There are multiple ways you can be able to tell how smart you are (testing wise), for example:
-Taking achievement tests such as the SAT, ACT, GRE (these cover areas like math, reading, and science).
-Taking standardized tests like the IQ tests (like the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale)
-Taking Memory Tests
-Taking personality assessments
-Taking Differential Aptitude Tests
Please note that many of these tests mentioned are not free and might be expensive, also testing is not the only way to determine someone's intelligence. Applying the knowledge and skills you've retained in doing practical fieldwork and real-life tasks can also demonstrate your creativity and how well you handle problem solving.

Hey Vivian,
It's great that you want to challenge yourself and understand your intelligence levels better! I know how frustrating it can be to work in a noisy classroom where it's hard to concentrate. Let's look at some solutions that might work for you moving forward.
If you're interested in testing your intellectual capabilities, consider resources like the official Mensa IQ test or other standardized tests such as the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale), which you can find online or through psychologists. This could give you not only a snapshot of your reasoning abilities but also insight into various cognitive areas beyond just math. Each test usually comes with an explanation of your score, which can help you understand your strengths.
On top of that, while you’re looking into assessments, try to enhance your study environment and methods. Create a study schedule that clearly delineates times for math practice, reading, and other subjects you feel less confident about. There’s also an option to use noise-canceling headphones or listen to soft music while studying to drown out background chatter. It can totally change your focus levels!
Also, consider leveraging apps geared towards learning like Quizlet or even educational YouTube channels that offer math tutorials - these can simplify complex topics. Another nifty option is connecting with a tutor either in person or online through platforms like Wyzant or Tutor.com—sometimes having one-on-one assistance can provide the extra boost you need, particularly in math.
Remember, the journey toward self-improvement is just that – a journey. Take your time and don’t hesitate to explore various methods until you find the right fit for you!
Stay positive and keep pushing forward,
Aman
