IQ test

I'd suggest ignoring that psychiatrist and doing another kind of IQ test. It wouldn't surprise me if you got a much higher than average result. Then you could go on to not care much about your IQ either way

 

Do you have difficulties taking care of yourself. Like microwaving things, managing your money or maintaining a job?

 

Something like ADHD is a possibility too. It's possible that the psychiatrist isn't right for you (or is just plain wrong about things too).

Even if your IQ is 89, that's only one point below the average range (90 - 110). I think if you did brain-training type exercises or something you could probably bring your IQ into the average range quickly enough.

IQ is only part of the picture. Learning difficulties, emotional difficulties, traumas and so on can affect many type of people, including geniuses! A high IQ isn't everything by any means.

 

An article you might find interesting (American article so it uses a word that's offensive in many countries but not the USA):

IQ tests aren't the most rigorously scientific things in the world (which could also be said of much of psychology in general). What if you had coincidentally spent the last year doing a lot of brain-training exercises before you did the IQ test? Perhaps you also did some hobbies such as language learning and computer programming? Maybe your IQ score would have been higher to some degree then also, whether that's manipulating the results or genuinely increasing your IQ or who knows really.

 

IQ test is a scam, you understand the intelligence of someone only with nous, intuition, not certanly by mere and lable ''statistics''.
