Since each 15 points is one standard deviation, there is (pretty much by definition) one person in existence with an IQ above 194. I'm glad to know he may be among us :shhh:

I score high on the IQ tests which gives me little faith in them.

Lol, yeah, the tests online are just for entertainment. @Alaskan, the other scary aspect to consider, is that if you are actually that smart... boy are people dumb.
I did have a longer test done in college, lasted several hours, and placed me at 144, but it's worth noting I was under the influence of several medications at the time. Lots of pattern recognition, and recall testing. I was asked, (almost stalked
) to retake it, once off of medications, but never did.
The test was administered by a graduate student working on her doctorate, but was supervised by a professor. According to professor, based on the types of medications I was taking (tricyclic antidepressant, some other antidepressant, and two kinds of sedative/anxiety medications), my score would likely have been much higher if I was clear headed. I did actually fall asleep during one of the recall tasks, so that probably didn't help.
Based on what I know of myself, I can say with certainty 194, or above is definitely outside my mental capacity.
Now... what kind of a Star Wars character am I? Hmm...
