Would you not even care if it were high or low or would it?

I can only surmise that knowing your IQ would affect you, be it in a positive or negative way...high IQ might influence you to strive to learn, or could also give a false sense of confidence in one's abilities. On the other hand, knowing you have a low IQ might lead to a sense of defeatism, but could also provide an impetus to succeed despite the low IQ...it really all depends on personality type. Personally, it wouldn't matter to me what my IQ might be.

it could, yes. if you found out you had a low IQ then you might try harder or you might give up, thinking the you were stupid. if you found out it was high, you might ease up a little and it would drop or you might be proud of it and would want to keep it up or even improve it. it all depends on the person. personally i don't think it would really effect me.
peace

Of course it would. It's like someone telling you you have anger management issues, except, when you get an IQ result that shows you're stupid, it's of no one's opinion, and a direct result of a assessment you have done.

i've known mine since i was young. The school where i went to, prides itself on being one of the best in the world, and practices IQ tests to their alumni on a regular basis. It didn't and hasn't changed a thing. 143 just in case you wondered, but as i said, this number wouldn't change my personality, capability to adapt to certain situations or my social abilities.

It matters sometimes, it's good to know but if you're the type of person that stresses out a lot because you do bad then you should forget about it and continue on working hard.
