An eye queue is good for business providing they have something wrong with them.

As good as you make it.\nMy Aunt has a high IQ and is a member of Mensa, but you wouldn't know it.\nCan't hold a job, talks about how smart she is and yet is always strapped for cash and not happy about it.\nIQ is only an indicator for potential, not actual ability.\nhttp://www.geocities.com/rnseitz/Definition_of_IQ.html

IQ tests vary within a range, generally- I have scored anywhere from 160-172, but I dont think it's a very broad measure of intelligence.  It would be equivalent to measuring high jump and sprint speed as a way to guage athletic ability in basketball.  It is related to intelligence, and perhaps gives a measure of potential, but isnt the thing itself.  I beleive that social intelligence, the ability to understand others, communicate your ideas and feelings, and achieve social goals are a better measure of the most important kinds of intelligence-and these are not measured in an IQ test.  The second most important ability I would rate would be judgement and long-term planning, also not measured in IQ tests.  There are a number of disorders, including FAS, in which the person's measurable IQ seems to be little effected, but they have very poor judgement and social connection.  If IQ were that important, then the mose successful, powerful, and joyful people would be those with the highest IQs, and studies have shown that these people generally fall in the range of 120-140.

I think a phD or Msc is needed before your knowledge is good enough. Hope this helps.

I.Q. does NOT determin how smart a person is, all it determins is how EASILY they figure things out. If a person has an extordinairly high IQ but never tries then that person will be dumb, regardless. However, even people with really low I.Q.'s can still learn and acheive anything, they just have to work much hard to understand.\n\nWhen trying to determin if you can obtain a certain job do not evaluate your I.Q., but do evaluate your desire and work ethic. This is what determins how successful you will be.

You have superior intelligence - but you need to work on your self esteem.

Of course, high grades count !. Relevant others are other certifications, language proficiency, personal statement, and maybe IQ test as admission test. You also need to do well during interview session. Scholarships ?. Of course, but if you can afford it, you may leaved it behind but do consider for scholarships.

Well, by IQ standards, that is considered above average.  The IQ test is not a very good test.  It does not truly test your ability to think or to reason.  Just like the SAT's, your IQ can improve everytime you take it.  Try it again and see what you get.  I did that, and the first time I got a 137 and the second time I got a 143.  I have also taken an IQ test administered by a psychologist and I scored 140.  It was much longer than the online version.  It took about 2 hours.  I believe that the scoring changes depending on the version.  A 135 is very good though, just don't put too much stock in it.  By the way, the high school that I went to required an IQ of 131 to enter the gifted program.

I.Q. is not what you have to worry about. Worry more about E.Q they will explain you more what makes a good I.Q.\nVisit the following website:\nhttp://www.eintel.org\n\nThe EQ Factor\nNew brain research suggests that emotions, not IQ, may be the true measure of human intelligence\n\nBY NANCY GIBBS \nIt turns out that a scientist can see the future by watching four-year-olds interact with a marshmallow. The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torment. You can have this marshmallow right now, he says. But if you wait while I run an errand, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. And then he leaves.\nSome children grab for the treat the minute he's out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait. They cover their eyes; they put their heads down; they sing to themselves; they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their hard-earned marshmallows. And then, science waits for them to grow up.\nBy the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey of the children's parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds had the fortitude to hold out for the second marshmallow generally grew up to be better adjusted, more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and stubborn. They buckled under stress and shied away from challenges. And when some of the students in the two groups took the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the kids who had held out longer scored an average of 210 points higher.\nWhen we think of brilliance we see Einstein, deep-eyed, woolly haired, a thinking machine with skin and mismatched socks. High achievers, we imagine, were wired for greatness from birth. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to ignite in some people and dim in others. This is where the marshmallows come in. It seems that the ability to delay gratification is a master skill, a triumph of the reasoning brain over the impulsive one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesn't show up on an IQ test.\nFor most of this century, scientists have worshipped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets. But cognitive theory could simply not explain the questions we wonder about most: why some people just seem to have a gift for living well; why the smartest kid in the class will probably not end up the richest; why we like some people virtually on sight and distrust others; why some people remain buoyant in the face of troubles that would sink a less resilient soul. What qualities of the mind or spirit, in short, determine who succeeds?\nThe phrase "emotional intelligence" was coined by Yale psychologist Peter Salovey and the University of New Hampshire's John Mayer five years ago to describe qualities like understanding one's own feelings, empathy for the feelings of others and "the regulation of emotion in a way that enhances living." Their notion is about to bound into the national conversation, handily shortened to EQ, thanks to a new book, Emotional Intelligence (Bantam; $23.95) by Daniel Goleman. Goleman, a Harvard psychology Ph.D. and a New York Times science writer with a gift for making even the chewiest scientific theories digestible to lay readers, has brought together a decade's worth of behavioral research into how the mind processes feelings. His goal, he announces on the cover, is to redefine what it means to be smart. His thesis: when it comes to predicting people's success, brainpower as measured by IQ and standardized achievement tests may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character" before the word began to sound quaint

IQ tests are a bunch of crap and don't reflect in any way how successful someone will be, whether they will be a good lover or parent, or whether you will acheive a certain level of education.  It is interesting though that most serial killers have a high IQ.  I think the biggest thing to come from a high IQ is over thinking and superiority issues.

I am glad to hear that you and everyone in your family have "great high IQs". I am wondering why you did not use your great high IQ to learn how to write better and communicate better.\n\nYou have finished high school and are working someplace. You have a College fund. Where did you get the fund? How large is it? Why must you wait two years to buy a townhouse. With your great high IQ, you should be able to buy one immediately and give your college fund to someone who can use it.\n\nIt is true that some people (for example Bill Gates) never finished college and have been highly successful, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Your great high IQ only measures your ability to learn and absorb information: it does not measure how smart you are or how much you know. This comes from studying in high school and colleges. \n\nIf you are satisfied to be a Welder that makes a fairly good wage, then do so. Waste you "great high IQ". You can never be a Doctor, or a Lawyer, or a College Professor, or a School Teacher, or a Computer Scientist, or a clergyman, or countless other professions that can allow you to make significant contributions to our society.\n\nSet your goals a little higher than having a townhouse.

It could be difficult if your IQ is below 70.  Guaranteed, somewhere, there is a college for you, even if it's junior college (glorified 8th grade).

IQ tests are a good measure of overall intelligence, but it is not worth getting "hung up" over a score lower than average. Naturally we are all skilled in different areas, and a good IQ test will test you on all of these. Often people who are good at the literature based questions are not so strong on mathematical ones and vice versa. Also many online IQ tests copy questions, so people can become used to the types of questions they will answer. This isnt therefore testing IQ, but memory!!\n\nPersonally my IQ is 145, which is considered high, but I dont think this makes me any more intelligent than those with a lower score. \n\nI dont think intelligence can be measured - and I find the need to measure children on an IQ level quite disturbing.\n\nWhat does everyone else think?

Everything else being equal, someone with high emotional intelligence will probably be more successful.\n\nHere's an interesting bit from the Utne Reader:\n\n"Emotional intelligence gives you a competitive edge. Even at Bell Labs, where everyone is smart, studies find that the most valued and productive engineers are those with the traits of emotional intelligence -- not necessarily the highest IQ. Having great intellectual abilities may make you a superb fiscal analyst or legal scholar, but a highly developed emotional intelligence will make you a candidate for CEO or a brilliant trial lawyer."\n\nIt makes sense. If you are going to be successful, you have to be able to motivate people or convince people to get behind your idea. That's hard to do if you cannot connect with people and have weak social skills.\n\nCheck out the link below to take the EQ test:\n\nhttp://www.utne.com/interact/test_iq.html

Doesn't really. A persons IQ is fairly constant, basically almost the same throughout its entire life. It is only our level of education that changes. \nThe more educated people a country has the more productive it becomes. \nEconomy and politics are more or less the same thing nowdays. Without a well-trained work force with a high level of education a country cannot be competitive on the global market.
