Well, when I was a junior in High School I took some government instated IQ test. It tested you in six different categories of knowledge, my average throughout the six tests was 124 or so. That's the only IQ test I've ever taken in my life.
While I'm hesitant to place a solid number on it, I feel comfortable saying that my IQ is above 130, which is to say I feel comfortable saying I'm more intellegent than most people I've met. And I can't fucking stand it sometimes.
Apologies for the brievety.

one said 136, the second said 142.
But they also said that i can store alot of information but have trouble remembering it sometimes. Like in stressing periods or shit. They explained it to me with an analogy:
If my mind is a library I can store thousands of books where the average person can store hundreds. But I can't keep inventory of what books I put where. So sometimes it takes me longer to find them. Makes me good at math and solving logistic problems.
By the way, here is a question:
It doesn't surprise me that most people here have an IQ over 120. Since you are smart enough to type without dropping your pants. But doesn't it annoy you alot of the time that people are less intelligent then you? I mean, sometimes when i'm in class and I understand everything that was said from the first time. Then there is some idiot going: "Huh? Durrr... I don't understand that no no". It just pisses me off.
I can understand how people get mad at my spelling tho... Eventho english isn't my native language, it's still pretty bad. But like I said, my linguistic skills suck. Science and math is what I do.

Actually, I thought it meant if he was with nintey-nine of his peers, on average, there would be one with an equal or greater IQ.slayaDmoney said:
Of course, he could've screwed up and gone to a "I'm a friggin' Super-Genius" convention. He would still be in the 98th percentile, but instead of having as high or higher an IQ as one person in the room, his IQ would be as low or lower than one person in the room. Wouldn't that be a kick in the nuts?
Apologies if that last bit made no sense; really, it wasn't supposed to.
I can't remember in what scale I took the IQ Test, but it's something like 150-170.
I don't mention it much though, most people hate smarter people.

Ok, i am not going to read all 7 pages of the thread to check if this has been said already, so if it has ignore this
The IQ test was developed to identify if you have mental retardation, if you score higher than an 80, your score doesn't matter, you have not mental handicap, having an IQ of 240 does not necessarily mean you are smarter than someone with an IQ of 100. The Man who developed the IQ test, Alfred Binet, personally believed that you can not represent human intelligence with one number (seriously, you can't).
It really pisses me off when i see internet adds like: This celebrity scored xyz on their IQ test, see if you are smarter than them. Yes i am, no matter what.
To answer the Question actually posed on the thread though, my IQ 3 years ago was 168
