Hah, I took this test again and my IQ went up 7 points
Moral: I should edit my posts more often
Yes, IQ tests aren't the best; they have flaws. Supposedly Marilyn vos Savant scored highest with two hundred and something and touts herself as "the smartest person in the world"? I've read her column a few times (she's the smartest person in the world and thinks the best use of her time is to write a column in the newspaper where she solves puzzles people give her?) and she doesn't impress me at all.
Just for fun, though, here's a Swedish site (in English) about the estimated IQs of the greatest geniuses:

I thought it was kind of amusing
Edit: This test has just lost all credibility with me: I rethought a few answers, resent it twice, and my IQ has not only jumped a few points each time but I've been labelled as a "Visionary Philosopher," "Visual Mathematician," and "Precision Processor."
Come on!! Make up your minds, which one?
