Researchers have determined in the largest online study on the intelligence quotient (IQ) that results from the test may not exactly show how smart someone is.
"We have shown categorically that you cannot sum up the difference between people in terms of one number, and that is really what is important here," Owen told the CBC.
You're in the 89th percentile. Ie 88 percent of people have a lower IQ than you do. Not really that bad, is it? Anyway, Gardner has 7 types of intelligence. Abstract reasoning is only one of them.

It takes at least 3 numbers to sum it up.
You're high average.
hey man, that hurts
IQ measure your ability to take an IQ test. That said, they have some general applicability. They just shouldn't be relied upon.
They're a pretty good indicator on how you'll do academically, tho that wasn't always the situation in my case.
