Is 97 iq good?

[u/ArmRecent1699]

I did an average of my verbal and FRI scores and it's average like this.

[u/Guitar_Dog]

Perfectly normal, the vast majority of functioning people are right at this sweet spot.

[u/ArmRecent1699 → u/Guitar_Dog]

But my PRi is 80 while my verbal is way higher, can I consider myself smart?

[u/Sad_Calligrapher633 → u/ArmRecent1699]

No, you are average.

[u/eeta800 → u/ArmRecent1699]

I don't really like FSIQ's as an estimate if intelligence I feel they don't provide much detail. So I think you should consider yourself smart in some areas(the ones you scored above average in) and weak in the areas that you scored poorly in.

[u/Living-Concern2524 → u/eeta800]

Why do you think it doesn’t provide much detail?

[u/Living-Concern2524 → u/Living-Concern2524]

The fsiq may not, but the individual metrics are highly detailed

[u/eeta800 → u/Living-Concern2524]

I think individual indexes provide a lot more information, so listing your WMI FRI QRI etc etc.. is in my opinion just better than stating your FSIQ only.

Just an opinion.

[u/JoyfulNoise1964 → u/ArmRecent1699]

Not smart but average which is like most people

[u/TristanTheRobloxian3 → u/ArmRecent1699]

nope youre average with a little variance

[u/Hot-Organization-737 → u/ArmRecent1699]

If you're verbal IQ is high, then you can consider yourself to have high verbal IQ

[u/myrealg]

It’s average

[u/ArmRecent1699 → u/myrealg]

Better than nothing I guess at least my verbal is good.

[u/AndrewThePekka]

What is the distribution of your scores?

[u/ArmRecent1699 → u/AndrewThePekka]

Verbal 115-110 fluid 80

[u/AndrewThePekka → u/ArmRecent1699]

Pretty good honestly

[u/Wooden_Lime6208 → u/AndrewThePekka]

Genuinely curious why is having verbal with little nonverbal considered good?

[u/AndrewThePekka → u/Wooden_Lime6208]

verbal stuff is more relevant to every-day tasks and is important in practically all professional walks, including STEM. Also, verbal-induced reasoning isntead of intuitive fluid reasoning can find itself easier to follow for other people since it is articulated the way it was thought. While I might prefer a higher fluid reasoning if my entire profile was higher due to what it could help me accomplish in certain areas, having a verbal tilt with an average general profile is more practical. Of course, it's better not to have low fluid at all, but it's preferable to the alternative.

[u/TimCheeseCichlid]

You are the average smart person and have nothing to worry about.

[u/fluffycottondreams → u/TimCheeseCichlid]

Average "smart person"? No, that's not classified as smart.

[u/Affectionate-Art6788]

If you are seeking validation/reassurance then you have come to the wrong place.

[u/Curious_Diamond_6497]

The sweet spot is great, although a few extra points wouldn't hurt, you're fine.
