IQ tests were designed by and administered to largely a western european based/raised audience. As such they are only useful in determining the "intelligence" of such and are very very biased towards what such western european minds consider "intelligent".. And then you toss in the impact of error bars and it's not surprising that some internet lowest common denominator test produces wildly disparate results..

To make a long story short these types of tests aren't "science" but mostly polls registering popular opinion..

But let me get off my soapbox.

You are sick, your body only has so much resources, since you are sick it is forced to apply a greater amount of said resources to the disease and thus you have less left to be "smart" with.
