Due to other factors in my lifetime, I've had numerous tests done on my
so-called "IQ". It measured with wide discrepancies over my lifetime.
I gave up giving that number much of any credence, after a number of
years, simply because it didn't get up every day and practice long
tones, difficult runs, and sight reading - I did. And, still do when I
can cut out some decent time.
