I got a 154 VCI and 150 PRI, and then, because I have ADHD, I got 100 WMI and 105 PSI. My overall IQ (FSIQ) ended up being 132 when you combine the composite scores and a few other tests. (Dunno which ones. I did a full IQ test that took 2 days... It was the WAIS-IV.)
I earned a high score on the VCI because I got lucky and knew the definitions and all the words. Otherwise, I think I would have scored maybe in the 120 range.
Aaaanyway, you're probably a very high functioning person, and no doubt you're smart.
I have a Master's and I can hold down a 9-5 job, so I would consider myself high functioning.
There are some very smart people on this forum, but they aren't high functioning because their symptoms are too debilitating. However, it makes a lot of sense. Bipolar exists on a spectrum... Some will have it more severe than others.
Also (in general), I think that IQ tests only give you an approximation of intelligence. That is, they give you an idea of how smart someone is, but remember: in order to obtain your IQ, you need to take a test. Good test takers will perform better than poor test takers, so some people's IQs may be artificially inflated or artificially deflated. For example, I think Icare Dixit's IQ probably underestimates his intelligence... because he's technically "borderline" for mental retardation, but he's a lot smarter than that
