  @pdworkin I’m not thinking about any test in particular. ATM I’m just comparing tests, prices, etc. Could you point me to a psychometric institution or association? I can’t find much, and whatever organizations I find are outside of the U.S.

  @PandoraBoxx Was the price for that a standalone thing, or did you get that price because you did some other additional testing? @Jeruba Reread my first comment; reread my question. @augustlan Mensa doesn’t conduct proper IQ tests. They have their own proprietary tests and deal in percentile rank instead of IQ.

  Oh, I should mention that I’m the 1/6th of America that doesn’t have sick care insurance. PandoraBoxx, is the $350 with or without sick care footing part of the bill? I didn’t know that sick care would actually pay for an IQ test. Interesting…

  Thanks for the reply, Ernie. To clarify, I don’t simply “want a Ph.D.” I could see myself in academia in one of a few fields in which I’m interested. I’m just beginning my reevaluation of my life and doing some preliminary research as to what I might want to POSSIBLY do with my life. And if, during my trek I decide not to pursue an academic career, I can always do other things with my doctorate.

  Going to grad school several years after getting a bachelor's degree, during which time I graduated with an unremarkable GPA?

  For anyone reading this, I am NOT implying that I wish to head directly into a Ph.D program. I can and would probably better stand a chance of getting a masters first. Girlofscience, thanks for your long, informative post, the first part of which nearly crushed my hopes under a heavy dose of reality, only to be salvaged by the second half. A few questions come to mind: 1) “Going right into a Ph.D program is advantageous because tuition is waived and a living stipend is provided.” Can you expand a little more on the tuition waiver and stipend? Surely this can’t be true for ALL Ph.D programs and students? I used to know someone in grad school for International Relations and after talking to him I was under the impression that tuition waivers were rare and stipends even moreso. This discussion took place a few years ago, so the details have eluded me. 2) I was under the impression that you needed letters of recommendation simply to be accepted into a grad school masters program, but what you’re saying implies that this is not necessary? Thanks in advance.
