I took an IQ test at geo-cities and I'm not sure if it's good or bad.

While those i.q. tests are not 'reliable' it is unlikely to be off 40 or 50 points.
Different i.q. tests are scored somewhat differently. But, no matter, you have high intellectual potential. With that and a quarter, you can park in front of the liquor store for 15 minutes. (That was a Mensa joke.)
We live in a society where people with strong physical skills are treated as Gods, and people with high intellectual potential are vilified and cursed. Go figure.
I was an officer of Mensa from 1978 till 1983. I produced the newsletter for our local. My i.q. was almost exactly the same as yours, and it was the second highest on Fort Lewis, of 20,000 men.
You do NOT need to feel an obligation to do wonderful things for the world because you have a high i.q. That is a mistake some people make.
However, you do have a RIGHT to use that i.q. to accomplish reasonable personal goals, IF YOU WISH.
Mensa really does very little. It is mostly a social club for people, but especially high i.q. women, who normally have no intellectual peers to socialize with.
The main achievement most members reached was to reasses their lives, and often went back for more schooling once they realized they were not working to their potential.
So, if there is some hard, hard career in life you want, but fear you can't do it, use this i.q. as a motivator to develop your mind, and work for your ideal. Things like being a doctor -- or engineer if your i.q. is high on math.
We live in a very egalitarian society, so most people think it's better you not think you are smarter than others. The problem is, you are smarter than others, so sit your goals higher IF YOU WISH.
Do be careful not to let your hormones control your life. Find your future first.

An IQ of 155 is very high for any age. This would mean that 99.99% of the population would score below you. That being said, online IQ tests are notoriously inaccurate. I would say that if you are interested in having your IQ tested, visit a doctoral level psychologist who is authorized to provide such testing. The WISC-IV (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th Edition) takes roughly 1 - 1 1/2 hours to complete, and it is the absolute most accurate IQ test that is available.

An IQ of 155 for anyone is high; the average IQ is 100.

I my self have an IQ of 143 (tested by psychologist) vs. 108 on line . the on line tests tend to be rather narrow in subject out of 140 questions ,the test i took had 127 questions that required math skills the remaining 23 being word association.
so in reality i took a math test not an IQ test
in reality if i had a mind also geared to math and spelling i would in fact be a genius
an IQ test should be based on the fallowing: math ,reading and comprehension/word association,science,history,language ,general knowledge , spelling and logic

On a real IQ test thats good. On an online IQ test that's probably average or below average.
IQ tests are suppose take age into account.
IQ test are will test your cognitive ability, not you knowledge. Throughout your life your IQ should always be the same.

That test is not accurate. You may be smart, and may have an IQ that actually is that high, but that can only be determined by a real IQ test. A real IQ test would be administered by a school psychologist or counselor.

an IQ is definately high for a 13 year old. Jim Morrison of the door had an IQ of 158 and he was an adult so in answer to your question yes that is high.

Yes, and IQ of 155 is high for a person of any age. But please be aware that IQ testing of any form can/is inaccurate, especially if you are a person of a different culture, race, or socio-economic status other than Upper/Middle Class White Male/Female.

If it's an accurate test, 155 is very high. You're talking the top couple tenths of a percent there. However, the question is whether the test is accurate.
