I realised that
182 is going to be high-functioning Aspergers, to be honest.

I have never tested mine.
Oddly, I have no desire to.

Depends how much wine you've drank
I'd say you're probably averaging out at not a complete mong though :p

I only know mine at the age of 10
because the 11+ is a direct IQ test.

I suspect years of alcohol abuse have lowered it somewhat.

I once managed to get a score of 163 on an online thing
I ran to Mensa and they told me that was impossible as the scale only goes to 161

They're talking arse
depends on the test used of course, but the standard Stanford-Binet scale techincally has no limit, but a practical limit of about 200. anything above 164 is the technical definition of genius.

I've just realised you got 163
SO CLOSE, badge. SO CLOSE.

I think it's reckoned statistically
that the highest IQ person living must be about 195-200.

But you can prove anything with statistics. Incidentally, I googled, you're correct, MENSA don't record IQs over 161. Not that you can't have one, but 161 is their "max" so you are recorded as 161 or over. No idea why.

i am guessing
that the founder/chairman has an iq of 161

I think it's because IQs are based on a standard distribution, and standard distributions are inaccurate outside 3 standard deviations, and the stadard deviation of the IQ distribution is about 15, so an IQ test is only really accurate between 55 and 145.

fucking hell, I could be in my pants drinking G&T and I'm at work debating the SD of an IQ test? I'm going to kill myself.
