Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hmm I have no idea. I haven't had an IQ test since high school, but I was above average then. I don't imagine it would change too drastically in the last 8-10 years. I'm 26 now. I know I was above average, but couldn't tell you what my number was. I'm sure I have it somewhere, but not easily accessible. --------------------------------------------------------- ♥ " Hope is more than a word; it's a state of being.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 My daughter has not officially had an IQ test, but is slated for one in the near future. However, she scores in the 99th percentile nationally on all standardized testing and has been praised by her school's TAG teacher who has taken a special interest in her even though they don't do TAG at her grade level. She is an extremely bright child. I would be curious to hear from more people about their intellectual ability.  Hmm I have no idea.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Interesting concept. I haven't been tested in years, but was always at the top of my class, scoring high grades even when I didn't study at all.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have a higher than average " non-verbal " IQ, and a lower than average " verbal " IQ; whatever the hell that means. I don't think IQ has any difference with misophonia in general; though it may just depend on where your sensitivity stems from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I'm a 99%, I don't like to say what my IQ is really but its up there. I'm also an introvert and a visual artist. ------------------------------ >My daughter has not officially had an IQ test, but is slated for one in the >near future.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I have been interested for many years in clinical and ethnic groups with normal non-verbal IQ but with reduced verbal IQ. This pattern is seen in congenital deafness, dyslexia, autism, etc, due I think to a common cause, reduced or distorted auditory input during a critical period in infancy when the structure of language is stamped into the brain. I do not think this pattern is ever due to primary damage to the brain, and have stated this dogmatically in Brain in 2009 (see link below to my list of publications). As far as I know, no one has yet challenged this or produced a brain-damage group with normal Wechsler PIQ and subnormal V IQ. http://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=yEsgjrAAAAAJ & hl=en & pagesize=100 ********************************************************************** > > I have a higher than average " non-verbal " IQ, and a lower than average " verbal " IQ; whatever the hell that means. > > I don't think IQ has any difference with misophonia in general; though it may just depend on where your sensitivity stems from. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 In response to discussions regarding IQ: My son hit the ceiling on several of the verbal subtests and came close on the others which resulted in scores in this area approximating 160. I was told that this could be an underestimate due to hitting the ceilings on those subtests. His scores on performance subtests were scattered from above average to average with a few in the below average range Essentially, there was over a 20 point discrepancy between the two with written expression and processing speed the lowest. Essentially, he is the opposite of what you have been finding. I find this all very interesting. My husband also suffers from misophonia. While his IQ has never been assessed, he is highly intelligent. I encourage you to explore these correlations further. Thanks!
