Is shizophrenia linked to lower or higher intelligence?

[Mortimer]

Im curious and if you had to vaguely or broadly guess my IQ what would you guess

Best guess is no link or linked more to lower, if just sampling random articles from a standard search argument.

In the broadest terms , the lower your IQ the more likely you will suffer from Schizophrenia .But that is probably descriptive rather than total causal as an explanation .You asking us to guess your IQ suggests you have completed a test and you now think you score higher than we will guess , or that you thought likely . If you are more than 120 I will be surprised, but you should read IQ results in conjunction with personality test results and after a face to face chat with a psychiatric specialist . In your case I would be more concerned with personality inventory results as I supect your weaknesses there will hold you back most in terms of personal and work goals and attainment.

White has answered the question on risk associated with IQ, very well.

I'm pretty good at guessing IQ from very little information. I'll give you about 110.

That could change according to your response.

Indications so far are that it won't be 120.
But your answer indicates that it takes very little information to make an accurate guess.
I'll give you 125-127.

Higher IQ. I agree. Me too.

 

[jwoodie]

I wonder if schizophrenia correlates to brain size. Being male and having Neanderthal DNA makes it more likely.

No . You can do very little to change results -- about 5 points if you practise or are coached .

Mort, do you have schizophrenia?

 

[Donald H]

Right but I didn't suggest otherwise. I simply made a guess on his IQ being about 110.

And I gave you about 125-127.

And fwiw, supposing that 127 is right, I don't think there's any way of getting you to 132. Probably more likely to get the 100 to 105.

Which one of them comes off as the lowest IQ to you? Does anyone stand out?

 

[luiza]

Right but I didn't suggest otherwise. I simply made a guess on his IQ being about 110.

I was once tested during a procedure i applied for bypass surgery, a psychological evaluation is required, and a approval of the psychiatrist, but not just any notification or message, you need to pay for a certification. i did a personality invetory, a personal talk with a councellor and an IQ test. I scored very low on the IQ test, i think 84 or 83. Im very low IQ, you overestimate me by large, 120 lol, but i dont feel like that, because i was "good" in school and university

 

[Mortimer]

Mort, do you have schizophrenia?

Yes, I have shizophrenia and i didnt made that up, i can show you my diagnosis, it is official.

 

[The Duke]

Yes.

I wish u the best treatment

Then I'm leaning more toward 127 for you!

 

[Dogmaphobe]

IQ drops and schizophrenia rises in relation to consanguinity levels.

Inbred populations like Pakistan have lower IQS and higher levels of schizophrenia than countries like the U.S.

You really need to know the name of the test that was used . You are not IQ 84 as that is literally Moron level, though that term is no longer used . And you certainly would not be accepted by any UK university with a 84 score -- you would not literally be able to follow the course .Verbal ability is only one IQ component and that is the only way I could make a guess -- vocabulary, logic, comprehension , sentence construction etc .I scored you OK ,particulary if English is not your first language. Perhaps I scored you slightly high so as not to deflate you but I doubt I will be far wrong in a full and real life situation .Your weakness is in the socialisation area -- type and amount of home and school edcation and how you formed standards , aims and reaction to feed -back . Hope there is something of use here .

Of course you would like me to be at your level . Tough titty , as we say ..
