I've heard about the IQ Score all my life but I've never had my score made known to me.

Was that supposed to happen in school? Was I home sick that day?

Is there a standard pamphlet for evaluation? Is it so standard I never noticed it stacked up for free at the entrances of public libraries?

Maybe everyone but me knows the self-evaluation web domain, and it's address is as ubiquitous as knowing to dial 911. I dunno.

I do wonder though, for those that have learned their score, have they retested...say, once per decade? Because I expect plotting that series of score graphs an arc.

I imagine my score would have ascended from child to young man. I confess, like HAL 9000, I can "feel" less astute as my older self continues degrading towards my end of life.

The IQ Score shouldn't be a one-dimensional number. It would be more interesting to know everyone's Arc Score. How high its crest. How wide its arches.

Just an IQ Score is for the smaller ego. People not sharing their life's plotting points but only disclosing their one, most flattering score accomplished.
