Is there even a point in measuring your iq?
I graduated top of my class in school (private) and college (top ranked, stem major). My parents are stem academics.
Will knowing my iq somehow change my life? What's even the point?

Are you scared of something you don't want to know?

At this point your personality is set, so it would just become a factoid about yourself
But NEVER EVER tell your child their IQ, high or low, it will color their thinking and set them up for failure

Maybe out of curiosity. It's more important to understand your personality and pursue your strengths. If your IQ skews a certain way it also helps to know.

Yeah, imagine all that just for a measly iq of 129

It mainly appeals as validation for people who are more intelligent than average (or at least think they are) but are underachievers.
Once someone has some actual accomplishments they don't need to be validated by a number.

129 is pretty good

What are you expecting? 129 is at the bottom end of what's usually considered "genius." Not everyone needs to be some 165 IQ super genius. In fact, it's probably better you aren't. Most people who are abnormally smart end up incredibly mentally ill.

No it's just silly social science concepts made up by silly social science people. These silly social science people use statistical theory as a deterministic measurement. When statistical theory clearly states it's non deterministic.
Silly social scientist.

Same, but being smarter has never made that process better. If anything it makes things much more frustrating because I'm always trying to rationally think my way out of emotional turmoil that I didn't rationally think my way into. To put it bluntly, it doesn't work.

IQ is mostly good for diagnosing special educational needs, or perhaps as a crude way for finding people with high potential but low knowledge/experience.
Maybe it will give you more understanding of which specific cognitive areas you are strong/weak in relatively speaking.

It's more important to be kind
