    I highly doubt that's your actual IQ, those online tests aren't at all accurate. I took an actual one for school one time and got 130 but took an online one and got about 98. To be completely honest, I don't even think that IQ tests are even a good measure of intelligence since I wouldn't consider myself especially smart or anything. Besides, different people have different things that the excel in and there are different kinds of intelligences. 

    Tdlr: Online IQ tests aren't accurate, don't let it get you down

    Depends on the country you are from.     Don't pay any attention to IQ tests, they have no bearing on how much money you will make or how popular you will be.

    Those are GARBAGE!! All they are on the internet for is to make you buy what they are advertizing. Those aren't even scored by a professional. They are just a computer program. Don't bother with them anymore.

    Online IQ tests should be considered as entertainment only.  Like astrology.

    IQ tests are highly weighted against the average person. I've never seen one ask about theories in achieving high vacuums in an industrial environment, or theories of electric motor flux fields. IE: if you haven't studied  the exact subjects the test is weighted on you'll do bad, it's like asking a English major about skyscraper foundations, many people get confused about geometrical patterns as they are not natural

    No, but online tests are notoriously inaccurate.
