So, I personally think that IQ tests are suitable for testing one's ability to take IQ tests rather than measuring anything particularly useful predictive about intelligence. That said, I have undergone IQ testing twice, once as a pre-teen, and most recently about 5 years ago. Both scores were >120, I'm not particularly interested in revealing what they are.
1) How did you fare academically? In high school, meh - I was extremely bored with the curriculum at the start, and pretty ambivalent about it in the end. In college, quite well - I maintained a 3.9+ GPA until I dropped out for non-academic related reasons.
2) How fast did you learn a new concept? Generally speaking, quite quickly though that really only applies to things I'm actually interested in learning.
3) Did you have to study much outside of school? Almost never
4) What was difficult for you to learn and what wasn't? I would say that my success (not difficulty) in learning a subject correlated to my interest more than anything.
5) How did it feel being around people that had it a bit more difficult to learn new concepts, remember things, solve problems etc I didn't find it much of an issue. I have at times found it difficult to relate to people who's thinking is very black/white and not nuanced. I don't find their thoughts generally very interesting.
6) When you solve a problem in let's say mathematics (you can use another example) what is your approach and thought process when solving it? It varies.
7) How was your experience when learning a new language? Did it come to you easily? I never attempted to learn a second language until well into adulthood. I don't find it easy.
