Aspergers normal to above normal IQ true or false?
You can also display intelligence in activities of daily life--if something breaks--can you figure out how to fix it?
I am learning to cook--it may take a few tries but I can usually go through some recipes and change them so it comes out the way it want.
Gardening--can you figure out what a plant needs to grow vigorously? Or, if its is flowering plant, to bloom profusely? Long term memory can be quite useful to a gardener.
There is no such things as a "true measure" of intelligence. The meaning of the concept of intelligence is entirely subjective, and so are all of the measurements of it.
It isn't meant to be "good" in and of itself. IQ scores are merely intended to be means to other ends.

True, you can do that and show intelligence by mastering these skills in your everyday life. However, you could also figure out ways to fix things so they preform better than the original ever did. That challenge would require more cognitive processes than just repairing it back to the way it was.

What I said above about the "true measure" of intelligence is an adaptation of Albert Einstein's quote: "The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination". Without imagination, there is no inspiration for innovation. While there is no perfect test to accurately measure all forms of intelligence, there exists things that exist only by someone's innovation.
IQs are only a measure of mental potential, much like the amount of charge in a battery. However, if you never use your mental skills properly, you will lose them with time.

Whatever your point is, I don't get it. The source of the concept of a "true measure" of intelligence has no bearing on the fact that there is no true measure of intelligence.
I'm going to keep this simplified at best when I was originally diagnosed as having AS my IQ was rated at between 82-89 but, I have innate knowledge of computers though not on a programming level as well, understand things that seem fairly complex therefore, numbers don't tell the whole story of a person's potential throughout life..

IQ is simply inadequate and overrated. It does not fully measure intelligence, but what it does measure of intelligence is rather one directional. Even when you take an IQ test that breaks down different cognitive abilities into separate scores and the overall IQ, it still is somewhat one directional as the cognitive abilities are not being tested at any kind of practical level.

IQ doesn't measure anything, but is itself a measurement.
Read some of Aristotle's work on measurement maybe?

Not without a reason to do so I won't.
My point is that a measurement is a measure. The unit is known as a measure.

That's interesting. It reminds me of my psychology lecture today...

I have taken the one suggested early in this thread, the basic online ones and a Mensa one, I come out around the same on every one, and to me, they all seem to be based on the same type of very logical rationing so I really don't see there can much to be 'wrong' about the online free ones. The more questions they ask the more 'precise' the result can be. The tiredness/alertness and the interest in the quiz will vary, probably leading to variances in the result. But basically, they all use the same type of visual problem, requiring no previous knowledge (except possibly very basic knowledge of shapes).
Who has had professional IQ tests and feels they got a vastly different result from the 'free online type'?
i had a different IQ test, my working memory, information processing and verbal I.Q was below average but my visual I.Q wa above, i dont know the exact numbers.
