I agree with Sara, they only show that you can do IQ tests.
They are culturally biased and of questionable worth.
Read this
(1) An IQ of 50 or below. This is the threshold below which most adults cannot cope outside of an institution. They can typically be taught to read at a 3rd or 4th grade level. However, they cannot normally function in the customary classroom setting, and they require special training programs.
(2) An IQ between 50 and 75. At this level of intelligence, they generally cannot complete elementary school. Most adults will need smarter help in coping with the world.
(3) An IQ between 75 and 105. Children in this IQ range are not generally able to complete a college prep course in high school.
(4) An IQ between 105 and 115. May graduate from college but generally, not with grades that would qualify them for graduate school.
(5) An IQ above 115. No restrictions.
For IQs in these ranges, the influence of IQ upon socioeconomic status is dramatic. 31% of those with IQs below 75 were on welfare, compared with 8% of those in the 90 to 110 IQ interval, and 0% in those with IQs above 125. 55% of mothers with IQs below 75 went on welfare after the birth of the first child, compared with 12% of those with IQs between 90 and 110, and 1% of those with IQs above 125. Income is highly dependent upon IQ up to an IQ-level of about 125.

I think I'll throw in with the two of you.
As a high-school senior, I tested at 184.
About four years later, after suffering a severe skull fracture and not knowing it (that's another story), I was tested at a Dr.'s request on a purely exploratory basis and scored 168.
It was a far different test, the product of one of the original "corrective" efforts aimed at helping minorities.
The doctor wanted, I believe, to see if there were lasting effects from my injury; he said the results were inconclusive-however I can definitely attest to a radical degradation in my ability to do high maths.
I count it a good day when can I do percentages in my head in aid of my wife's efforts to save money at the mall.
In essence, I am a mere mental shadow of my former self.
