  • So far, I see yours, and mine. Mine's 145. That would make yours lower! Enough humor! Below average is below 100. Average is 100-125 or thereabout. Above that is high, with genious being above the 150 range. Close enogh?
  • The IQ levels are very subjective but here're what I found... Over 140 - Genius or near genius 120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence 110 - 119 - Superior intelligence 90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence 80 - 89 - Dullness 70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness
  • I took one and the damn IQ test never sent me my score, it said "being that your IQ score was so high, you should take a look at" so and so school. Which is crap! So I never got my score, dumb scam thing.
  • It depends on which IQ test you take. They have different ranges for the differernt tests. Generqally 95-110= Normal range, and then they vary mostly to the upside of that. In 1905, the French psychologist Alfred Binet published the first modern intelligence test, the Binet-Simon intelligence scale. His principal goal was to identify students who needed special help in coping with the school curriculum. Along with his collaborator Theodore Simon, Binet published revisions of his intelligence scale in 1908 and 1911, the last appearing just before his untimely death. In 1912, the abbreviation of "intelligence quotient" or I.Q., a translation of the German Intelligenz-Quotient, was coined by the German psychologist William Stern. A further refinement of the Binet-Simon scale was published in 1916 by Lewis M. Terman, from Stanford University, who incorporated Stern's proposal that an individual's intelligence level be measured as an intelligence quotient (I.Q.). Terman's test, which he named the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale formed the basis for one of the modern intelligence tests still commonly used today. In 1939 David Wechsler published the first intelligence test explicitly designed for an adult population, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, or WAIS. Since publication of the WAIS, Wechsler extended his scale downward to create the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, or WISC, which is still in common usage. The Wechsler scales contained separate subscores for verbal and performance IQ, thus being less dependent on overall verbal ability than early versions of the Stanford-Binet scale, and was the first intelligence scale to base scores on a standardized normal distribution rather than an age-based quotient. Since the publication of the WAIS, almost all intelligence scales have adopted the normal distribution method of scoring. The use of the normal distribution scoring method makes the term "intelligence quotient" an inaccurate description of the intelligence measurement, but I.Q. still enjoys colloquial usage, and is used to describe all of the intelligence scales currently in use.
  • In junior high school, I was given an IQ test based on the recommendation of a teacher for entrance into a gifted program. I scored 135, which is high. Average is about 100. It's now 30 years later, & I found an IQ test at the bookstore & took it just for fun. I got the same score. I tripled my age, but my IQ stayed the same. That's how the IQ test is supposed to work. It tests reasoning ability, rather than specific knowledge.
