I do not know too many people who take part in multi hour IQ tests past the age of 10. I think my last one was at 8 and it was required to test eligibility for the "gifted" program I was in in elementary and middle school. Not even really sure how effective these tests are at determining real intelligence.

Shouldnt change too much with time. That said when i was young i was super fukking sharp. Now, sawzall.
Chutzpah quotient would indicate net worth. That is a good part of why i make a decent amount. Millionaire small biz owners "living the american dream" typically have a lot of chutzpah and the anility to endure failire.

age is taken into account. old methods used to compare age to "mental age" and new methods compare intelligence to people of similar age, 100 being "average" and each standard deviation from average being 15 points.

130 is actually pretty damn intelligent. Means that given a group of fifty people you are probably more intelligent than all of them.
Remember that 100 is the dead nuts average.

I took one to examine for brain damage after "severe" drug usage. One I got 120, another, 145. The doctor estimated, based on my drug use, that I have at best 75% brain function (meaning the rest is "dead" for the time being, waiting to be repaired over the next few decades).
The tests taken online are NOTHING like a real IQ test. Time is not a factor in most of the tests, and questions often are presented as brain teasers. Memory and spacial reasoning are not tested.
130 average with a cooked brain? I can live with that. FWIW: the US average is just below 100. The world average is supposed to be 100. The 100 figure is constantly recalculated to compensate for increasing rates of knowledge related to age. A 100 50 years ago would below 100 today. Not to say that they were not as smart back then, just that their knowledge/age ratio is different than the current ratio.

The test I linked earlier begins with spatial reasoning problems, and moves into memory and logic questions. In total, 57 questions to be answered in a 30 minute time period. I do agree that a 30 minute online test is not going to be as accurate as a proctored, multi-hour test.
I'm not sure the severe drug use issue really is one, but who knows. I tested 135 in 6th grade (30 years ago), and in the interim have used LSD 100+ times, and smoked nearly my weight in marijuana.
