"Genius Tests" IQ Test

This is a site I just took a 30 minute IQ test on. I scored a 42, which it equated to an IQ of 135 or above (99th percentile, apparently). I personally find that very hard to believe - I do pretty well in school and all but I don't really think I'm some sort of genius. Thought it would be cool if others took the same test and shared their results to see if it was really legitimate or if it's just handing out IQs of 130+.
 
Apparently I scored 37 which is the 98% percentile. I do very well in school but some of these questions made my brain almost overload, so I'm not sure how accurate this site is but if I actually have an IQ of 135 that's fine by me :)
 
I took it and got a 45, which is 135+ as well. However, I took it again and only answered half of them correctly and got a 24, which is the 62nd percentile and equates to an IQ of 105. I think the test itself might be a little inconsistent because there are a variety of questions a person could get at any one time. When I took it the second time, a few of the questions I got were the same as the first time I took it, but some were different. So, some people might get "easier" questions while others get "harder" ones, which would make it seem like their theoretical IQ is higher or lower than it actually is. The test isn't exactly uniform for each person who takes it, so I'm not sure just how accurate it actually is. It was super fun, though. Several of the questions really made me think, lol. And if anyone is considering taking the longer version of the quiz but doesn't have 30 mins, you can probably finish it in 15-20 mins. Thanks for the link! :)
