Default Took an online IQ test - now I'm a space cadet!

About halfway through the test I noticed the fog rolling in. I didn't want to quit in the middle of the test so I kept going...and now I'm a complete space cadet! I can literally feel my brain struggling now - its like flexing or something. Same thing that happens when I play video games.

Is that normal? I guess I can say at 6 months post-concussion/TBI I am NOT ready to start med school yet ...

I got a 119 by the way. That's probably not very accurate since it was an internet test...but yeah.

Time to lock myself in the room until it goes away!

I can see how an IQ test could waste your brain. They are designed to test your ability to do multi-step thinking. This is difficult for the PCS brain.

Med school is highly unlikely for those of us who have PCS. The stress loads are just too high.
