*I took the free IQ tests here>>> https://www.123test.com/iq-test/
It says it estimates my IQ to lie within a range of 117 to 133
So hmm lemme see how to interpret them numbersAnd keep in mind this was only an 8 question free IQ test. For an accurate estimate I have to purchase the more elaborate IQ test. But anyway here's the number breakdown for all those interested:

What Different IQ Scores Mean
Low IQ & Mental Retardation
5% of people have an IQ under 70 and this is generally considered as the benchmark for "mental retardation", a condition of limited mental ability in that it produces difficulty in adapting to the demands of life.
Severity of mental retardation can be broken into 4 levels:
50-70 - Mild mental retardation (85%)
35-50 - Moderate mental retardation (10%)
20-35 - Severe mental retardation (4%)
IQ < 20 - Profound mental retardation (1%)
High IQ & Genius IQ
Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145, representing ~.25% of the population (1 in 400). Here's a rough guide:
115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students)
125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)
135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)
145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors)
155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)
165-179 - High genius
180-200 - Highest genius
>200 - "Unmeasurable genius"
More notes on High IQ and Genius IQ:
Einstein was considered to "only" have an IQ of about 160.
Mensa is a society for people with high IQ, in the top 2% (1 in 50).
