What is this IQ classification in numbers?

Post Reply New Topic

Before I start, I'd like to say I'm living proof that a high IQ does not necessarily benefit a person in life, and that I do not 'feel' as smart as I supposedly am. I don't remember the tests I took, except that there were a lot of them and I was very highly gifted.

I think giftedness is classified as follows, I could be wrong:

Gifted (Moderately)
Highly Gifted
Very Highly Gifted
Exceptionally Gifted
Profoundly Gifted

What in the world is a very highly gifted intelligence in numbers?

The only reference I could find to "very gifted" on the wiki page said an IQ between 145-160. I googled it too and learned it refers to a 140+ or 148+ IQ. Wow. I didn't know I was that smart....
