150 and above is genus. Mine is 139. You decide.
-
119 is 19 points above average.... my IQ is not known... as I cant be arsed to check
-
Good question, that's my IQ.
-
An IQ of 119 is a pretty good IQ, it means that you are quite smart. Just remember that it's not your IQ, but your I can!
-
Well... 70 is baaaad. 119 as stated above is above average. So 119 is quite good. In my opinion IQ tests are not very usefull anyway. I belive that one's IQ lies in their ability to adapt to a new environment. Not in problem solving and reasoning specifically. although both play a part in the ability to adapt.

It's good, but you can only get an accurate IQ test when you are a very young child. After that, education affects it too much.

It's not about how high your IQ is, it's how you use it :o) But the average is 100, with 68% of people falling within 10 points of that (90-110), and 95% within 20 points of 100 (80-120) so you're right 119 is right at the point of having a higher IQ than 95% of the population. :o)

Well 100 means that your mental age is the same as your chronological age. Anything higher than 100 is good. Average IQ in America is only between 85-95? 119 means your mental age preceedes your chronological age by 19 'years'. I hope this helped. I learned it in my Psych. classes.

Good or bad compaired to what? An IQ is a generalization based upon common knowledge.

An I Q test does not measure good vs bad. It is only a measure of how test takers scored against the general population in answering for different areas (e.g., language fluency, three-dimensional thinking). In the original studies, tests were give to large numbers of people. The scores were then analyzed to determine the median score (half above, half below). This score was assigned the number 100. Scores above 100 mean more answers "correct" and below mean more answers "incorrect". A large number of psychological studies have been conducted since the first "Intelligence Quotient" tests were developed in the early 1900's to find out how (or if) the scores correlate to jobs, health, and other activities. Good and Bad are not on that list.

119 IQ is pretty good. The next time you are tested you will be even better.

Mine is 119 too, i'm 22, and really doesn't matter, IQ tests and all those kind of tests really aren't that good. We know what we know because is what we choose to know. Ability is one thing and it all depends on how you treat your body, eating disorders and that sort of things. Eat well, do exercises, make new routines, etc...

It is above average on the bell curve. 219 would be better.
-
It's slightly above average.
