And if that didn't make sense to you I can recommend learning some statistics - it's really helpful. Also, no level of IQ is proof that you are a genius. Most IQ tests are extremely limited, for practical reasons, and none of them measure your intelligence with good validity. That concept is simply too wide to be measured reliably and validly. At least for the present. IQ is a score that is related to (operationalized) intelligence, it is not intelligence.

I agree with this. I tested at 140, my sister tested low normal. She is a highly successful curator at a prominent museum where I'm a hot mess that can never finish what I start. I'm an unemployed (ATM) woman who loses her phone in the house half a dozen times a day. I don't know about the rest of you hearing about "if you could only live up to you potential" spiel... But I have so many times. It's hard for me to have that "stick-to-it-ness", which I think helps people live productive lives.
It can't test everything like motivation, common sense, intuitiveness...
