I’ve always read that Einstein’s IQ was only like 143, which is in the top 1-2%, but not brilliant. So, how accurate are these IQ tests?

My parents hid my IQ from me growing up so I wouldn’t get arrogant. Picked on a lot, I just assumed I was intellectually average and let the kids who could regurgitate information get all the praise for being smart. I wish they would have let me know before I had to figure it out on my own.
