Mensa is top 2%. Did you take an official, timed exam that said you are in the top 2%? I did. It was fairly easy, and I'm probably in the top 1024 on the planet in IQ.
Different approved tests give reliably different scores. The two major ones used by head shrinkers give results over ten points different for the same individual.

Have no reason to doubt it, but would love to see attribution.
Relatedly (and only from memory -- sorry no links), I recall reading that the same person taking the same test but on different days (unsure of time separation) can also vary just as much.
Check mensa's site. They list two different professionally administered tests last I looked and give different minimum scores for each for this reason. You can follow the rabbit hole as far as you like from there.

My IQ is > 132--mensa didn't give a value, just a pass. Your IQ is unknown until you take a test. No offense.

Your current tests are much weaker than those in 1988 then.
160 was a valuation for a complete admission test, in this country, in 80's.
