If that's an issue that someone has or that they don't believe then I can just take another IQ test and we can see how high or low that I score
But for now, lets figure out this money mess
IQ means nothing in this thread. But the highest asvab score is 99, cant go higher. What I find odd is that you say "Do I need to post my asvab score"? But you dont, which is ok... But you then list your GT score AND your IQ test score. Weird!
What is also odd is that you say your GT score was 137 "an no I wasn't trying". Why say that? Why not try if you are taking the test? Were you forced to take the test at some point?
Then you say "My IQ tested at 15 was 131, maybe higher". Why maybe higher? A person with a 131 IQ would be able to remember their IQ, right?
I am just trying to show you that even when you try to state smart facts, you still seem a bit off. Just make 1 detailed post with sentences and paragraphs and facts. Not 1 liners that all add up to a mess. I am trying to help here and show you what you need to do for us to understand a case that you are trying to make.
Reference for the test:
Standard Scores are scores that have a fixed mean and standard deviation in the population of examinees. A Standard Score indicates how many units of the standard deviation a particular score is above or below the mean. In the case of the ASVAB subtests, the mean is set to 50 and the standard deviation is set to 10. Thus, a Standard Score of 40 indicates that the examinee scored 1 standard deviation below the mean. A Standard Score of 70 indicates that the examinee scored 2 standard deviations above the mean. To learn more about how standard scores are derived and used, click here.
Examinees also receive a score on what is called the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). AFQT scores are computed using the Standard Scores from four ASVAB subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), and Word Knowledge (WK). AFQT scores are reported as percentiles between 1-99. An AFQT percentile score indicates the percentage of examinees in a reference group that scored at or below that particular score. For current AFQT scores, the reference group is a sample of 18 to 23 year old youth who took the ASVAB as part of a national norming study conducted in 1997. Thus, an AFQT score of 90 indicates that the examinee scored as well as or better than 90% of the nationally-representative sample of 18 to 23 year old youth. An AFQT score of 50 indicates that the examinee scored as well as or better than 50% of the nationally-representative sample.
AFQT scores are divided into categories, as shown in the table below.
