put you against your peers of the same age to make comparisons, but it doesn't end up showing actual intelligence, it just shows how quickly you are developing relative to your peers. You can score really high as a kid but have an average score as an adult or vice versa.

OP: while I have an okay vocabulary, I, too, am below average IQ compared to your average internet lurker.

Feels terrible having my mind absolutely rekt all the time just by reading something some anon says on 4chan

I very well could have an IQ less than 100 if it makes you feel any better

Yes, sleep deprivation, depression, stress, empty stomach, lack of exercise, too much sugar, lack of vitamin D and other nutrients etc. etc. could all do you in
