I know your IQ within the range of test error from your writing. In a conversation, I can do the same thing, because I have internal benchmarks for this particular form of measurement. I have tested people from the lowest to the highest levels of intelligence. Not bragging, just a fact. If you want to know your IQ, send me a private email.
Regarding your question, did I ever take an IQ test myself? Well, I could not take the WAIS, because I knew all the answers. It was not until later, that I took an IQ test, in fact I took two of them. I took them to determine which of the two was most user friendly. To put it to you directly, I did not give a flying fuck what my score was, because I was doing well in graduate school and after a certain level of intelligence the most important factor is motivation, in other words, do you have to have a fire in your belly, which I did.
So, in my case I had a high enough IQ to make it, and I was motivated, driven man, which is also critical to success.

You know that there's a theory that intelligent people want to test their IQ to bolster their inadequacies in *other areas.* And there's another theory that says that others won't test their intelligence so that their might-be-falsly bolstered *other areas* won't deflate by what they might find out.
