My IQ has been measured at 160. I think that I'm good at taking tests... :-)
I joined MENSA out of curiosity, and observed that the members appeared to be no more uniform in their thought patterns or methods than any other group of people I'd known. A common trait in the group was the love of puns, but I don't make any conclusions from this. Many members in the group were engineers and "computer types," which is what one might expect in the SF Bay Area (Silicon Valley being a part of that area).
My daughter's IQ is probably higher than my own. Although we are remarkably similar in many ways, I must say that she amazes me every time I talk to her.
The older I get, the more I value common sense, which certainly does not always correlate to high IQ.
