'Above average'
In a torn strip of paper were these two words that told me that my intelligence quotient was, probably, better than a lot of people. That was back in high school, more than a decade ago. It didn't even tell me the number representative of my IQ.
Back then, when I still lacked confidence and self-identity, I was obsessed with being intelligent, and having the documentation to back it. Those thoughts eventually dissipated from my mind as heavier responsibilities from university, and later on, medical school, hounded me and forbade me from peregrinations of thought.
After all this time, however, I remained curious as to the exact number of my IQ: when I stumbled upon this book at a local bookstore, I thus immediately purchased it.
Although my brain stopped growing when I was about 16 or 17, I never lost the compulsion to accumulate knowledge in order to keep my mind sprightly. It's great that Munzert corroborated my compulsion:
I'm almost thirty, and I never learned to let go of reading, because I was always worried I was going to get dumber by the year with medical school.
After taking the exam, I'm happy that my brain has adapted with the influx of information I had been steadily feeding it.
My IQ is 134. It's definitely not bad.

Adults who engage in less specialized activities or who continue education and general mental stimulation over a longer period of time, without limiting themselves in terms of interests will, as adults, achieve I.Q. scores within a reasonable range of those which they achieved as children. (p.41)

The bulk of this little book consists of a 60-question IQ test which you are supposed to take 45 minutes to complete. Following the test is a table mapping your score to a projected IQ. The rest of the book consists of a discussion of the tests' questions and answers, as well as a discussion on the measurement of intelligence. Towards the end of the book is an interesting questionnaire designed to measure giftedness in children.

A short read for those curious about their IQ number. Although not a scientific tool, this book provides insight as to what your IQ number is and what that means about you. Of course if you score poorly after taking this test, I'm sure you'll think this book is a total joke. But it's worth checking out, even if just to boost your self-esteem for the moment.
