If it wasn’t Stanford-Binet or Wechsler, ignore it entirely.
86 is well within functional levels.
There’s absolutely no reason anyone would ask you for an IQ score to get a job (unless you’re a cop, and then they want it low anyway). That’s partly because it’s instilled useless info, and partly because most people don’t know theirs.
Seriously, IQ scores don’t mean much at all. The only real use for them is for people with learning disabilities, to help guide them to appropriate resources. That’s it. If you’re in the normative range, it’s a useless number. It’s essentially a waste of your time to have taken it.
Besides, you can have genius number IQs, and it doesn’t mean shit either. There’s so many other factors that matter in terms of what you can and can’t do that even at the highest possible scores, it won’t give you an automatic advantage in everything.
