My guess, from taking a few iq tests back then (but never official):
Before schizophrenia: 135-145.
Now. 120-140.
Am I correct? Or, am I aiming off scale?
What's your guess?

Hey you! What’s my guess...well one interpretation—the concomitancy hypothesis—holds that IQ loss is a product of schizophrenia. In this respect, your IQ could have suffered.
The second, prodromal hypothesis, infers that IQ deficit precedes and facilitates the development of schizophrenia. In this case your prior IQ would not be affected, but was actually a predisposing factor.
It is all a matter of which came first...the chicken or the egg—the schizophrenia or the IQ deficit.
To clarify...the highest possible IQ score depends on the test and the standard deviation used, but typically anything over 200 is termed “Immeasurable" genius. A score above 145 is considered genius and average falls between 85 - 115 (high school level).
From viewing your blogs, drawings, etc. you definitely posses above average intelligence—but it is questionable whether or not an official IQ test would depict such.
The problem is that the IQ is an ambiguous measure of the capacity and power of the brain. It fails to take into account that the brain actually consists of two brain hemispheres. For example, although it helps to have a high IQ to be a successful (creative) artist or great musician...this is not a prerequisite.
Intelligence tests have a one-dimensional approach to the degree of giftedness they award the test taker. I would not concern myself with such triviality.
My best to you always...

Average iq is 100. 75 is the range for retardation. 130 is "Highly intelligent" With 140 I believe being genius. Don't take any IQ test online, they aren't accurate. there is no highest because it's on a bell curve. After 160, you are getting to the top .5% of the world. But it could technically go on. I believe the highest ever recorded is somewhere in the 220s. Lowest could go down to 0 depending on how mentally handicapped a person is. I work with people whose IQ's are in the 20's and 30's.

To be honest I can't really tell with out an IQ test, but I think you IQ is somewhere around 120-145.

The "official test" goes well over 135, in fact Marilyn Vos Savant has an i.q. of 228. Mine is 146.

The "official" test only goes up to 135. So unless you are one of the smartest people in the world, statistics say that you are not quite that smart.
Schizophrenia won't affect your intellectual capacity, it will just make it virtually impossible to get an accurate test unless you are medicated.
However, there is no way to tell without knowing you.
Who told you that you are Schizophrenic anyways?

You are probably correct now...before you had 2 minds working and everyone knows 2 heads are better than 1.
