I wouldn't consider IQ a 'fact' anyway. It varies with age so even if you take the same test chances are it won't be accurate after a period of time. A little funny that people who are arguing about their proposed IQ don't know what the term really means.
Also, on an unrelated note, I think it's sort of comical that while only having 186 hits, this thread is already ~60 posts deep. That is a much higher ratio compared to threads that don't involve telling people how smart or cool you are.

Whether or not IQ tests are an accurate measure of intelligence is open to debate. It is difficult to define exactly what constitutes intelligence; it may be the case that IQ scores represent a very specific type of intelligence.
