Your IQ doesn't change much if any no matter what your age.  I tested 137 in 5th grade and I am still around there in my 30's, +- a couple points.\n\nThe average IQ is 100, so 125 is considered bright, it's good.  :)

If you have taken an IQ test, you will notice that it is strongly math based.  Blacks for years have been denied equal education.  You would score lower too if you were forced to have an inferior education.  Remember that slavery was not long ago, and slaves were mostly illiterate.  They could not teach their children, and so forth.  It will take a long time to undo this injustice.  Meantime, I'll bet Colin Powell has a higher IQ than you.

No. It isnt a bad thing. No one can be too smart. The problem is most people are intimidated by very smart people. Dont let her bother you. You have a great gift.

No, 87 is not at all an idiot IQ.  It's well within the normal range.  Average on any IQ test is 100, with a standard deviation of 15.  That means 68% of all scores are somewhere between 85 and 115.  While 87 is toward the lower end of that range, it's nothing to be worried about.  95% of scores are between 70 and 130; it's beyond those scores that terms like "retarded" and "gifted" are best applied.\n\nRealize also that IQ doesn't really measure "intelligence".  There are MANY facets to intelligence, and an IQ score is just one score on a single test.  While this test is better than most in that it divides a couple of different skills, it's still just one test.  No one should make life decisions based on a single number.

Yes, it is a good score.  It is above average.  The range from 85 to 115 is low average to high average.  Remember though that if it came from an on line test they score higher than the real IQ tests.  An IQ score is only a number.  It is not who you are.  Much more important than your IQ score is how you use it.

Well, according to Tickle.com, the average person taking their IQ test scored a 115.  The highest average was in DC, with 119, and the lowest was Mississippi, with 112. But, who really knows.  It's not like everyone in the countries take the stupid test.  I scored a 132, and guess where I live...Mississippi.  Go figure.

There are many factors involved here, and you have had some very good answers.  IQ tests tend to not be very accurate with young children for a whole variety of reasons, and it can be expected that tests given later will produce different scores. It also depends for example, on the particular test used.  \n\nDid you daughter have lots of special programming and attention after the first test?  If so, that teaching may have helped her make some significant gains in her skills.  Does she seem to be progressing very well?  If so, her delays may have been developmental, and she may  "catch up" quite a bit, given lots of good programming.\n\nWith all of that said, it is really impossible for any of us to give you an absolute answer to your question, because we don't know your daughter, which test was used, etc. but anything is possible.  However, the difference you describe is quite a big one, and as you said, it is hard to believe that there could be that much improvement so quickly.  \n\nPay particular attention to your daughter and her development over the next months.  Stimulate her learning as much as you can.  Ask her teacher what you can do at home to help her progress even more than she has, but don't overwhelm her with too much work and practice.  Most likely she will be tested again  in a year or so, and then you may have a better answer.   \n\nBest of luck to you and your daughter.

166 really?? I would think you could figure it out. LOL\n\ntop score 300. average 110-115, genius (top 2 %) 130+\n\nIt was estimated that Marilyn Vos Savants IQ was 230. but when IQ gets very high it is impossible to tell. There actually is not top score but it is estimated that it is almost beyond improbability for a homo sapiens to score higher than 300 and not be another species.\n\nPart of the measuring problem is ceiling bump. i.e. how does a person with an IQ of 135 design a test to quantify the IQ of someone with and IQ of 200 or 250.\n\nWith an IQ of 166 one thing that you Will notice. People that have IQ of less than say 120 will notice that you are smart but not be able to discern how smart. People that are over 135 can discern the difference between two people one with say an IQ of 145 an another with an IQ of 165.

IQ tests follow a sysetm of normal distribution. If the IQs of the entire population were put into a graph you would get whats known as a bell jar curve; a symmetrical line peaking in the middle. The value at this mid point would be 100. So the average IQ score is 100. A bit long winded, I know, but I thought just writing 100 looked a bit thin!

If your sister is bigger than you, she is 17 years old\nIf your sister is smaller than you, she is 5 years old

An IQ of 120 is actually above average.  98th percentile is really good.  What it means is that you scored better than 98% of the people who took the test.  The standard deviations you don't really need to worry about.\n\nBottom line:  You're a smart cookie!  Congrats on your test scores!

IQ stands for intelligence quotient. Supposedly, it is a score that tells one how “bright” a person is compared to other people. 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. 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\nHalf of the population have IQ’s of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ’s and 25% have lower IQ’s: \n\nDescriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients\n \n \n \nIQ\n Description\n % of Population\n \n130+\n Very superior\n 2.2%\n \n120-129\n Superior\n 6.7%\n \n110-119\n High average\n 16.1%\n \n90-109\n Average\n 50%\n \n80-89\n Low average\n 16.1%\n \n70-79\n Borderline\n 6.7%\n \nBelow 70\n Extremely low\n 2.2%\n \nHope this Helped

http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf\n\nis worth taking if you want to know what your IQ is.\n\nDo not take the tickle test or the other test shown here. They are not like real tests and give invalid results.\n\nIf you can score 135 on this test you should be able to qualify for mensa.
