Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:\n\nOver 140 - Genius or near genius \n\n120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence \n\n110 - 119 - Superior intelligence \n\n90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence \n\n80 - 89 - Dullness \n\n70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency \n\nUnder 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness \n\nNormal Distribution & IQ Scores\nThe properties of the normal distribution apply to IQ scores:\n\n50% of IQ scores fall between 90 and 110 \n\n70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115 \n\n95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130 \n\n99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140 \n\n \nAccording to recent research by Professor Lynn of Ulster University  here are the AVERAGE IQ's for some European countries;\n\nGermany (107),\nNetherlands (107),\nPoland (106),\n Sweden (104),\n Italy (102), \nAustria (101) \nSwitzerland (101). \nUK (100),\nNorway (100),\n Belgium (99)\nDenmark (99),\nFinland (99),\nCzech Republic (98)\n Spain (98),\n Hungary (98), \nRussia (96), \nGreece (95), \nFrance (94),\n Romania (94), \nTurkey (90)\n Serbia, (89). \n\nOF COURSE IQ IS CULTURALLY CONSTRUCTED. SO I WOULDN'T TAKE THAT TABLE INTO TO MUCH  ACCOUNT. DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE SERBIANS ARE LESS INTELLIGENT THAN GERMANS!  IN EVERY NATION SOME ARE CLEVER, SOME NOT SO!

i doubt it I am very smart I have taken quite a few online and offline IQ tests and mine is 160. Einstien's was 168 so if she is not lying she is alot smarter than him and I doubt that i think out of the whole populace of MENSA only 1 maybe 2 have an IQ that high!!

IQ is actually a very poor way of measuring "intelligence". People can be genius' s in a wide range of areas- for example a mathematician and BMX champion are geniuses at what they do in their own spheres- why should being able to work with figures and complex formuale mark anyone as more "worthy" than someone who can exert mastery over their own bodies, fears and be creative? The best measure for intelligence is actually "Emoitional Intelligence"

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

The average IQ is by definition 100.  Scores above 100 indicate a higher than average IQ and scores below 100 indicate a lower that average IQ.  The range from 85 to 115 is considered low average to high average.  Theoretically, scores can range any amount below or above 100, but in practice they do not meaningfully go much below 50 or above 150. \n\nI hope this helps.  Here is a link that discusses IQ scores in more detail.

Well, by IQ standards, that is considered above average.  The IQ test is not a very good test.  It does not truly test your ability to think or to reason.  Just like the SAT's, your IQ can improve everytime you take it.  Try it again and see what you get.  I did that, and the first time I got a 137 and the second time I got a 143.  I have also taken an IQ test administered by a psychologist and I scored 140.  It was much longer than the online version.  It took about 2 hours.  I believe that the scoring changes depending on the version.  A 135 is very good though, just don't put too much stock in it.  By the way, the high school that I went to required an IQ of 131 to enter the gifted program.

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.

IQ is only a measure of the capacity to solve problems. Knowledge is how much one knows.  IQ can be coupled with Knowledge to show understanding.  Kids do not have the knowledge that their teachers do.

The average IQ is defined to be 100. most people range from about 85 to 115. The distribution of IQ scores lies on a Bell curve. It has been noted that the average IQ worldwide seems to have been rising at a rate of about 3 points per decade, so tests are periodically renormalized so that 100 is once again the average.\n\nNote that IQ tests are designed to measure specific aspects of intelligence, and there are forms and manifestations of intellect that are not indicated by one's IQ score.

IQ scores are normallized so that the mean (average) is 100 and the standard deviation is 16.  Also, IQ scores are normally distributed.  So, using this information, you are 1.69 standard deviations above average, which puts you at the 95th percentile, meaning that your IQ score is as good or better than 95% of all IQ scores.

If you live near a Best Buy go to the CD-ROMS and look around the education series. You might see a CD called IQ Test. I got the cd and it's age 13 to adult.

IQ Score is not everything u know. though i like taking them XP, they're fun, espcially when u see how they try to trick you or you understand why they're tricky, or when i realize taht i almost choose the wrong answer hahaha. ANYHOW.\n\nEinstein never took an iq test\n-------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTime and again the following question is posed: "What was Albert Einstein’s IQ?"\n\nThe intelligence quotient (IQ) is a measuring instrument for intellectual talent. The term was coined by the German psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Stern (1871-1938) in 1912. The IQ is determined by the intelligence age (I A) in relation to the life age (L A) of the respective person. In standardized tests (IQ-tests), in which the general intelligence is tested, the I A is determined. The IQ can thus be calculated with the formula IQ = (I A/L A)*100. The analysis is done with the help of IQ scales which can, however, differ from each other. Thus the Americans for example use scales which admit IQ values of far more than 200. Thus the mean value of most scales is an IQ of 100. This value represents a normal talent. When indicating the respective IQ the used IQ scale which was used has to be indicated, too.\n\nExample of an IQ scale:\n\nIQ  Intelligence grade \nover 140 excellent \n120-139 very good \n110-119 good \n90-109 average, normal talent \n80-89 low \n70-79 very low \nunder 69 extremely low \n\nNow back to the question that was mentioned in the beginning concerning Einstein’s IQ.\n\nAs far as we known today, Albert Einstein has never done any IQ test. Thus his IQ is unknown!\n\nIn the 20ies scientists had tried to estimate the IQ of deceased personalities such as Mozart (1756-1791) and Goethe (1749-1832) by means of biographic data; thus they wanted to estimate Albert Einstein’s IQ, too. The value estimated for Einstein was between 160 and 180. But this rough estimation can not count as Einstein’s IQ!\n\nChildren also wanted to know Einstein’s IQ. Thus a ten-year-old girl wrote a letter to Einstein at the end of the 40ies which said:\n\n"…I’m writing to you because my cousin and I had a bet. He said you had 175 in entiledgence. And I said you had 190. Which one of us is right. … My inteligence is 145."\n\nBibliography:\n     \nAlice Calaprice Dear Professor Einstein\nAlbert Einstein's letters to and from children New York 2002

oftenly we use IQ to measure people's intellegence.\nwhy are some people smarter than others??\n\n1. Genetics \nThe role of genes and environment (nature vs. nurture) in determining IQ is reviewed in Plomin et al. (2001, 2003). The degree to which genetic variation contributes to observed variation in a trait is measured by a statistic called heritability. Heritability scores range from 0 to 1, and can be interpreted as the percentage of variation (e.g. in IQ) that is due to variation in genes. Twins studies and adoption studies are commonly used to determine the heritability of a trait. Until recently heritability was mostly studied in children. These studies yield an estimate of heritability of 0.5; that is, half of the variation in IQ among the children studied was due to variation in their genes. The remaining half was thus due to environmental variation and measurement error. A heritability of 0.5 implies that IQ is "substantially" heritable. Studies with adults show that they have a higher heritability of IQ than children do and that heritability could be as high as 0.8, though it is probably not this high. The American Psychological Association's 1995 task force on "Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns" concluded that within the White population the heritability of IQ is “around .75” \n\nConsiderable research has focused on biological correlates of g; see General intelligence factor and the section on brain size below. For example, general intelligence and MRI brain volume measurements are correlated, and the effect is primarily determined by genetic factors.\n\n\n2. Environment\nEnvironmental factors play a large role in determining IQ in extreme situtations. Proper childhood nutrition appears critical for cognitive development; malnutrition can lower IQ. Other research indicates environmental factors such as prenatal exposure to toxins, duration of breastfeeding, and micronutrient deficiency can affect IQ. In the developed world, there are some family effects on the IQ of children, accounting for up to a quarter of the variance. However, by adulthood, this correlation disappears, so that the cognitive ability of adults living in the prevailing conditions of the developed world is highly heritable.\n\nNearly all personality traits show that, contrary to expectations, environmental effects actually cause adoptive siblings raised in the same family to be as different as children raised in different families (Harris, 1998; Plomin & Daniels, 1987). Put another way, shared environmental variation for personality is zero, and all environmental effects are nonshared. Intelligence is actually an exception to this rule, at least among children. The IQs of adoptive siblings, who share no genetic relation but do share a common family environment, are correlated at .32. Despite attempts to isolate them, the factors that cause adoptive siblings to be similar have not been identified, though it could be related to parents choosing the type of children they will adopt. However, as explained below, shared family effects on IQ disappear after adolescence.\n\nActive genotype-environment correlation, also called the "nature of nurture", is observed for IQ. This phenomenon is measured similarly to heritability; but instead of measuring variation in IQ due to genes, variation in environment due to genes is determined. One study found that 40% of variation in measures of home environment are accounted for by genetic variation. This suggests that the way human beings craft their environment is due in part to genetic influences.
