How does the IQ score work?  I'm so confused!!!..?

The average for every age is 100.  Your IQ is your age divided by your intelligence age.  That should equal 1 for a normal person.  Then you multiply that number by 100.  So, 100 is normal and 150 or above is genius level.

lol! i got this result.they keeps calling me stupid,even in my mail also...so sad...(but that was kinda fun)\nStupid, your IQ score is 96 \nThe way you think about things makes you a Linguistic Architect. This means you are brilliant when it comes to language and words. You are also very good at understanding things on an abstract level. You are at your best when you put those two skills together to communicate new ideas and see how they fit into different contexts. You understand math and science on a gut level, even if the equations and science don't come as easily. You can use these skills to be a great communicator or to create a masterpiece.

IQ is a funny thing...back when the idea for testing for an "Intelligence Quotient" came out, I think it was in the 1920s or 1930s, the scores did in fact go all the way down to one, because the idea was that the scores were designed to be divided by your age to give the testers an idea of how smart you were compared to other people *your same age*.\n\nOf course since then the standard has changed two or three times and now, the "Average" IQ is automatically 100 or "normal", with numbers lower than 50 or above 150 being inferred mathematically (by way of statistics) more than derived from the tests themselves.\n\nIn particular, once you get to IQs below the 50-60 range, it just plain gets too hard to test, because even at that range you are talking about, usually, adults with the intellect of small children.  And while people get dumber than that, that level of dumb gets progressively harder to test.\n\nIf I recall the old standards correctly, for instance, someone with an IQ of 20, for example, would basically be like a 20 year old adult with the intelligence of a *two year old child*.  Getting that tested is a pain to do....and with some poor souls who have sufffered severe brain damage and operate on the level of an infant or worse, there just isn't any point to testing them, then it becomes cruel to do so.  Not to mention, you end up confusing "function" with intelligence, which causes problems all its own.\n\nSo yeah, one of the above posters is correct, IQs below 50 are rarely tested for anymore, they are more inferred by watching behavior and function, and doing it statistically.\n\nHope this helps.  :)\n\n(oh, one other problem with the old system....as standards changed, people who tested under the new system found their IQs going *down*, partly because of peers testing smarter yes, but also because the old system did in fact test kids as smarter than what they were...it was a case of testing versus a changing standard of both age-peer *and* adult function)

Well i now feel STUPID! lol I am rolling it at 128.  But I do know people who have scored above 150 two are my brothers.  People are getting smarter!\nDescriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients \n  \nIQ Description % of Population \n130+ Very superior 2.2% \n120-129 Superior 6.7% \n110-119 High average 16.1% \n90-109 Average 50% \n80-89 Low average 16.1% \n70-79 Borderline 6.7% \nBelow 70 Extremely low 2.2% \n\nApparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation. In their book, Know Your Child’s IQ, Glen Wilson and Diana Grylls outline occupations typical of various IQ levels:\n\n140 Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists. \n130 Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical) \n120 School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers. \n110 Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians. \n100+ Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers. \n100- Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers. \n90 Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters. \nWell now I don't feel so stupid! lol

First of all I would wonder what test you took to get those results. If you took a test from a psychiatrist they should have analyzed the results with you. If you took a test on the Internet I would be a bit skeptical about how accurate it is. But if it is accurate you are very smart!\n\n"IQs of 132 or above may join Mensa upon presentation of qualifying test results. Individuals with IQs of 137+ are eligible to join organizations such as TOPS (Top One Percent Society). Those with IQs of 150+ qualify for membership in the Triple-Nine Society and the One-in-a-Thousand (OATH) Society."\n\nIQ results can vary up to 20 points either way on any given day based on mood/etc. I would suggest seeking another test and take the median of the two result. Next look into a club of similarly smart people. Maybe you might want to ask for a raise once you confirm your a genius. haha!\n\nGood luck! (and Congrats)

Firstly, IQ's are supposed to be weighted to factor in age (so a 3-yr-old with an IQ of 132 should be as "intelligent" as a 50-yr-old with and IQ of 132 when they hit that age)\n\nThat said, an IQ score of 132 does make you a pretty smart cookie, "very superior intelligence," in fact, just a few points (8) short of being a genius.  The median score is around 100.\n\nOf course, innate intellect alone doesn't get you all that far.  Hard work and a teeny bit of luck will "add" more points to your success than just your IQ.  And a high IQ does not mean you absorb knowledge through osmosis (although that would be cool); you still have to study.

1. Any halfway accurate IQ test you take would factor in your age when calculating the score, so a 13 year old who gets less questions right than a 25 year old might still get the same score.\n\n2. Most IQ tests you find on the internet are total crap, and furthermore, that Tickle IQ test gives you your score based on the performance of everyone who's taken the test, which includes people who cheated on it, which makes it ridiculously inaccurate.\n\n3. Many IQ tests are flawed in the questions they choose to use. For example, questions about proverbs and other cultural items do not test your intelligence so much as the depth of your knowledge of American English, and a brilliant person from another culture will miss that question. A famous example of a flawed question is, "Which of these does not belong with the others? A. dog B. deer C. cow E. horse." Someone might say "A. dog" because the dog does not have hooves. Someone else might say "deer" because the deer is the only animal that is not domesticated. Someone else might say "cow" because the cow is the only one that's a source of food. Someone else might say "horse" because the horse is the only one you can ride on.\n\n4. IQ tests often do not account for the variety in kinds of intelligence. There are many kinds of intelligence, some recognized by American culture and some not recognized by American culture but recognized by other cultures. For example, there is social intelligence, creative intelligence, logical intelligence, etc. IQ tests generally look at four intelligence types, but totally miss many others.\n\n5. The original purpose and professional use of IQ tests is not to tell normal people how smart they are. IQ tests were originally designed to detect mental deficiencies. For example, a child with a particular disorder might fail a large number of questions related to logic, or a child with another disorder may miss the questions relating to spacial skills.\nOnline tests will do a sort of reverse of this- telling you that your strong point is your spacial reasoning or something. It's not quite so bad as just spitting out a score, but it still is not what that kind of test is best used for.\n\n6. Once again, these things are as unreliable as all ****!\n\nSome geniuses might get a 260 on these tests. But, some geniuses might get a 95. There are many kinds of intelligence, and no IQ test- especially no free IQ test you find on the internet- can really tell you how smart you are. Your intelligence is something you have to discover by yourself, by coming up with the right way to go about things and getting the results you expect.

IQ tests are usually standardized to produce a score, based on the amount of questions you answer correctly and the difficulty of them.\n\nHistorically IQ has been mental age divided by chronological age, but in adulthood, this way of measuring is faulty.  Hence the point-scored tests.

You are normal, smart, and able to do well in regular classes.\n\nIQ is a measure of how fast you learn, and how well you are able to use the knowledge you do have (puzzle solving/logic, memory, etc.).\n\nIQ scores divide as follows:\n\n100 is average. Most people fall between 85 and 115 IQ.\n\n115 - 129 is high average/superior intelligence. These are people who are smart, and also still do very well with regular education classwork. Most people who make a difference in this world actually fall in this range of intelligence.\n\n130 and above is "gifted/genius" level. These are people who think so fast that they need specialized instruction to really meet their full potential. Many often struggle in regular classwork because they don't have the patience to deal with the relatively slow pace and constant repetition. Only 2% of the population is this intelligent. Some are able to use their rapid thinking process to make a big difference in whatever area they choose to apply themselves... others crash and burn because they can't deal that well with normal routine tasks.\n\nIQ's between 70 and 85 are "borderline" -- they aren't retarded, but they need additional instruction and support to succeed academically. Most are fine socially and in daily life skills.\n\nIQ's under 70 are Mentally Retarded -- they learn extremely slowly, both academically and socially, and have trouble with understanding how to use skills in different environments.

It's not a matter of "good." Your IQ is slightly above average...so is 50% of the population!\n\nI have a student in my class (also 13) who tested at 145. That's pretty high, probably the highest IQ of anyone that I have met. But to speak with him and to work with him, you wouldn't know it. He seems quite average. Therefore, I doubt the veracity of the test. I don't know who tested him. I'm assuming it was at his previous school.\n\nPlease remember that these test must be preformed by a trained professional to be accurate.

Umm, you mean more then 100 points?  The IQ test is ranked by points, up to 200.

hard to say, there are a variety of IQ tests out there.  What were the ranges for that test?  you should be able to find out that info.

An intelligence quotient or IQ is a number derived from a set of standardized tests developed to measure a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group. An IQ test does not measure intelligence the way a ruler measures height (absolutely), but rather the way a race measures speed (relatively); IQ is described as a "quotient" because, originally, it represented the ratio between a person's "mental age" and actual chronological age.\n\nIts not based on a formula,but on what answer you provide for each question

IQ stands for "Intelligence Quotient".\n\nIt is the quotient of your intellectual age, divided by your chronological age - and then the result multiplied by 100 to eliminate any fractions.\n\nSo, if you are 7 years old, but are intellectually as smart as a 14 year old (14/7 = 2) then your IQ is 200.

Mean: 113\nMedian: 108-116\nMode: 108-116\n\nThe mean was the hard one, I actually took the middle score from each range (eg 90-98=94) and multipled it by the number of times it occured (eg 94x6=564) and added all 5 (564+2266+4816+3388+1170= 12204). Then divided it by the frequency (6+22+43+28+9=108). Total (12204/108= 113). It's impossible to find a mean of a set of ranges, you need exact figures.\n\nThe mode is the most commonly occuring range, the median is the central range. These figures can't be accurate without the full actual IQ scores. But based on the figures provided, the mean, median and mode are as I stated above. If you provide the exact figures I'll work out the exact mean, mode and median.

No.  Only a qualified professional can measure your IQ with any kind of accuracy.  There are plenty of websites where you can take an "IQ test," but none give you an accurate score.  One I've noticed claims the average score of it's test takers is over 120, when it must, by definition, give an average score of exactly 100 (since scores are determined based on how far from average they are, and average is _defined_ as 100).  But some websites where you can take "IQ" tests just for fun include:\n\nhttp://www.iqtest.com/\nhttp://www.intelligencetest.com/\nhttp://web.tickle.com/\nhttp://www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/
