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

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.

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! :)

Marilyn Savant has an I.Q. score of 228, the highest ever recorded for an adult. Savant's parents decided to withhold the information from the public in order to avoid commercial exploitation and to assure a normal childhood. Bored with college life at Washington University, she left after two years to launch a career in stocks, real estate, and investments. Her real interest had always been writing but realized that she first needed a financial base to support herself. Within five years, her personal investments afforded her the financial independence to become a full-time writer. Savant wrote novels, short stories, and magazine/newspaper pieces, mostly political satire, under a pseudonym. Savant's attempt at anonymity ended in 1985 when the Guinness Book of World Records obtained her I.Q. test scores from the Mega Society, a group whose membership is restricted to those with only the highest I.Q. scores. The members' I.Q. has to be higher than 99.999%. Savant's I.Q. score was more than double the person with normal intellect and 88 points higher than the genius level. Savant has published books like I've Forgotten Everything I Learned In School and Hard Facts About Its Absence In Our Lives.

Umm, you mean more then 100 points?  The IQ test is ranked by points, up to 200.

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.  The range from 85 to 115 is considered low average to high average.  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\nI hope this helps.  Here is a link that discusses IQ scores in more detail.

I don't think we'll ever know.  High IQ does not equal fame or "success."\n\nIf you're talking about the most intelligent popular person, most would say Einstein.  I think he was one really smart guy, but come on...he had one big idea.  He was a one-hit wonder.  Granted, it was a BIG idea, but I don't think that physicists needed E=mc^2 to figure out the atomic bomb or atomic fission.\n\nI think that most individuals would not qualify as "most intelligent."  I think you'll have to look at a society for that one.  The most intelligent society, I think, would be the Western world, including Japan and others that are of a similar perspective.  They made great strides in human rights, technology, world peace, and charity.  And these things were accomplished by many great leaders, and the society that agreed with them.

Intelligence.  People who are IQ 185 +  It just amazes.  I am so jealous of those people.\nB

On an IQ test scores between 85 and 115 are within the average range, low average to high average, so a score of 100 could be considered exactly average.  There is no perfect score for an IQ test.  \n\nThe most commonly used test is the Wechsler.  The Stanford Binet is another one.

I don't think that there is one "best" IQ test. The best test really depends on what you want to use the results for.\n\nIn my view the best single IQ test is the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, third edition. It gives a reliable global score (IQ) but gives lots of information about cognitive processing skills.\n\nThe Wechsler Scales (one for adults, one for children) are fine if all you want is an overall IQ score. Not as good for breaking down different skills.\n\nThere are a bunch of shorter tests that can give you an overall IQ estimate, but they aren't used very often when you want a "serious" IQ test for a serious purpose.\n\nWrite again or edit your question with the specific reason that you are interested in IQ tests and perhaps we can come up with a more specific answer.

Dang mom your daughter is smart!! Yes, that is an excellent IQ for an adult!! Einstein was considered to "only" have an IQ of about 160. So your daughter can be the next Einstein. To know more about IQ's check out this website!

IQ tests vary within a range, generally- I have scored anywhere from 160-172, but I dont think it's a very broad measure of intelligence.  It would be equivalent to measuring high jump and sprint speed as a way to guage athletic ability in basketball.  It is related to intelligence, and perhaps gives a measure of potential, but isnt the thing itself.  I beleive that social intelligence, the ability to understand others, communicate your ideas and feelings, and achieve social goals are a better measure of the most important kinds of intelligence-and these are not measured in an IQ test.  The second most important ability I would rate would be judgement and long-term planning, also not measured in IQ tests.  There are a number of disorders, including FAS, in which the person's measurable IQ seems to be little effected, but they have very poor judgement and social connection.  If IQ were that important, then the mose successful, powerful, and joyful people would be those with the highest IQs, and studies have shown that these people generally fall in the range of 120-140.

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

It depends what test and what kind of scores they generate.\n\nSome publishers like using percentiles, T-scores, or the most common, Standard Scores. The highest Standard Scores on a "real" IQ test usually do not go higher than 145.\n\nHere are the following standard score descriptions.\n\nlower than 69 Mentally retarded range\n79 to 70 borderline\n80 to 89 below average\n90 to 109 is average\n110 to 119 High Average\n120 to 129 Superior\n130+ Gifted range

Rather on the high end. But remember... IQ doesn't mean you are smart - it only measures your potential. If you don't use it, it doesn't mean a thing.
