Most of the tests I have done put me at around 138 but for a while I was doing a lot of logic puzzles and my IQ went to 160. The theory behind IQ tests is that this shouldn't be possible.
But the fact that the results factor in the participant's age means that oohing and ahing about this mere teenager with a higher IQ than Einstein is meaningless.

as i see it, IQ tests are limited to reasoning and logic...
it has little to do with measuring creativity and the aesthetic sensibilities of an individual...

I'm just curious
