Is this a meme yet or is there supposed to be a joke other than me
No but for real I have this paralysis fear of iq tests because I suspect I am a total moron so I do sometimes these public ones so I can have an excuse in case it goes wrong and it never showed me something bad and theoretically I am not stupid but I feel like I am
Cognitive ability tests aren't that straightforward and no online random free one is going to actually be representative of a true one. Even traditional "IQ" tests are not just a number you get. Most people with ADHD have what we call "spikey" profiles on most tests of individual differences. This is partially because we just have different strengths and weaknesses from neurotypicals that comes out in testing and the other part is these tests usually aren't made for people with neurodivergances and results tend to come out strangely (if you take any personality test based on big 5 or hexaco you'll probably have way lower contentiousness scores for example). You aren't a genius, but you also aren't stupid, you're just you with all the strengths and flaws.
