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.

LOL, you mean on yahoo? I can't believe some of the answers people give in this place! I think a lot of people are just really stupid to be honest, too much tv, not enough books, not enough interest in intellectual development. Stupid people are rampant, but apparently in higher than average numbers in parts of Yahoo.

By definition, your score is above average.  IQ is a statistical measure, therefore your result is a function of how well you do relative to everyone else who has taken the test.  An IQ of 100 is the mean score.  15 points is equivalent to 1 standard deviation, therefore 68% of the population scores between 85 and 115.  If you plot your score on a normal curve (mean of 100, standard deviation of 15), the percentile score is 94.5%.  you scored better than 94% of the population.

Such is the failings of an unmoderated system. I too have been very disappointed with the (few) answers I have received to the serious questions I have posed.\n\nHopefully Yahoo will implement a system that allows members to rate members based on the questions they ask and the answers they give. Yahoo has already given special recognition to some top answerers, and hopefully they will create a system that recognizes people in terms of the quality of their contributions rather than just the quantity.

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

Yes. The intelligence level and sensibility/understandability of the questions and replies drops like a rock!.

I think they'll base IQ on whose questions you answer.\n\nSince I answer all Slacker's questions, I must be pretty smart. I'll probably get a 172.

The average IQ of a 15 year old is 100. IQ scores are age adjusted, so the average is always 100 for the most commonly used IQ scales. The average range, and IQ should always be thought of as a range, not an exact score (IQ tests are not perfectly accurate) is really more like 90-110.

Well the variance of the 3 results is pretty small so you can safely say 131. But what's the point, anyway?\n\nInventor of IQ test answer to what is intelligence was: "it is what my tests measure"

I am 65 and have an IQ of 110, so that makes you smarter then me, and I was told I had an average IQ.

Average is 90-110. Mine is 142, tested in school.\n\nAdditional note to the guy below... 90-110 is average. You don't have to be dead on 100. You'd know that if your IQ really were as high as you say it is. And if we're the worst in the labor force, perhaps it's because we know how to think for ourselves.
