It is the same with the brain. A lower IQ is limited in its ablility to hold/learn and to understand. In one of the tests that you speak of 140 is genius level and on another 160 is genius level. On one 90 is average and on another 100 is average. When I tested while at University my IQ was 130 on the test that as 90 as average and 140 as genius level, but I am older now and IQ level normally decreases with age.

Sorry to say it, but pretty much everything you said in this post is bullshit.
First and foremost, IQ has rather little to do with what your brain will hold - long term memory. Instead, it focuses on things such as logical thinking, spatial thinking, linguistic insight, etc. In fact, most IQ tests don't even test short term memory. What your brain "will hold" would be best tested by having you follow a university course in some subject, and testing you on it a few years later. Obviously, IQ tests don't do this. They don't test what your brain will hold, but what it can compute.
Secondly, if you took an IQ test on which the average result was 90, it wasn't an IQ test. By definition, IQ tests are scored so that the average comes out as 100. There are variations in the standard deviation though, which is most often 15, but sometimes 16, 24 or 25.
