Do you know your real I.Q.???

I took an online I.Q. test a long time ago. My score was 117. Now that may not sound very high but here is what I found on Quora.
[quote]A person with an IQ of 117 is in the 85th percentile of all people. The tested person did better on the test than 85 people and 15 did better than them.[/quote]
Now besides the actual question I will add this just as a bonus question : The night I took the test I had been drinking a bit. The test is supposed to be done in a 20 minute time frame and I finished in 10. The big one is that I hadn't been diagnosed yet with A.D.H.D and wasn't on my Adderall.
So I am wondering if people think I would have done any better if the situation would have been different or if that reflected the same outcome.

@MartinTheFirst I really appreciate honest answers. I knew I would get people that would just guess or try to be impressive. Great answer. :-)

@Dainbramadge honestly I found the test to be bullshit, not just when getting the result but when actually doing it.

@MartinTheFirst I kind of rushed it myself because it looked to be stupid shit to me too. I would look at the question for a few seconds and if the answer didn't just pop out at me I hit the " can't be answered " button and moved on. LOL

@Dainbramadge Sounds like you're just trying to humble brag my friend. However I don't believe that the iq test measures anything decipherable so it passes me by unnoticed.

@MartinTheFirst You could be right. But in my mind I wanted to get the general public's opinion on the whole situation.
I originally took the test because I was having issues at work and I felt that my intelligence itself was being questioned. The test satisfied me and made me feel a little better about myself.
Sorry if I come off like a braggart it honestly wasn't my intention.

@Dainbramadge It's no one's intention to brag to the point where other people gets [i]less[/i] of an opinion. The bragger does it in a natural way (they mean it) where they believe that it will be received well by others around them. I'm glad it brought you more confidence in your self, that can't hurt anyone really. Yet it is an observable fact that people will accept nearly any compliment thrown their direction. I guess I just find it amusing.

I only weaponize it once it makes someone act arrogant, hence I do not intend to make you feel bad.
