I don't think IQ's really matter that much, it's just 'potential' and doesn't actually say much about how smart you genuinely are.
My IQ is 136 and I've gotten exactly the same score no matter how many times or types of tests I've taken. -heh- I guess that might mean that's what it ought to be. Nothing special, I'm no Einstein but at least it's not like Forrest Gump either.
Supposedly there are different types of intelligence involving numeracy, literacy, spatial relationships, physical skills and so on (I have NO idea what the categories are - I'm guessing here).

How did we go from Supie/Brainy slash to IQs? O_o;;
Honostly I have no idea what my IQ is. I do know that by 3rd grade I was reading and writing at a 2nd year college level.

I believe that to be very true. The most intelligent people out there can be very disorganized and quite lacking in common sense. It's also possible to be very smart and yet very absent-minded. And I once had a professor in college tell me that artists are intelligent in their own way; we may be really horrible at math or science, but we might understand creative concepts better than most, as well as be more sensitive to things like color, shape, composition and spacial depth on 2D and 3D levels. (And I seriously cannot do math beyond the four basic functions to save my life, yet I supposedly have an IQ in the 120's.)
