One of the Playboy bunnies was recently quoted as saying she thought her IQ was "somewhere around 500"
I loved that.......... it was too hilarious.

My algebra teacher in 9th grade did one with our whole class. I scored 125, and I was the highest girl in the class. There was a boy who scored higher.
I did another one about two years ago, and was 125. I guess it stays the same.
My grandson, at age 7, was given one to qualify for a special school, and scored 144, which put him in the category of "extremely gifted". Of course we all knew that.
I have a daughter in law who scored 160 when she was a child, and was in a class for kids with special needs (the lower catergories). Her parents knew she was really smart and shouldn't be in that class, and had her tested. She has dyslexia and they lived in a small, backward town. She is extremely smart, but has many autistic traits, Aspberger's syndrome. 20 years ago, the schools couldn't handle it. She graduated from college, with very high grades and is now a medical lab technician.

I never did a formal test, but online I've gotten scores that ranged between 112 and 130.

I had a formal test done about 8 years ago. The psychologist didn't want to tell me the numbers outcome and he wasn't working for me, he was working for the disability insurance company. Well, I pestered it outta him. "Low 140's". The online tests are subjective to education and I get around 125. The tests I took were based on physical objects and blocks and designs on flash cards. Nothing involving educational skills like math logic, etc.

A "high" IQ is no indicator that you are emotionally, morally, ethically, or spiritually equipped for daily life.
I've had the privledge of knowing some absolute geniouses! IQ's in the 180's and higher. Most were blithering idiots when it came to anything practical.

wow! lots o' 'mart people here at JWD...of course! the GB always knew the anti-christ would be really smart, so that's why they discouraged higher learning! (??)
this is rather humorous:
Half of the population have IQ’s of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ’s and 25% have lower IQ’s:

Apparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation. In their book, Know Your Child’s IQ, Glen Wilson and Diana Grylls outline occupations typical of various IQ levels:
140
Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.
130
Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)
120
School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.
110
Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians.
100+
Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers.
100-
Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers.
90
Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters.
