> [@Harv24jg](#): > > IQ\> 150. Are you in Mensa? Which test did you score the 150? Some have a very large standard deviation so the scores look impressive. I scored a 148 on the Stanford-Binet a bunch of years ago; however, my 138 on the California Test of Mental Maturity was actually higher percentile-wise. I normally score at or above the 98th percentile on IQ tests. This means that I am very, very good at taking IQ tests. Considering some of the stupid things that I’ve done over the years, I don’t think it means much more than that. 😃 ---
