IMO iq gives you a score on how good you are at logical thinking and other things like that, most of the questions in the iq test id did were lateral thinking problems that were quite hard, however ( being a lateral thinker ) i did quite well.
(score was 133)

lol see if anyone can get this question that was in the test....i got this one wrong.

a man is comeing down a mountain, he had almost reached the bottom when he slipped and fell to the top again. how is this possible?

he did not have jet packs.
he was trying to get to the bottom.
no exterior forces were used.

i dont see how questions like these can determine how smart you are, rather how weird you think.
