Second of all, none of what I saw was timed. Actual IQ scores take how quickly you process info into account. Despite getting most things right on my IQ test last year, my score was severely hampered by the fact it took me longer than most people to finish it.
Lastly, it's questions were from a .com site, which does little to reassure me that it's a legit test.
As Molty said, it was clearly a joke, which is why Charles and I sarcastically mentioned how "legit" it was. I'm fairly sure Charles and I don't actually believe we're more intelligent than Einstein ;-). I'm confident we're all smart enough here on the forum to get stuff like this, it sounds a little condescending when you state these things like we were in need for an explanation.
It was a fun test to do in any case, though the results aren't very fair, I think Dew deserves a lot more credit than 80 points ;P
If you do want a more reliable one, I've found two that seem decent :0
This is a Swedish one:

There's also this Danish one, but you can set the language to English:
