I'll be 15 in a few weeks and I took an IQ test. It said I have an IQ of 131. Is that good.?

Yes, you are very, very bright!  If you are organized and motivated you should be doing very well in school.  You may even be very bored and turned off by school.\n\nAsk your school counselor about taking advanced classes. Just remember just because you're bright does not mean you can skate through your classes.  A mind as bright as yours needs stimulation.  Try an advanced placement English class if you enjoy reading and writing.  Students who pass the AP classes in high school receive college level credit!  If you are good at math and have already passed geometry, look into an advanced placement math or science class.\n\nRemember, "A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste" - take honors and AP classes.  You will be challenged and might actually find school interesting and fun.

Well, scientifically, your I.Q. determines if you are classifed as 'genius' or not.  Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145. Yeah! I knew I was! :)

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).

Sure it is worth it if you are interested in that sort of thing and find it entertaining.  If you want to know where your score fits, the range of 85 to 115 is considered low average to  high average.  Obviously, higher than that is above average.  Over 130 is considered superior.  Keep in mind that any IQ test you do on line is not the same as a real IQ test.  The on  line tests tend to score higher.  \n\nThis link may help you.

From what I've read, he never took an IQ test. People estimate his IQ to be anywhere from 140-180.

IQ scores are a horrible way to judge intelligence.  However, an IQ score of 126 would be above average.

My IQ is 148.  Yes, I am not in the "normal" range, but I am still a "normal" human.  IQ is not how smart you are, IQ is your ability to learn new things, and then retain them.  For instance, I was putting brake fluid in the power steering fluid!  As for street smarts....forget it.  I am totally lost.  Different people are smarter in different areas.  I wouldn't worry too much about IQ.  It's just a number.

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!

No good without a degree a decent job and money. IQ is your ability to learn, it doesn't measure the amount of knowledge you have. \nTell me who knows more: a 60 year old woman who has seen war,  lived in two different countries, survived riots, had four children, worked five jobs and has talked to tens of thousands of people. Her IQ is 95.\nOr it it a 15 year old with an IQ of 170?\n\nMy IQ is about 140- different tests tell me different things but\nI have very little knowledge. This means that no person is able to amass all of the knowledge in the universe or even their own country. I can always learn.\nAny intelligent person realizes that they know very little in comparison with everything.\nAlso, to add to the comments to the mensa person. I do physical labor for "genius" types. You wouldn't believe how they judge people by looks. And, as far as being around "normal" people. My advice: Remove head from rectum.

Here are the average IQs I know (I took an IQ test the other day and the report i got gave me these averages):\n\nMales- 115\nFemales- 109\nAges 18-25 -- 113\nAges 26-35-- 114\nAges 36-45 -- 114\nAges 46-55 -- 113\nAges 56-65 --112\nAges 66-75 --109\nAges 76-100 --106\nUnited States- 112\nCanada - 113\nUK - 112\nAustralia - 115\nIndia - 114\nPhilippines - 106\nNew Zealand - 113\nSouth Africa - 111\nPakistan- 108\nEgypt - 110\nHong Kong - 116\nIreland - 113\nMexico - 109\n\nIf you average out all of the countries listed you get about 112.

First of all I would wonder what test you took to get those results. If you took a test from a psychiatrist they should have analyzed the results with you. If you took a test on the Internet I would be a bit skeptical about how accurate it is. But if it is accurate you are very smart!\n\n"IQs of 132 or above may join Mensa upon presentation of qualifying test results. Individuals with IQs of 137+ are eligible to join organizations such as TOPS (Top One Percent Society). Those with IQs of 150+ qualify for membership in the Triple-Nine Society and the One-in-a-Thousand (OATH) Society."\n\nIQ results can vary up to 20 points either way on any given day based on mood/etc. I would suggest seeking another test and take the median of the two result. Next look into a club of similarly smart people. Maybe you might want to ask for a raise once you confirm your a genius. haha!\n\nGood luck! (and Congrats)

The standard is 100.  Genius is around 160.  You are above average.

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.
