guess the drugs didn't do as much damage as I'd thought

Back when I was a very small, very introverted kid I was given an IQ test by a teacher who decided to take an interest. Probably because he couldn't ask my parents, who weren't taking much interest themselves, he just went ahead and had it done. After taking the test I was put into a gifted program at school and asked if I was interested in skipping a grade (I wasn't), but I was never told what my IQ had turned out to be.
It wasn't until many years later that I found my old IQ test amongst some papers at my Mom's house and I learned that I had scored a 150. Which, just for the record, is spectacularly high.
Now, I wouldn't presume to think that I might score similarly as an adult, not after the things I did to my body during my poorer-decision-making days. Upon reflection, I don't even know how I can think clearly these days at all. But I have occasionally been interested in re-taking the test, just to see how many points I've lost over the years. So tonight I took an online version of an IQ test, sponsored by CBC. I didn't get a 150, but I scored respectively enough that I'm posting the result.
After the life I've had, a 123 isn't too shabby at all. Anyone else want to share their results? Take the test here.

I think I'll take it after my coffee. I'm afraid.
I'm afraid to take it!
Though I had somewhat of a similar experience. When I was 11 or 12, I took a MENSA test that was actually meant for adults. I did quite well on it; they sent me a letter back saying I qualified for MENSA but that there was just one problem: I had to be at least 14 years old to join.
Aw c'mon Michael, its all in good fun.
And I'm still waiting Dawn...
