100 is considered average.

I tend to not trust online IQ tests though.

I got a 109 on this IQ test jus now but i got a 129 on another one i did some time ago. You cant trust these online IQ tests.

101 is below average i think. hahaFlaminglips1

No that is 90. The average 14 year old female is around 98.

These online IQ tests are not acurate. I got a 106 on this test, a 128 on another, and a 102 on another.

Brain scans can be done in order find IQ now...

That's less than Charles Manson got on his tests.RHCP87

Wasn't he considered a genius?

I've taken three online tests and received a different result each time.SolidSnake35

I took an IQ test. It was not online but an actual IQ test conducted for some study.I got a 153. IQ tests are not really too useful to guage how smart you really are. I was a really good student in school though. pintabear49blue

i got a 127...i feel so happy and special right now..... :? ...... :cry:

international high iq society here i come!

honestly though, there are so many different iq tests out there. your bound to do good on one of them.

i dont even know what iq is or what that number suppose to mean.:|

I took an IQ test yesterday and got 155, no jokeikekid

what was your percentile? I tool one a while back and was 4 points off of the mensa requirements.

Ok, it seems most people in this topic have no idea what real IQ tests are so let's try to set some common ground here:

- The only accurate, valid IQ tests are those that are administered in person by a psychologist. Those IQ tests had large amounts of research and data poured into them and they do give the same result each time for the same person (barring brain injury).

- Scores aren't obtained by dividing your "psychological age" as determined by the IQ test by your chronological age. That method is only used with one type of children's IQ test that isn't used much, if at all, anymore. The scores are obtained by taking the score you get on your test (which is not an IQ score) then comparing it to the population for that particular year (or to be more precise, converting the score you got into a z-score and then taking that z-score and converting into another score based on a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Which leads me to my next point...)

- A score of 100 is exactly average. A score between 85 and 115 is also average. Anything above that quickly becomes increasingly rare and the same goes for anything below that. To give you an idea of how rare we're talking, only 2.5% of the world's population has an IQ of 130 or above. Only 0.15% of the population has a score of 145 or above. And anything above that is almost unheard of.

- A score of 100 is exactly average. A score between 85 and 115 is also average. Anything above that quickly becomes increasingly rare and the same goes for anything below that. To give you an idea of how rare we're talking, only 2.5% of the world's population has an IQ of 130 or above. Only 0.35% of the population has a score of 145 or above. And anything above that is almost unheard of.

There are multiple IQ tests that are standerd. Some have diffrent standerds. I know that one has anything above 148 qualifies for mensa and another has 132 as the mensa standerd.

I was using the WAIS as an example, but the point still stands: the chance you have an IQ that would qualify as gifted is extremely low.

I was in the top 3% and mensa accepted tests scores from that particular test. I will try to find the papers I have(took it years ago) and get back to you.

I was under the impression that mensa only accepted applicants who scored in the top 2% of a test.

Anyway, I said the chance that you had a score that high is low, not impossible (and by "you" I just meant anyone reading the post).

they do only accept applicants in the top 2% percentile. I meant that the test I scored was accepted(some are not , for what ever reason).

I was 3 or four points off so I think that it was in the top 3% of those that took it.

its above average if you live in mississippi.maximusmmii

Most people aren't lying when they claim that they got a 130 on an online IQ test. They're just stupid for believing the results of an online IQ test.
