How good is that?

My IQ is 148, courtesy of testcafe.com, and I am told the average is anywhere from 80 - 120. 146 is in the gifted range, not genius but definately smart. BTW...I really don't think my IQ is 148. My counselor in 4th grade made me take a real IQ test because I played fill-in-the-dots on my ISTEP exam and they thought I was....ummm....slow. I ended up scoring a 132 and I'm told that your IQ doesn't change much as you mature.
They also judge different areas on your IQ test. I have the unique ability to spot patterns and work out problems in my head but I am way below average on remembering things I see. I have to read information over and over again before I can remember it. I have ADD to blame for that. haha

If that is based on a standard Stanford-Benet scale that is in the range of gifted persons. Much higher than the average IQs of the US considered to 98-100 and UK at 100.
There are other IQ scales in which your IQ could have a different meaning.
On the Stanford-Binet scale traditionally 160 has been consider the point of genius. The IQ is not necessarily your level of knowledge, but instead your ability to analyse and learn.
I was very happy with my IQ at 159 and pleased when my first wife had a 142. Then my current wife took an IQ test and scored a 164 and made me angry. So I guess IQ does not denote maturity either, :-)
You have a lot of potential.

If you had a 146 IQ you would already know the answer to that question.

That's ok it's the same as mine and i'm nearly out the range.
i''m probably younger than u but it's what our minds are capable of not what they can do.
i learned that very early in life because my family and friends thought i had a.d.d.'
then i took a iq test a couple of days a go and i was 146.
p.s. i didn't learn my vowels till 4th grade!!

I had mine tested many years ago at school - it was 162, they all got very excited and I was encouraged to join Mensa. I've done a few online tests and it comes out high. I am reasonably intelligent but in no way a genius, I'm just very good at logic and word puzzles, I can't say it's furthered my career in any way.

Who cares, just because you can answer a lot of technical or scientific questions in a certain amount of time does not mean a thing to me, my brother is a member of MENSA, but that does not make him a better person and he hasn't got a clue how to fix any thing around the house. If you are clever or intelligent then use it to help yourself and others if possible, just having a gift is not enough you have to know what to do with it.

The big question is how are you going to use it????
You have the ability, and you know that. Good things are now expected from you. The college admissions staff will also know that when you apply. You will need the grades to back it up.
Ask me how I know? On second thought don't.
There will always be people smarter and dumber than you are, good luck.

Very good - but do remember it is not a guide to intelligence or mental welbeing. Yes I know it can be used as a guide and to help but basically it tells you what the brain is capable off not how well it has been taught
