An IQ score of 140 is considered near-genius or genius level and places you in the top 0.25% (99.75 percentile) of the population.



Actually 137 if test was accurate, I still don't do well with leet code whiteboarding though, shrugs.


Maybe you just need to find something you enjoy doing, programming might not be "it"?

Or do you do well solving the problems on your own and just have trouble when being interviewed?


The latter, take home projects I do well on (projects, not HackerRank quizzes)


That's a believable score around here. There are over 8 million Americans with that score (assuming OP is American) and this place probably has a disproportionate number of high-IQ people posting.
