oh, but what is an iq

When I took the IQ test a few years ago I scored 128.
I took the same test last night and got 118 (at 11pm -what was I thinking?)
I took it once more today at 3pm and scored 125. (with no looking up answers since last night, it was still probably skewed from having taken it last night)
I know I was tested when I was very young (5ish?) and scored higher than any of those numbers.

So I am wondering. What's in an IQ? What does it mean when a person varies so much over a 20 years? Or is there a 'grace' bracket of 10+ points?

I guess a person's IQ drops dramatically when fatigued, that makes sense. For all of us fibromyalgics, chronic fatiguers...I wonder how very brilliant we really are!
