How "smart" do you think you are?

Your post sounds like an old Frank Sinatra song.

I know to which song you refer! Beautiful song, but sad.

So the results of your IQ test claimed that Jobs and Einstein had similar scores to you? I’d wonder about the validity of that test.

As far as Einstein goes, there's no evidence of him taking an IQ test. Definitely a genius though.

Results of tests are only as good as those who constructed the test, and the way they are administered IMO.

I have taken two supervised, actual, IQ test. First one was offered to me when I was 16, the 2nd one I was 24 or so. Both were very close to the same finding.
Internet based IQ test notoriously give higher numbers than valid testing. Sometimes by a LOT.
I doubt very much you are 134, that is very unlikely. However, if you scored 134 in a "decent" internet test, you are likely in the low 120s. Which is a very good place to be. That would place you in the top 6%.
For fun taking internet tests I have scored between 150-160. Quite Higher than actual.

I've never bothered with the free internet tests, but I was going through the process of intelligence and aptitude testing, as part of vocational testing after a disabling illness many years ago, and I scored scary high on logic problems. Now I wish I'd kept all the results of that testing. It would be interesting to know.

When I was 13, my parents were idiots who knew nothing. When I was 21, they were smart and knowledgeable. Amazing how much they improved in eight years!

When you are twenty, you are consumed with what people think about you. Always people pleasing. When you are 40 you suddenly grow a pair. What these people think of me makes no damn difference. When you are 60, you figure it out, those people never gave two shits about me anyway.

In the fifth grade I was in a combination class. An experiment, school took the top students in the 5th and 6th grade and put them together in a research class. It was damn awesome. It really was like skipping the fifth grade. And we took an IQ test. Afterwards, the teacher went over the test, told us all the correct answers.

Sixth grade, moved out of state. Much better school system, hit the ground running. Another IQ test, same IQ test. Well damn, I had been coached. Eighth grade, moved again, same IQ test, for the third damn time. Oh, I killed it. From that day forward, well suffice it to say the school spent thousands of dollars on me. Probably wasn't a good idea.

I.Q. Scores will vary and never be the same, but will stay in a certain category. It depends how you feel at the time of the test.
Mine taken from the 6th grade to the 12th, once, sometimes twice a year always showed in the above average category.
But I have beaten those in the genius category in academic competitions.

Paying for an online intelligence test should be an automatic deduction of 10 points.

The only problem with I.Q. evaluations is that we don't take them and their consequences seriously enough. The top 3% have the responsibility to protect the protect the rest of our brothers and sisters from the sociopaths and psychopaths whom we know perfectly well how to identify. The refusal to act upon what genuine intelligence would dictate leads to mankind's self-inflicted catastrophes.

No surprise there, since one will hardly find politicians that would excel in IQ tests.

IQ tests are more or less a mandatory part of an interview - asked for, by top tier consulting companies and their clients. And even those IQ tests are layered/segmented in regards to the actual required task performance. From own experience an IQ test for a HR, CFO, or Marketing Manager, is totally different from those of a COO, QS or CEO since they emphasis onto certain skills. aka specific related intelligence.

Therefore an Albert Einstein probably wouldn't achieve the required IQ score, if he had done an IQ test tailored to a HR manager or Marketing manager.

Other standard IQ test only show fields of strength, e.g. visualization, geometric abilities, memory, common knowledge, etc. that result in an average score. And one wouldn't know which field (mostly geometric abilities) was emphasized onto by the respective IQ test provider - especially in hindsight of making some $$ out of that business.

Never taken one. Never felt the need.

Neither have I, I was a kid.

Haha!! As if people will listen.
