I was under supervised IQ test and I have IQ of 128. Can I be good at science?

probably average. you'll never innovate though.
I'm afraid there is absolutely no hope for you. The best chance you have is to work at McDonald's flipping burgers for your entire miserable and insignificant life.

>implying IQ is a good measure of how well you would do at any subject
Given you're not classified retarded you probably could. 128 is alright.
>>8710263
You could make a decent engineer or accountant. Maybe a lab tech.
>>8710263
Dang that is better than Feynman. Work hard and you'll surely surpass him!
>>8710263
yes, now gtfo of here
Work smart instead of hard and you'll outperform most academics, all a high IQ does nine times out of ten is make you an insufferable colleague.

no dude, the IQ test is a trick test- if you take it you're an idiot and will never achieve anything in life.
There's two camps of people, those who realise a pseudoscientific test is inadequate to measure the totality of the complex and ill-defined concept of human intelligence, and was originally just intended to weed out retards without obvious physical deformities.
And those like you who took the test. 128 is low for this board, where most people are in gifted and advanced programs with 150 cutoff for entry. They take the test for two reasons (easy scholarship to a good school) and to troll people like you who take it hoping to score high.
Genius is identifiable by a very early age, because kids will display an advanced ability to draw, read, write, do math, play an instrument, etc. You know if you have it, and you know if you don't. It's like having a big dick or a small dick, you don't need to measure it... you just know.

>I am too afraid to take the test
>I will instead keep telling myself I am not a brainlet
You're a fucking brainlet, anon. Unless you got into a top university by 16, you're not gifted.
why is so much of science putting people down and discouraging them from science. all people here want to do is innovate, discover and create.
IQ is not a static metric.
It is not some innate characteristic you have.
