Prior to taking the tests:
I believe my IQ is fairly good. I don't think it is high, but I do feel that my intelligence is average. My opinion of most IQ tests is there are certain variables such as age, gender, race, and ethnicity that are not accounted for when developing IQ tests. Majority of literature states that racial minorities perform poorly on IQ tests when compared to their white counterparts. Most of these tests are culturally biased.

After taking the test:
I did well on these tests. I did a little better than I anticipated on one of them in particular. I still feel the same about IQ tests. There is some cultural bias in these tests. I always have the most difficult with word problems. I have always had difficulty with word problems. I usually have to read them multiple times in order to remotely understand what they are asking. I found these tests to be fairly accurate. These results were useful because they helped me to realize which of my knowledge areas need improvement.
