An IQ rating doesn't tell you very much apart from that you are good at making IQ tests.
As said before, it only measures a very small part of the spectrum we call intelligence, mostly logic follow ups with figures is tested, but that is already said before.
Also, if you've done a few IQ test you will know the trick and become more "intelligent"! My IQ improved from 113 (IQtestdeluxe) to 130 (Mensa) to 147 (mensa)to give an example.
I think the first one is the more reliable one, einstein had only 160 after all.
Keep in mind that USA use different standards when it comes to IQ, like they do for length, weight, temperature etc.

Interesting, Geckomlis. "Real" intelligence definitely has many forms.

This is a very interesting read. I especially enjoyed reading about the alternative means they developed to access the different areas of intelligence. In addition, the observations they presented via the case studies were thought provoking to say the least.
