For intelligence you are in the range of "very superior intelligence", not quite a genius. But there are many certified geniuses who are also marginally employed. So clearly, IQ alone is not a predictor of success in life. How well you get along with other people, how much common sense you have, how much ambition you have, how hard you are willing to work, how resilient you are when faced with obstacles, how creative you are in solving problems -- these are all things that seem to matter much more than mere IQ. What's wrong with you? Maybe nothing if you are happy with your life. Maybe everything. If your life is not what you want it to be, apply your very superior intelligence towards the problem of figuring out how you can change things. \n\nFor some information on IQ ranges, check out the site below.

Do a google search and/or a yahoo search for "Free IQ tests" and you'll come up with tons of them.  But, if you want to get a better idea of what your IQ is, do more than just one test, don't do the 'short cut' tests, keep track of the scores, and then average them.  That will at least give you an idea.\n\nOf course, you have to follow the test instructions, such as whether or not you are allowed to use pen and paper or whether the answers must be worked out in your head.\n\nOn average, my IQ is 132 ~ so, not exactly a genius, but not at the bottom of the gene pool, either.

Congratulations! An IQ of 148 is very exceptional and means that you are blessed with many opportunities.\nHowever, the IQ as such does not automatically give you any qualification (except the right to join Mensa and other similar high IQ organisations). You will have to work and study for your qualifications as anyone else, even though you should find it a lot easier than most people. Having said that, there are also people with very high IQs who lack practical abilities and do therefore not make much use of their gifts or contribute anything to society.\nIt is up to you to make the best of your talents, skills and natural gifts. If you have problems to decide on a path, a counsellor or even your girlfriend should be able to advice you. Her IQ of 126 is very good as well and I am not surprised that she got a PhD. But as I said earlier, it is not the number that makes all the difference, but the application of your potential.\n\nP.S. Since you asked, my own IQ is 134 and I am quite happy with that.

It means you are above average and should do well in college = good job!!!\n\nbtw - I scored 142 on that test :-)!!!

It means you took a test which has no actual bearing on your intelligence. Get tested professionally by a psychologist and then see how smart you really are.

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.

The Internet is a breeding ground for anonymous "stars" of all kinds, including geniuses. Therefore, people might think you're pulling their legs, or they're just "trolling" you. But if the 157 is true, then congratulations on your result. That's a very high IQ.

A test score is just a number. A number by itself is fairly meaningless. You asked where 142 falls on the gifted scale. Most everyone would consider a score of 142 as highly gifted. The problem is that the number a child gets on an IQ test is not an absolute number. There is always a margin of error, which means the score could be higher or it could be lower by a certain number of points (depending on the test). In addition, the same child taking two different tests (WISC-IV and Otis Lennon, for example) will most likely end up with two different numbers (with two different margins for error). The numbers could be close, but they will still be different numbers. For instance, one number could be 142, while the other could be 133.

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!!

That depends on the I.Q test ,since they are different in\nthe concept of calculating the I.Q .\nMost of them using a scale of 200 points ,in this case 100\npoint represent the average of the people even 90 or 110 \nstill in the average ,125 to 140 you are high intelligent \nmore than 140 ,talented.You can score up to 200.

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.

Generally, IQ tests have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.  Most people are between 85 and 115.  A person with an IQ of 130 or higher is considered to be a genius; a person with an IQ of 70 or below is considered to be mentally retarded.\n\nSpecifically, average is 100, and any score above 100 would be above average.

It's above average, so yes.\n\nBut if it was done on an Internet IQ test, then be wary as they're not always accurate. But with your above average IQ I'm sure you'll know that :)

I dunno, apparently like 120 and up is pretty cool. Just remember that IQ tests examine a very special set of skills. They have no bearing on your rhthym, your style, your potential as a human being, or whether you're nice person.

your "intelligence quotient" is supposed to measure your ability to reason and your potential knowledge and thiking. or something like that. all it reallytests is how well you take that one particular test.

You determine a genius by his IQ.

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
