IQ does not remain relatively stable. It can fluxuate as much as 20 points in any given sitting. 20 on 100 is a pretty big fluxuation, wouldn't you agree?

The results vary mostly based on the type of test. I've taken a few, and they seem to measure a wide variety of things. Some are verbal, some are logical reasoning, some are spatial, some measure your ability to create/compare relationships. The lowest I've ever scored was about 115. But as a child in grade school, I scored 149. As an adult, about 40 yrs old, I scored 149 again. This was my best.
