Yeah a lot of online ones were and still are BS, my parents put me through an actual, go to a place, sit and do a test for multiple hours kind of thing.
I am not sure that they actually needed to, but the explanation they gave me was that it was needed to get into the ‘gifted’ program in Elementary School…
Always stood out as weird to me, most of the other kids in it never did a whole ass IQ test, they just had really good grades and their parents asked the school nicely… … ???
EDIT: Also uh, IQs are supposed to be noralized at 100… so… by standard deviations…
If I really am 135, then I’m in roughly the top 2% of the population.
If your friend is really above 145… they’d be in roughly the top tenth of a percent of all humans.
