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.

@Dainbramadge We're really looking at a collective i.q of below 5!!

@EugenieLaBorgia To be honest I did open up another tab and had the Mensa scores on it so I was aware of the abnormally high scores.
But I did get a few answers that I do believe were honest.

@Dainbramadge If you ask them about their education, they are all university students, highly-qualified.....and jobless!!

@EugenieLaBorgia LOL See I didn't say they told me I was a genius
I said they informed me my ability to learn was pretty high ,
then after my Aptitude test they started offering me all kinds of guaranteed schools but I turned them down and an automatic pay grade after completion .
I was only 16 and already dreading leaving my wife ,
to take a school and be away from her longer was more then I could bear ,
Now if I was brilliant I would have taken the school
and went back in and became a lifer after she left me anyway .
So it shows that we can learn ,not that we are necessarily bright
I have a lot of good trades under my belt and I am good with my hands
but I still hate taking tests and school .but I love to watch others and learn how to do the things I seen them do ,thats how I like learning .hands on

@rckt148 Same here - but then I became a super, secret agent, American hot dog, billionairess, astronaut, super heroine!

@rckt148 I saw on the Mensa site that they do most of their testing on teens. I guess they get them early so they can properly brainwash them. LOL
I am a hands on guy too. I learn a lot faster when I see it done.
I took the A.S.F.A.B. projection test and scored high enough to get in. I know that their standards aren't super high. LOL. But I did score higher than projected. I patted myself on the back for that too. :-).
I was lucky in life that I was allowed to get a lot of machining and fabricating experience over about a 15 year span. The result of my I.Q. test did say that was a good fit for me and they were right. I love it.
Sorry to hear about the wife splitting. What a crap hand you were delt with that.

@rckt148 She is some funny people isn't she??? LOL. I love it.

@Dainbramadge Yes ,,if she only knew what I have done she would know I am one of the most humble poor rich men you are ever going to meet .
I have slept with the Hobo;s after I rubbed elbows with stars
The rise and fall of a know it all ..
and I have never told anyone they called me a genius
but I have had a lot of people tell me I should submit to them because they were and then tell me their IQ's like that impressed me
but I like her humor ,she and I are always cool 🍻
