no idea why take the test if you are not going to do your best. Waist of time for all involved.

This wont happen because of your two previous important statements. You care. You dont want to fail. Thats it nothing more.

The fear of failing far outweighs this IQ talk. You will put the effort in to making sure you can handle the work. So what maybe you have to study a little harder than the person sitting next to you but the fact that you are gonna put the work in matters more than which one of you has a higher IQ.

Yeah, but a low IQ can prevent you from being successful no matter how hard you try at something and no matter how much you fear failing. But if I wanted to do well on that IQ test and didn't intentionally get stuff wrong, I probably would have gotten a far higher score. The score I got on the test I skipped questions on wasn't objectively bad by any means, it was almost exactly average, but it was a lot worse than the score of the test I took when I was younger, and someone with an average IQ probably couldn't get a PhD, TBH.

Ahh you learned a valuable lesson though. Something that has nothing at all to do with IQ. Do you know what this lesson is ?

I didn't want to take the test at the time, but a psychologist said I should take it.

It was back in October, before I knew much about IQ.

Dude. Read the comments over. What lesson should you take away from all of this ? Especially the 2nd iq test

Maybe molecular biology or biophysics. It's definitely a lot of work, but you also need a high IQ. Here in the US you don't need a master's degree to do a PhD, just a bachelor's degree.

People have said that I don't play well with others.

Technically we can skip masters as well, but it is a good thing to have an would help prepare you for PhD studies.

Even more reason to start. Doesn't even have to be a team sport, running is a particularly nice solo sport and clears the head.

Yeah, but I worry, I almost feel like the expectations are set too low at school. I fear that when I go to college, I will be unable to handle the work, as it takes me very little effort to get the grades that I do right now. It's pretty much just showing up, TBH.

That's quite interesting. In the curriculum of my school it's work to get good marks, but as long as you are working to get where you it's fine. I believe you're a bit younger than me? You still have plenty of time to work it all out. :)
