Comes from the Latin "Aequanimitas"= "equanimity" (or according to merriam webster "evenness of mind under stress," with a secondary connotation of "balanced.")  Comes from the earlier Latin phrase "aequo animo" which means "even mind."\n\n\nThe "-ta" ending plus "te" ending adds the command "you be" to the root noun.  \n\nIn short, it's pronounced "e-qua-ni-mi-TA-te" and the whole means something like "Be even-minded."

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.

I.Q.  stands for intelligence quotient, a number that is a measurement of a person's ability to learn and retain knowledge, not the amount of knowledge they retain.  Most experts agree that there are a number of variables that can help determine a person's IQ including genetics, disease, and nutrition during early formative years of the brain (up to years age 3-5).  It is also believe by many that the amount and type of intellectual activity during these years affects a child's potential to learn and adult IQ.  Finally as a child and as a adult  learning ability is often effected by health, disease, and psychological dysfunction, such as chronic fatigue, ADHD, and Alzheimer's.   These are generally viewed as inhibiting factors lowering a person's ability to fulfill their potential, rather than a lack of potential.\n\nIn closing depending on your personal point of view, of gain vs released potential, raising an individuals IQ is or is not possible.  During developmental years it can be released or raised up to a person's genetic limitation, and during later years correcting issues with ones health may result in a "increase". in ones ability to learn.  However a person that is not suffer from some debilitation (however mild) should not expect to raise their IQ.

Intelligence is the mental capacity to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. \n\nArtificial intelligence (abbreviated AI, also some times called Synthetic Intelligence ) is defined as intelligence exhibited by an artificial entity. Such a system is generally assumed to be a computer.

average iq is 100 , it is measured and adjusted to your age. So, I.Q. of 120 is above normal.

It means you are very smart. You should do well in school, without struggling with too much boredom or frustration. You also have the smarts to do well in life, and can pretty much take on any career you wish.\n\nThe average score is 100.\n\n64% of all people fall between 85 and 115, or "average." \n\nPeople between 70 and 85 are "borderline," or slower learners but NOT retarded.\n\nPeople between 115 and 129 are "superior," or faster learners who can do extremely well, yet usually without feeling bored that often, in the regular classroom.\n\nOnly 2% of all people score below 70 (Mentally Retarded).\n\nOnly 2% of all people score above 130 (Gifted/Genius).

There are TWO IQ measurements. For children, IQ is the ratio between "intellectual age" and "real age". For example, IQ 150 means that a 10-year old can think like a 15-year old.\n\nFor adults, IQ is normalized to 100 by definition, meaning that 100 IS average. This means that if most people respond correctly to 15 out of 50 questions in a test, 15/50 is made equal to IQ 100 (the test is "calibrated"). \n\nThe IQ distribution is normal (gaussian, bell curve) and most people (95%) are expected to have an IQ of mean (=100) plus or minus 2 standard deviations (SD). This works for all normal distributions and tells us that if your IQ is 100+3*SD, for example, you are in the top 1/1000 of the population. The standard deviation varies between tests but is generally held to be equal to 15 IQ points. \n\nTo sum this up, 95% of people are roughly between 100+/-2*SD = 100+/-2*15 putting them in the 70-130 bracket. Anything below 70 is quite problematic and is classified as mental retardation. Anything above 130 is quite rare, but bear in mind that most tests on the internet are not designed to reliably discriminate between high IQs. \n\nI tend to take "genius" results with a bit of salt (like penis measurements, many people will exaggerate). I also tend to think that other qualities, like patience, resolve and persistence are more important in the long term. Most jobs are not limited by IQ and you can get very very far with a modest IQ of 110-120, for example.

Intelligence Quotient.

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.

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

Here is the correct answer to your question. I would define smartness as how well a person does in their own enviorment. Example, you have some poeple who are street smart, you have some people who are book smart. Being smart at something, doesn't make you a smart person. Having all around smarts would make you a intelligent person.\nwhat do u thnk abt my answer? boxnndatol22@yahoo.com

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?
