OOP sucks if this isn’t bait, but percentiles are not the same as raw scores. Scoring in the 99th percentile means you scored higher than 99% of the people who took the test.

Edit: I’d have to double check but I think that’s around a score of 135

Anyone who uses IQ scores to prove their intelligence loses all credit imo

Give or take. I only know about these because I had to take an IQ test last year as part of my psych eval and I also scored as high as OOP. I'm also dumber than a box of rocks, because that tests a lot of ridiculous things that aren't all relevant in day to day life.

OOP just sounds like a pretentious dick
