I am pretty sure your change had to do with age and development. IQ is best measured as an adult in your 20s, near the prime of your life, on a good day when you are well nourished and slept well. These things combine to give you an accurate assessment of your score. Whether it can change or not on a permanent basis, apart from innate biology...well, I would hope so but I really can't be sure.
But the tested value definitely changes by circumstance, and education can vastly improve the score. The main reason for that I suspect is that most IQ tests are not really measuring intelligence, they are measuring education level. If you can accurately solve equations that you have learned how to do correlates to but does not measure your intellectual potential.
By the by, I'm curious if type aligns to IQ at all? I scored 134 when I took one in 4th grade (school sponsored testing program), and I am pretty sure I am an NF and not an NT. Plus, I never took one as an adult, so I have no idea what I would get now. Do you think that IQ has a correlation to type differences?
