Well, considering there's no standard for IQ tests, it's really a moot point anyways.

I once took one of the "big three" of IQ tests, the California one, if I recall correctly, but I can remember its exact name..Stanford-something...I think. This was 20 years ago, after all.

After three days and four tests, I was judged to have an IQ of 175.

Okay, so I understand a lot of what I read and can keep up with some pretty esoteric cosmological and metaphysical philosophies...

...but it ain't never put a dime in my pocket or made my life any easier, except for taking tests, and I absolutely abhor any math more complex than long division.

I'd argue that the true measure of high intelligence are the people who are smart enough to be happy with their lives, no matter how great or small.
