I don't have time to take the test right now (gotta leave for a quick trip to FL) but I thought a score of 100 is the average or mean score, not the median. Can anyone clarify?

I agree with many of the observations here that IQ is just one tool to gather info about oneself and just one on-line test means little or nothing. While in college, I took a bunch of the standardized tests while learning how to administer them and I wan't really impressed with the results, i.e. we all pretty much know already about where we land on the bell curve.
Common sense (which ain't so common!) and the so-called emotional IQ, do factor into all this self-assessment.
