Hi, I am not so positive to iq tests and i have also critisized iq tests on the web and my comments are not popular at all, unfortunately and people get angry with me, but never mind. I have two close realtives, who have been members of mensa. So, i guess if i were younger that i am smart enough to study food and health science. Biochemistry is a very long education, at least five years in the uni. My cousin has a ph.d in biotechnology, so my interest for health and food is probably influenced by my cousin. Her fields are bacterias and viruses.

When I compose, i have to think into the horizontal and the vertical direction at the same time on the partiture

The most iq test are made by psychologists and the mathematical and logical part of the iq test is made by  psychologists. Why is the mathematical and logical part of the iq test, not made by someone with a ph.d in mathematics? Is it tradition?  How good command of mathematics does a psychologist have her or himself? I think the psychologists should be tested in mathematics themselves, because they are also responsible to be good at mathematics and logic themselves, if they construct logical tests for other people. Someone who makes an iq test and who does not have a master or a ph.d in mathematics,  should use a mathematician for guidance as well.   Mathematics and logic has to be more than proggressive matrices. The german language is not only nouns. If you pass a test in progressive matrices well, but your mathematical skill is lousy. What is the point with an iq test? If you are an A student and your iq score is 80? Does this result mean that you are stupid? Psychologists probably without any math degree are responsible to explain.

I do not know my exact iq, but my iq is high enough to compose art music and to learn italian well.

You might be highly intelligent, although you suffer from dysilexia, although you have lost your ability to communicate because of a brain injury. But this is neuroscience and i am not a neuroscientist to comment this any further.
