190 apparently.
Online or official...?
154 officially and when older again 142 officially - online 136 to 145. I think I may have burnt out some brain cells a bit during the late teen years...
I get between 115 and high 120s when I do online tests. Unfortunately they focus on pure processing power and don't measure my incredible information osmosis power (my grade 9 science teacher used that word for my ability to just sit in class, read the textbook once and then score perfect on tests.)
190 is a crazy huge number. 109 is a perfectly respectable number. We don't seem to have many below averages here.
Soccerfreak: I'm pretty sure they don't add points for learning disorders; that'd kinda defeat the point, which is measuring the intelligence you have, not what you would have sans handicaps.
Ian - if the doctors didn't add points for possible learning disabilities or asperger's then your IQ score could be up to 20-30 points higher.
How many points would you add for AS, ADHD (inattentive), and severe executive functioning problems? You'd have to take these into account with me--I have all three.
I'm also a poor auditory learner and I'm very poor at Math, although I'm not sure if the Math problem is dyscalculia or something else.

Way to make the below averages--like me--feel worse! I scored 99 on my IQ test in 9th grade (I was 15 years old then.)

Just rub more salt in my wounds, why don't you?
I have no problem with you, I have a problem with your assumptions about intelligence as pertains to AS, and so forth. We're not a bunch of willing elitists, here.

It does make sense, though, about defeating the point of measuring it in the first place. As a more "pronounced" example, it would be kind of like measuring the IQ of a cognitively disabled person and then adding 50 more points to "balance out" the retardation.
*whoosh*
wha?
I scored below average! But thats because I got 3% in the working audio memory which brought it down A LOT ( I was 1 percentile). One of areas I got genius levels, one above average, one completely average. (I did 4 areas in total).
The highest you can get on an IQ test is 180, then you have to get a special separate test to get higher.
Teenagers score lower due to their brain physiology is changing. Alot of pruning of branches and stuff.
Guess there might be hope for a 140 for me then.
I don't see why you have to think your intelligence isn't anything special. I've said I scored 99 on an IQ test when I was 15 years old, and you think that "140 is not good enough"?
Please refrain from such twisted thinking. You only make the lesser-abled feel worse for their deficiencies.

How am I supposed to feel better about myself, then?
Community service...?
"I have low intellect and can't do much, but since I was made in God's image, I have every reason to be happy?"
Is it crap like that, which you want me to believe?

Only you know how to make you feel better about yourself. Community service might help. Back when I was in high school I did a community service program where I went to state parks and pulled invasive Scotch Broom from the ground so that native ecosystems could recover. It felt pretty good to me.
Certainly adding meaningless numbers to a puzzle score isn't going to make anyone feel better about themselves.

Correction. You have an IQ of 99. You have a nearly on-the-dot average intellect, meaning that you're cleverer than about half the people in the world, and that's including learning disabilities. That's not bad at all.
