[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a "low IQ" based on school assessments. I can share my own story.

I went to a big SEC school and flourished. I graduated with a perfect GPA and went to peace corps (because I didn't know what to do with my life...maybe I was just too "low IQ" to figure it out.").

I returned and decided to attend law school. I actually surprisingly scored a 176 on the LSAT (which is one of the highest scores one could pull on that test).

I went to an elite law school, clerked, did a stint in a big firm and am now happily am a fed (even more happy now that I'm getting paid).

What that entire experience taught me was that IQ tests are really a flawed tool for assessing intelligence. Incredibly flawed. And most importantly, IQ isn't a static thing. It obviously changes since my LSAT score allows me to join MENSA while the elementary school assessments bordered on the line of a learning disability.[/quote]

IQ tests are very reliable ways to test intelligence; those LSAT scores of you're correlate very closely with scores on IQ tests.  Schools don't generally give IQ tests; they have to be administered one on one by a licensed psychologist.  I suppose it's possible that your school had one, but apparently she was poor at her job.
