I think people should stop relying on online IQ tests, they're pretty flawed. Frankly, I don't see how anybody could see them as accurate. 100 is average and everybody keeps saying 'I'm above average'.... That's just silly. If we're all 'above average' than average would change because average reflects the education level of the general population. Sorry to break the news, but most of the people who think they're above average have been lied to. I'm sure I'm average, which I'm fine with, as the IQ test is only one way of measuring intelligence.
They weren't lied to about their iq, they simply lied about their own iq to look smarter. You need to take a proper state test though, that's how i found out that i'm supposedly very bright. You cannot use some Internet test crap to get measured.
That's fair to say, although, I think some may have been naive. You're right, though, most people try to exaggerate their achievements. I completely agree about the state test. Also, I actually believe your being above average.
What's your IQ?

Mine is 118, doesn't sound like much but that's higher than 88% of the population will score.
Almost everybody scores between 92 and 110. But if we are to go on poll results we have a whole class of geniuses! And twelve Steven Hawkings!
