We had similar data on the survey I ran (which I still need to write up the results of). I don’t know that the numbers past 140 are intelligence-indicative, but I suspect people really did get their reported scores on IQ tests.
Also, in the responses to my survey, people who said they were from the USA were no more or less likely than people who said they weren’t to report scores over 140. Which argues against regional variation in what IQ tests mean. Although I don’t know how consistent the meaning is of IQ tests within the USA; anyone have knowledge, here?

Did you ever write up your results? They would make a valuable addition to the historical data.
