Hello all! Before I list my results, I want to establish a bit of a background.
I am a twenty year old male who struggled substantially in school. I have vivid memories that chronicle every stage of my educational past, and a recurring theme was an unwavering feeling of isolation (I will note that this feeling of isolation was internal, and to the passive observer I certainly appeared to be adept socially) All throughout my childhood I was consumed by obsessions, and I remember my earliest being the art of illusion and telekinesis. In 7th grade I was interested in web development and created a website with flash minigames and a forum for discussion; many students used it during school hours and to my dismay,the school eventually blocked it! Currently I am interested in music and have been for the last 5 years (music theory and historical music, specifically music spanning baroque to romantic). I have composed close to 40 works of my own. I never liked the structured environment of school and as a result, I have sat through many long hours of detention fidgeting in my chair (one time the seat melted from the fidget induced friction lol). My school didn't have a very good gifted program from what I recall but I wasn't identified regardless. I forgot to mention, I was highly disorganized and forgetful.

Fast forward ---zoom; I am in the military and I have not attended college. Recently I've been wondering if I would be considered gifted (my self esteem sort of low because I haven't accomplished anything SIGNIFICANT) and if so, to what extent. Being that I'm married, living on my own, and more financially stable than ever I took the WAIS IV. My results were:
VCI: 150
PRI: 131
WMI: 119
PSI: 114
FSIQ:140
I was shocked! I thought my FSIQ would be around 120, but never as high as it apparently is...
How could I have never been identified? Did I miss out on valuable resources? I feel confused and maybe even cheated. I do blame myself partially because my past is riddled with feats of my immaturity.
I intend to go to college after the completion of my contract so I can use the GI bill.
I highly appreciate your time! Thanks!
