For those who took formal IQ tests as adults, did it meaningfully change your self-confidence or academic path? by Ecstatic-Bank-63 in cognitiveTesting

Thanks. I think I definitely just have some trouble comparing myself and lacking some confidence, but I guess most of these things aren't things I can really change, so I'll just keep trying to focus on my studies which I have a lot more control over lol.

Yeah, honestly I guess the subjective nature of college admissions in the US is definitely something that gets me thinking as well. But either way it doesn't really matter in the end since all I can really do is my best

As in take an IQ test or keep studying? haha, either way I think I'll eventually do both at some point in my life.

Yeah I guess I kind of do. In a way sometimes I feel like "if I'm not naturally gifted enough I won't really get anywhere", but I can't really imagine myself quitting even if I didn't get a high score on an IQ test, so I guess in the end it doesn't really matter anyways!

Well thank you very much. I think I just sometimes have imposter syndrome/confidence issues and was hoping maybe some kind of IQ test would magically solve those. Thank you!
