When they test kids for IQ usually they bump up the score. IQ is a curve most 6-9 year olds are like 70 IQ so that would be the actual result but when they curve it the average is still 100. IQ always has to be average of 100 usually. So when you read about a 9 year old who tested 170 keep in mind they also add points because they predict it would be higher into adulthood. When you get to 16 the score you get is the score they use because your IQ will likely not increase dramatically from this point although with young kids it can vary a lot in just a few years so they often try to take age into account.how would you say life is at an iq at 145 or throughout your childhood
I have a bad memory of my childhood for a lot of it. I remember being more curious then other people and I would always ask people why things were a certain way. My parents were annoyed by this because every minute I would be asking them a question about something. That's the biggest trait I was curious about things all the time. I still am although less so... When I was super little I disliked reading but at around 8-9 I started reading Percy Jackson which got me addicted to Greek mythology and I would read about Rome/Greece constantly. Still have yet to surpass my love of reading at 10 my reading level was very high and I could actually enjoy books.
I literally haven't read a book in probably 5 years now. And if I do its more skimming then reading. I just use spark notes or skip through it and summarize it in my head haven't actually finished a book for pure enjoyment. Its possible the 145 score was just a fluke often times kids IQ scores are much different into adulthood because they add a lot of points to try to estimate where you will be at 16+. Same thing when doctors estimate your height they can be seriously off if you grew a lot. A 13 year old that grows 5 inches in a year could be estimated to be 6'4 by 18 but he could also just stop growing and be 5'8 forever. Same thing is true with IQ they are assuming it will increase and they try to find the equivalent score for when you are older
