I know, It's not a real IQ test, just some silly thing someone set up all by themself probably. It's so depressing because my yonger siblings are getting better grades than me. My brother is in Jr High and made honner roll, I never got that in Jr High. My sister, who is in Elementary School, has always been praised for her intellengence and is under the impression that her intellect is far superior to mine. I'm in High School. I feel like being the oldest of my siblings slows me down.

Firstly...IQ is subjective and not in any way indicative of how smart you are...some people I happen to know have always tested very highly...big deal they are social misfits have no social grace or clue as what that might even be...people have varied strengths as well as weaknesses... best for you to ignore that type of "classification" and focus on your personal strengths...you know what those are take pride in yourself and the types of activities that you are talented or proficient doing........hey you are SPECIAL in your own unique way...celebrate that!

Please do not take these things seriously! Internet IQ tests, I believe, are very innacurate! If you want to know your IQ I suggest either looking on your report card for a grade point average, or taking a more planned out one to specifically test your skills. I have taken one too and was not happy with the results, but I also know I am certainly NOT stupid, and my grades happen to be just fine. The thing with tests or quizzes over the computer is they only ask so many questions, and then put you into a FEW categories. My class took a "what's your color personality quiz the other day. There were 4 colors. In each one were pros and cons of the personality. I realized for my color which was blue, both in negative and possitive qualities, quite a few did not fit me, and these results were true to some other people too, and I was possitive I answered it truthfully. Soemtimes it's better to ask questions from friends or family, people close to you who know you, than just depend upon a few questions or more indirect ones at leasr, although quizzes can be helpful sometimes. As for this situation, please dont even stress about your results! Human's are more complicated than that! But I wont deny quizzes will be helpful in some points of life! I just dont trust online IQ quizzes! lol

So all like you said!

Now, about your siblings, Im sure you realise they ARE siblings and are going to feel inclined to do this, although it is not a nice or kind thing to do, they are younger than you, and seeing as you are older, they are going to feel more intelligent. HOWEVER, I am also in higschool, and I know that learning in highschool as opposed to elementary school is obviously, and dramatically different! Im sure you do to! Come on! What are they doing? 2+2? Even if they are in 6th or a little further below that grade perhaphs, there is still a huge difference in what you learn. Same goes for Jr.high! My grades arent always fabulous, but I do not get F's, only the occasional C's, which my parents arent always siked about, but are prou of me for taking such a great step up from past grades, especially my math grade. I managed to get a B in math this year, and all last year, except for 1st quarter, I flunked! There is also the fact that your siblings will ridicule you for this because of the lack of maturity, which does increase with growth.
Please know I have struggled, and I remember when I got into the pilot program and was sent to 6th grade for Junior High, I was so excited that I'd made it, and I knew it was because I WAS smart, because some others had not made it.
I came home to tell my sister...and she told me it had absoulutely nothing to do with being smart! Obviously she was having a few confidence problems with herself. You cant let these things bring you down girly! God loves us wether intellectualy intelligent or not so intellectually intelligent! He does want us to succeed in this world, and he makes sure to help us with these things! But, what he is more concerned about is that we love, have a wonderful relationship with Him, and seek his way (which would mean seeing things with the heart, using the emotional side of things to see more then intellectual, although we do need to make sence!)

You are incredibly special, and should be loved, and are, wether or not you have incredible school smarts or not! I do not, and I am sure I am loved for my personality, and people find my best qualities to be those that require thinking outside that intellectual state of mind! I can just tell by the way you described your feelings about this that, and hope, that you have some of those great qualities about you, because that's whats really going to atter! Being close to the ones you love, loving, spending time with them, getting married! It's all beautiful, and I believe much more interesting then school, although also very crucial as I stated!
Enough chit-chat! So sorry for the novel!

God Bless, and pleaaase dont worry. It's totally unesasary!

Your friend!

Maybe because you are stupid. Nothing wrong with that some of the most famous and rich people are stupid. My advice would aim to be a stripper or a pop star then your grade will not matter at all. Unless you ugly as well then damn, become an intern and have an affair with a famous person. Then cha-ching no more worrying about being stupid.

Did I mention that I have an internship at my office as a casting director?

Ouch! that has to hurt. Do you read these questions people put on here? Do you notice how they spell and how they ask questions? Trust me, you are NOT stupid. Ok, so maybe book smart isn't your thing, but I bet, dollars to donuts, you have common sense. That will get you farther in life than book smarts. Don't worry they are making straight "A's" and you are making straight "C's" That's not all there is to life. You need to find something that makes you happy. And years from now you will look back and you won't care what your grades were.

The world is run by "C" students! As for your sister...if she makes people feel that she is better than them...she is not going to be too well liked. The younger siblings always have the advantage of learning from their older brothers and sisters...you blazed the trail for them and made it easy. Sit tight

Listen sweetheart everyone has different qualities..If u are doing your best then u should be proud of yourself. Do not try to be like them. You need to stop focusing on them and just focus on you..Be proud of yourself and the only thing that can slow u down is you.Good luck hon

Do not compete with others with your grades. Do the best you can study hard and remember we are all different and achieve different things. We all excel better at some things than others. Look to what your strengths are.
