@MehruneMath: The Stanford-Binet Scale measure the IQ up to 141. I'm sure the score of 197 is a raw score which is translated as an IQ of 131.

This is the version I have taken.

"The Interpretive Manual provides detailed guidelines for the effective interpretation of the fifth edition of the Stanford-Binet for a number of applications, including its use by psychologists active in school, clinical,and counseling settings. Case studies, profile analyses, and SB5 ScoringPro reports provide concrete examples of interpretation. The manual includes a series of research-based composite indexes as well as those that predict early risk for learning disabilities in children ages four to seven. It also introduces an Extended IQ scale that supports the calculation of Full Scale IQ scores as low as 10 and as high as 225. Click here for ordering information."

I was told by a practicing certified MD psychiatrist that I had an intelligence quotient of 197.
Perhaps you were thinking of another version of the Stanford Binet.

I've also taken the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales and scored a perfect 160.

not sure if they still use the same view but classic autism used to be considered a learning [intelectual] disability by the national autistic society [was given a leaflet by NAS support staff on classic autism years ago] because three quarters of us with it have some level of intelectual disability;the rest had an IQ in the high functioning up to gifted range.

but...the problem with classic autism is most of us have significant speech and language difficulties and as youngsters its not possible to use other tests for ID like functional assessments because all children are not independant and adult thinking by default.
this skews IQ results so its highly possible there is a lot less classic autists without ID than it appears.

It's probable. My source didn't specified the version of the test and was undated. Yours is the highest score that I've read about.

My last official IQ score was 125, but I had a language delay so I'm not sure if I'm closer to "classic" autism or Aspergers. For this reason, I am glad the two were merged in the DSM V.
