      I don’t know, I’ve never had it tested. I did a postgraduate degree in learning and I really don’t believe intelligence can be measured through an IQ test anyway. Intelligence is not a black and white concept. Doing well at school, or doing well on an IQ test are very specific, closed-minded ways of measuring intelligence. Certainly people who do well are intelligent and it’s good to do well as it sets you off on a good foot, but those who might not do so well are not necessarily less intelligent. The greatest discoveries are done by those who are creative and can think in an abstract way beyond what is socially measured. That isn’t something an IQ test, or GCSEs can tell you about someone. 🙂
