I consider a high IQ a fairly meaningless measure of ability since it doesn't measure creativity, visual acuity, musical ability, athleticism, motivation, inter-personal skills, management skills, spatial ability, or so many other important skills.
And I fall mostly on ski slopes.

No one ever told me what my IQ was. When I was in jr. high, a kid took a peek at my IQ record on the teacher's desk and told me it was 85. At the high school, I had to take the test twice, because my guidance counsellor couldn't believe the result, must be awfully low. But I graduated from high school, receiving 5 yr math award, physics award, chemistry award, 2 yr German award and RPI Engineering award. I graduated from college and worked as an elecronic engineer for 34 years before retiring. One of my sons is a senior software engineer for a major aerospace company and the other is a plastic surgeon. Life has been good to me.

i would think about 150+ when tested for dyslexia i was told my iQ showed 140 but my real IQ was probably higher.

I would say 130. I am 150.

My tests average around 150. Which is considered rather high.
Then again, It's just one variable of o so many (including physical treats), which together create our talent.
I think in life it's about discovering your talent. Seeing it wasted is one of the saddest things.
To me it's just a silly number, like my shoesize.

I think I am a bit above 100 (I think it was 120 last time I checked).....I think I'm about average
by MisterKnowItAll on August 19th, 2009
Over 150.

Somewhere around 140 or so.

As a member of Mensa, I consider 138 to be the beginning edge of genius and therefore a high IQ ... my IQ has been Mensa tested to around 148, which is well above the average person, but actually low for a Mensan ...

100-125 is okay.... Erm... I'm somewhere in 185-200 depending on who you ask...
I hide my intelligence (or try) though... I don't want others feeling less intelligent, or calling me "geek," "nerd," "dork." et cetera... I don't want them accusing me of showing off my intelligence either...
Hope this helps... :D

My IQ is high enough that I realize that "high" IQ's really don't mean much.
by Thriftymaid on August 19th, 2009
Average is 100. I'm higher than that.
by Nightwatchdog on August 19th, 2009
High IQ's mean so very little..but that aside, a really high IQ to me is in the 160's...and last time I checked I was in the 140's someplace....147 or 149 or something.
Whatever, this means nothing - I'm just good with tests and I always have been...standardized layout & scoring in most tests has a pattern which is easy enough to recognize once you know the methodology.
Anyway I guess I'm "average" enough - I'm certainly no Einstein - I suck at mathematics and find it boring.
