Yowza - I got 160.
I just took the test: 147, which puts me in the "Genius Professors/Researchers" category. Damn, I'm brilliant! :-)
I did to an IQ test as a lab in psychology 25 or so years ago. As I recall my score was around the 99th percentile. Assuming that test was reasonably accurate and that I haven't become much brighter or dimmer in a quarter century that would be about equivalent to
134 on the Wechsler 136 on the Stanford-Binet 154 on the Cattell.
So I suppose the IQtest.com might be roughly equivalent to the Cattell test (have the same SD in other words) (Every IQ test has a mean of 100).
The 98th percentile (which is the entry level for Mensa) is 132 on the Wechsler 134 on Stanford-Binet 151 on Cattell
Make of this silliness what you like :)
