Your IQ value is artificial, meaningless and does not matter, to anyone, whatsoever. This includes yourself. CMV

I believe IQ values are pointless and empty. With all the different potential fields and mental skills and capabilities, trying to combine them into one statistic is impossible, and thus any high (or low) IQ score someone might get in an "intelligence exam" is meaningless. 

**"But some people are objectively smarter than others"** yes that's true, obviously gifted people and geniuses are real and can objectively be pointed out as more talented than most people *in some areas,* but not all. What I'm saying is that trying to reduce all of a person's skillsets into one standardized generalized comparable single one-size-fits-all numerical value is impossible. It is trying to measure the immeasurable. 

Also, the lack of a world standard for these tests make them all relative anyway and not at all objective, statistical or scientific.

Edit: to clarify my meaning further, I mean that saying "I am smart because a test that I took told me my BrainPower^tm is 156" is ludicrous and childish.

When you attempt to turn something qualitative into a quantitative value, you are bound to have some degree of error. However, higher iq is correlated with higher intelligence, and lower iq with lower intelligence. A mentally retarded person will, on average, have a lower iq than a meantally healthy individual. A nuclear physicist will usually have a higher iq than Mr Joe Average.

Sure, it's not perfect, but it definitely isn't a meaningless value.
