I took an official IQ test even though it made absolutley no sense to me I made a high score. Anyone have any ideas as to why? And another thing why do i find hard problems easy and simple problems hard?

IQ is just the starting point. You have to educate and train your brain to make your IQ productive. Read. Study. Take classes. and spend a lot of timing doing that which few are willing to do ... Think!

Not stroking my own ego here, but a lot of people tell me I'm very intelligent and I'm still disbelieving when I hear it. A lot of times, it's just that you don't really gauge your own intelligence or you gauge it against (this really applies to people in AP classes) people who are REMARKABLY intelligent, and take them for "average" or just "smart".
As for the inverted perception of difficulty, I have the same problem. The fact of the matter is that you probably overthink the simple problems so much so that they become impossible because you're looking for "the catch".
In any case, don't take those tests as any real measure of intelligence. There's a reason they're called "standardized".

An IQ score of 90-110 is considered average, so you've got nothing to worry about. Nobody knows everything, and even people with IQs of 147 make stupid mistakes. trust me.
Just do your best at whatever you try, and learn from your mistakes.

IQ tests selection appreciably, as do the outcomes from such tests. On any given day you'll score as extreme as one hundred forty. at the same time as the form of score enlivens ones ego, if an same attempt is repeated on yet another day the score will likely decrease. This phenomenon is termed "regression to the norm." it truly is a statistical "regulation of varieties" formally referred to as "least squares." by the years, extreme rankings "have a tendency" to revert to the norm, therefore, a score of about one hundred and ten/one hundred and twenty. in actuality, what one has is a "cloud" of files factors on an X/Y coordinate device. by that cloud of factors one attracts a immediately line from the inspiration (0,0) in an attempt to convey each of the practise factors as close to to the line as conceivable. by the years, as better files factors are further (from repeated IQ tests) those factors will flow closer and in route of that line. hardship-free IQ rankings hover round one hundred and ten - one hundred and twenty. although the reliability of such tests were further into question contained in the present previous. some were discovered to be culturally biased. subsequently, the outcomes were skewed and are faulty.

111? Dude I don't know if I'd exactly call that a "high score". Higher than average maybe.

You are asking if you over think and the answer is yes.
Also hard problems are easy because they are more interesting.
