Be warned that not all IQ tests are normed equally so
you cannot always do a direct comparison from one to
another especially for high scoring folks who will
tend to "top out" the tests designed for the average.
Then if you use a test designed for high scorers you
will get another number for the same person quite
often.
It really might be best to do it in "standard deviations"
above the norm since this comes close to equate the various
tests.
It's a generally bad idea to tell anyone your IQ score if
it's above the usual norms.
If they believe you they will resent you and if they don't
then you are considered a liar. <grin>
