If you have a few hundred dollars (or it's covered by insurance) you could get an IQ test from a qualified professional. Your college might even offer this service for students attempting to see if they have learning disabilities.

And the compromise is to study economics. The academic market for economists with Phds is great.

Btw, is an IQ test by Mensa usually as trustworthy and worthwhile than a similar test by a psychologist?

Mensa tests are administered by psychologists. At least in Germany that is, but I assume Mensa has standards on this.
