Actually liquid intelligence peaks at age 11/12 apparently. So most people test the same their entire life. The tests change depending on your age to be able to predict more accurately, but you're IQ does not slowly increase, only your "crystallized" intelligence and knowledge does.
I'd agree with that. When I could understand the questions (some of the tests I took were American and it was difficult to pick the "odd one out" when I didn't know what any of the things were), I tested highish from 11 onwards. I peaked at 18 (when I took the tests under the influence of a lot of caffeine). Despite a flirtation with alcohol, my scores haven't really gone down, but remained around the level when I'm decaffeinated. I presume, with caffeine, I'd still test up to my highest level.
What is your IQ rating?

It was 125 when I was 14... I'm guessing it's probably around the 140 mark now, possibly higher.

Caffeine, eh? That's very cool...
