An IQ score of 130 isn't just "smart". It puts you in the top 2.3% of the population — exactly two standard deviations above the average. It's the threshold for Mensa, the cutoff for "highly gifted" classification, and a number most people will never personally experience.
On the standard bell curve (mean 100, SD 15), a score of 130 means:

Self-assessment is unreliable — high-IQ adults often underestimate their cognitive ability because they're surrounded by other capable people. The only honest way to know is a properly normed test. The free 25-question test at quizvo.com samples cognitive domains used by clinical batteries and scores against population norms.
