Op you may have a high iq but i dont know if this test you took is a standard type of test. From what ive read there are usually 2 sections verbal and nonverbal. Spatial is usually one of the many subcategories but imo spatial is one of the most important factors. Iq tasks i think sometimes do have memory tasks but this is also one of the many subcategories like spatial.
Another thing to consider is different tests are aimed at different levels of intelligence. For example, some tests are easy and if you get 100% it will tell you your iq is like 130 or 140. Other tests are hard and if you got 100 percent you would have like a 180 iq. If a person with a 140 iq took one of these hard iq tests they might do poorly and only get measured as a 120 iq or something. Id suggest google searching alot of iq tests and try to find one that looks legit. Some you might have to pay for.
but iq isnt everything. Richard feynman was one of the most famous physicists in history and was a professor at ptown and he reportedly only had a 120 iq. 120 iq isnt bad or anything, but most ppl who actually contribute to the physics world have substantially higher iqs like 150 and shit. But feynman was a brilliant mathematician and like placed in some national hs math competition as a youth.
so yeah, iq isnt everything, but it does mean something.
its not just hocus pocus bullshit that goes into why a person scores very high on an iq test. The tasks in a good iq test are not trivial. A good iq test question is like one of these metal lock puzzles doctors sometimes have in their waiting rooms. They are like a challenge and can be pretty rewarding to figure out the answer.
i think if you really want to find out how smart you are you should just gauge how easy it is for you to learn math and physics in junior high and high school.
but everybody learns at different speeds. I think anybody can learn things like calculus, you just gotta give your brain enough time to build the structured logic circuits in your brain. Some ppl are born with their brains pre-wired to understand math easily. Others are not. It doesnt mean youre stupid is just means you gotta give it more time.
