text: is iq really that important? i mean i just had an online free iq test on the site www.queendom.com, and i got a fucking 116 score, the explanation says that my performance on the test was well above the population average, however to me it seems to be really low. but i've always have almost straight as at school, top of most of my classes, etcetera.  so does iq really defines something? if it does tell me what could i do for increasing my logical thinking, my intelligence or something. thanksss stop and think about what iq means literally. it's got next to nothing to do with what you know, but rather, your ability to learn. someone with a less than 100 (average) iq can still learn as much as someone with a higher iq, they will just struggle more doing so. 116 is nothing to be ashamed of.
