Intelligence Quotient- it doesn't measure how smart you are, it is a measurement of your ability to learn.

An i.q. stands for intelligence quotient.  It is a figure which is assigned to you as an approximation of your intelligence as compared to a large class of people.  It does not mean that you are smarter or dumber than anyone else, but that you have been able to answer the questions of a multiple of subjects.  You may score extra high in reading comprehension but extra low in math.  It's just a number ranking you against everyone else.  By the way, 100, doesn't mean you scored all the answers correctly.  It means that you are average.  Review the meaning of a Gaussian Curve and you will get a general idea of what I mean.

The age thing has nothing to do with it because IQ points already take into consideration your age.  The definition of IQ (intelligence quotient) is the following:\n(Mental Age / Chronological Age) x 100 = IQ\nThat means that mathematically, if your mental age and your actual chronological age are the same, then they cancel each other out and come out to the number 1, and 1 x 100 is 100.  That means that the average IQ test score, when your mental ability cooresponds directly to how old your are, is 100.  \n\nIf your IQ is 113, that means that your mental ability is a bit higher than your actual age would suggest.

The average for every age is 100.  Your IQ is your age divided by your intelligence age.  That should equal 1 for a normal person.  Then you multiply that number by 100.  So, 100 is normal and 150 or above is genius level.

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!

It depends on the particular test that measures IQ since the tests don't measure the same way.\n\nMENSA refers to this:\nhttp://www.mensa.org/index0.php?page=10\n"The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all."

Average IQ for everyone, men, women, teenagers, children, boys, girls, ranges from 85 to 115, low average to high average, so an IQ of 100 would be right in the middle.  Many people believe that IQ remains about the same over time and doesn't change much, while others believe it is possible to improve IQ.  HOw you score on an IQ test is certainly affected by many factors ranging from how comfortable you felt in the room to whether you ate a good breakfast to whether you were well rested, if you had a cold, if there were distractions in the room, etc.  The person who administers the test is supposed to say whether anything seemed to affect the score.  People who find it easy to sit still and concentrate tend to do better on IQ tests than people who are fidgety and find it difficult to sit still.\n\nMy most important piece of advice about it would be to not spend too much time worrying about it and just work hard and do the best you can in school and in life.

It is called IQ,but it is not followed by any units. It is an integer,thats it.

that wasn't really a question . . . \n\nBut I'll take a stab at it. IQ is normalized periodically around a mean between 100 and 110 and a standard deviation of about 15 (in the USA) and 24 (in Europe).

IQ is only a measure of the capacity to solve problems. Knowledge is how much one knows.  IQ can be coupled with Knowledge to show understanding.  Kids do not have the knowledge that their teachers do.

IQ and the GPA is a indicator of your ability to solve well defined problems, if you focus all your attention there you will not be as able to solve "real" problems, problems that don't have easy answers.

intelligence means you can solve a complicated problem.\n\nwisdom means you know which problem to solve.

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.
