Measuring it against others of your own age will be accurate. I think the test itself is the same, but the scoring is different.
The higher score (up to 230), is because if for example you took the test and I took the test, and we got the same number of answers right in the same time, you would have a higher IQ than I would due to me being older, basically. Good job smartie!
