I would caution you against putting all your eggs in this particular basket.

I learned my IQ at age 17. In some ways it made validated and made sense of a lot of frustrations/impatience I had when trying to interact with other people. On the other hand, it also left me feeling more isolated and alone. Being "off the charts" can feel very very lonely.

I agree with others that counseling isn't a bad idea. It might help to sort through exactly what you are looking for and why.

Nothing wrong with wanting to get your IQ tested. I love data, I totally get it. But it is unlikely to solve any problems you have and may even present some unexpected new ones.

Best wishes, whatever you decide!
