Which test? An achievement/knowledge test or one where you repeat numbers and match figures and say what's wrong with a picture? There are lots of IQ tests; each measures differently. There are a number of kinds of IQ also.

Joy is correct. You need to go to a medical research facility to be assessed neurologically, cognitively, emotionally, mentally.

The IQ clincher was the argument about being a liability, and me saying you were being manipulative... I don't totally agree with your arguments, but they are not the expressions of someone with an IQ of 81.

It was some written questions like math problems and common knowledge facts and then you had to stack or connect some blocks so it would match the picture given

Meanwhile, how's the hospital going? Did they let you bring your own computer?

No, it's on my phone. And I'm not entirely sure how I like the hospital. It's kind of scary to be honest

New things can be scary, give it time.

Good sign that it's scary - means you aren't out to lunch. And know how many people actually are. And you are more likely to get out sooner.

The clincher for me is that you are in a psychiatric facility and have access to the internet so soon after admission.

Hospitals are for HEALING Allen, so relax and HEAL. You just have to follow instructions. I think you made a good decision for yourself.

I am allowed to look on the internet with certain restrictions

Sounds reasonable to me. Sure beats sitting around staring at a dreary bunch of walls, barred windows, and drugged people playing solitaire or staring blankly at a TV.
