Wow. All these geniuses online with nothing to do but brag about IQ scores. LMAO!!! Same reason I left Mensa...too much talk about how wonderful we are, and not enough action to really improve the lives of the people around us. Now, I teach.\n\nAnyway...\n\nAn IQ score of 118 is high average. It means that you learn quickly enough and apply your knowledge well enough to be a good success in any work you choose to do. Congratulations!  Actually, being high average is preferable to being in the "genius" range because minds that think much quicker than average also tend to have difficulty slowing down to pick up on social cues, routine tasks, etc. That's why we have Gifted Education (not just academic acceleration). \n\nBe proud of how smart you are... you're just right to survive effectively and productively in our world. Most people around you will think of you as smart, because you are above average. WTG!

There are lots of on line sites where you can take an "IQ test".  They are interesting and fun to do, and tell us some things about ourselves, but they are not "real" IQ tests.  These tests tend to score higher than the real IQ tests.\n\nHere are some links you may find interesting and helpful.

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.

IQ tests are a good measure of overall intelligence, but it is not worth getting "hung up" over a score lower than average. Naturally we are all skilled in different areas, and a good IQ test will test you on all of these. Often people who are good at the literature based questions are not so strong on mathematical ones and vice versa. Also many online IQ tests copy questions, so people can become used to the types of questions they will answer. This isnt therefore testing IQ, but memory!!\n\nPersonally my IQ is 145, which is considered high, but I dont think this makes me any more intelligent than those with a lower score. \n\nI dont think intelligence can be measured - and I find the need to measure children on an IQ level quite disturbing.\n\nWhat does everyone else think?

The average IQ is generally 100, although you can get the average IQ listed by state here: http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2004/US-Election-IQ2004.htm\n\n120 is a very good score.  That is a higher score than 91% of the population.

On an IQ test scores between 85 and 115 are within the average range, low average to high average, so a score of 100 could be considered exactly average.  There is no perfect score for an IQ test.  \n\nThe most commonly used test is the Wechsler.  The Stanford Binet is another one.

Personality is a persons characteristic (who they are as a person), smartness is a persons IQ and/or ability to think. You didn't think much before asking this huh?

That sounds like the WISC-III intelligence test, from the Wechsler series of intelligence scales for children. \n\nIf you child has an IQ of 133 that means  your child is in the "Very superior" (top level of human intelligence..He or she is in the top 2.2% of the World's People for his or her intelligence. \n\nHere are some occupations which he or she could expect to enter as an adult:\n\nIQ                 Occupation\n140Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.\n130Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)\n120School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.\n\nYou can read more about IQ at the link I provide you below. Congratulations you have a very gifted child.

Intelligence is a complex topic.  Probably the easiest and simplest way to describe it is to say that intelligence is an individual's capacity to learn.  Theoretically, the higher the level of intelligence, the greater the capacity to learn and the more complicated material the individual can learn.  For example, the higher the intelligence the better an individual can learn to do math, read, etc.  Old psychology textbooks used to have a table that matched IQ levels to professions and the highest level IQ usually indicated someone who had the abiity to be a doctor, etc.  \n\nHowever, there is not always a match between measured intelligence and depth and quantity of learning.  \n\nMany theories consider intelligence to be different from creativity, emotion, critical thinking skills, and so on, but in recent years there has been much more emphasis and research on different types or aspects of intelligence - for example, emotional intelligence, multiple intelligences, common sense intelligence, etc.  \n\nI am merely scratching the surface in this answer.  I haven't even mentioned the many different learning theories!!  \n\nReview some of the links I've included and do some further research on some of the terms you see, and the immensity and complexity of the issue will be apparent.\n\nPersonally, I have always been very interested in multiple intelligences theory and used it extensively in my teaching.\n\nI hope this in some way addresses your question.  Enjoy the reading!

100 is by definition average, but it's all right here.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.intelligencetest.com/report/1.htm

Depending upon which test was used (Stanford Binet or Wechsler - not on line tests) a score of 145 or more may be considered genius.  \n\nThese links explain what IQ scores mean.

any test you get off the interweb is really all that trustworthy. now having said that, tickle.com has an iq exam and i got 142, but then again, iq test are utter bullsh*t

Most IQ tests are normed for a definite population so that the average IQ will lie between 90 and 110 (with the mean 100) on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale.\n\nHowever, an individual scoring at 100 within one population can score above or below that value within another population.\n\nFor example, the Japanese are supposed to have the highest average IQ in the world (115 St-Bin). I.e. compared to a calculated mean for the world. Still they have only an average of 100 within their own population.

It is around average.  Unless it was one of those "online IQ tests," they tend to skew it to make folks feel smart (and join $$$ programs), the average on those tends to be higher, around 115-120ish.\n\nThen again the IQ test really tests your ability to take the IQ test, so take it with a grain of salt.  In general "smart" people do better at it, but it isn't an exact measure.

How can one define anything, not to mention, what makes us more of an intelligence and not a computer? The real question is, how would you define an intelligent computer (if there is even a difference)?
