Is 109 IQ the best IQ to be?

It certainly is better than having a 90iq and not being able to post literature related things on a literature board, OP.

/sci/ and /his/ are 125
/tv/ is 115 (smart people enjoy trash)

/lit/ is for 100-110 (absorb knowledge rather than create it) <-- you are here

/biz/ averages 80 but with the highest outliers up to 140.

/tv might actually the most dishonest board on 4chan. You know what youre getting into when going to /pol but /tv is the same garbage painted in another color. films and tv are like religion and politics. everyone knows about it and thinks he should publicly state their opinion. I cannot fathom how on earth those charts that float around have ever come to be around here when people visiting this board only seem to be normie tier shitheads who in the end hating on themselves for being mainstream swallowing brainlets.

/lit/ and /sci/ are the same the coin, just different sides. Their cross-boarders (as in, those from low-IQ boards that just shitpost and don't contribute) come from different boards though, /sci/ gets a greater variety. In regards to character and subject matter, they are akin.

What if you're slow at reading and l mean really slow, I know reading speed isn't the best indicator of intelligence but what if you can only read 11 pages an hour usually, surely it would be lower than 115? If so what would it be
read moby-dick at a rate of 6-12 pages an hour
read blood meridian 8-11 pages
read rutherfords quixote 15 pages
read a tale of two cities 6-10 pages
read questions that matter 4-5 pages
read heart of darkness 6-15 pages
read lotr 15-18 pages
read art of fiction 6 pages
read botns 10-15 pages
read lattimores iliad 8-12 pages
read the confidence man 6-12 pages
read a canticle for leibowitz 8-14 pages
read hombre at 10-15 pages
read butchers crossing at 8-18 pages
reading lonesome dove at 8-12 pages

This was made as a joke, but the order is more or less correct. The top is roughly 125iq, the plateau is roughly 115 iq, then it decreases linearly til /co/ where we're reaching sub 100 territory.

Does anybody know how they can get their IQ tested as an adult? I was put in the gifted program in primary school for doing extremely well on the CogAt, but that's not an IQ test. I know Mensa does some kind of testing, but it's also not technically an IQ test either, and apparently my CogAt score already qualifies me to join them, so what's the point?

I am very interested in knowing my IQ
