    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    The average IQ test score is 96, according to the Wechsler Intelligence Scales. The Wechsler Scales classify scores within the range of 90 to 109 to denote normal, average intelligence.

    It depends on whether you are using the WAIS scale where 100 is average, and above 130 = Genius, or the Stanford-Binet test scale. Also the WAIS test is supposedly more accurate because the Std. Deviation is much less on it.

    When the test was originally created the average scores ranged from 80-115 with 100 being the norm. 130+ would be considered highly intellegent.

    when I was 5 I was given an IQ test and my score was 75; when I was 27 I was given another IQ test and the score was 137. I know folks say that it shouldn't change with age, but mine did.

    added note btw: I did not go to school; my mother taught me to read and write at age 3 and I taught myself via library books after that, so school has nothing to do with test results either.

    of course 100 in America and 140+ is genius, but labeling 1 of like 500 people genius is dumb, so I think it is more like 155+ (StfdBnt)

    IQ is mostly measured by your ability to solve puzzles. It needs to factor in your ability to get laid and your social networking skills.

    Yes, I think I can help. Average IQs are between 85-114. Above Average are between 115-124. Genius Iq are in 4 stages. Genius(Professor) 145-154, Genius (Nobel Prize Winner) 155-164, Genius (High) 165-179, Genius (Highest) 180-200 and finally Genius (Unmeasurable) >200

    More than HALF of all Americans have IQs of less than 100!
    But they are good at playing football.
    It is well-known that France and its Astronaughts were the first nation to land on the moon.
    Just don't tell this to your friends at the Pittsburgh Burger-King!

    Dare you dispute this?
    I moved to France, and my IQ is now well over 100! Yay! No more idiot-causing freedom fries!And they have REAL Chinese food! Because they are not far from China.
    But Americans continue to be surprised by THIS Chinese fact!
    uggghhhh!
    UGHH
