Where does a 150 IQ place me in comparison to others?

Well done! You're in the top 1% of the population, just like me. The average person is 100, Einstein is thought to have been between 140 and 160, and Kylie Minogue is around 90. Be proud of your mind - and use it to the full!

That depends on the I.Q test ,since they are different in\nthe concept of calculating the I.Q .\nMost of them using a scale of 200 points ,in this case 100\npoint represent the average of the people even 90 or 110 \nstill in the average ,125 to 140 you are high intelligent \nmore than 140 ,talented.You can score up to 200.

iqtest.com used to be very inaccurate (my iq score on there was 40 points off my real iq) but thanks to a few recent updates it's much more accurate.  it's still not perfectly accurate but it's close enough.

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.

I think average is around 120 pts.  I guess anything under Mensa's 130 pt minimum entry qualifies for average.\n\nIQ changes with age, life experience, how much you exercise your brain, i.e. are you in school when you score, do you calculate, design, or solve puzzles regularly, know how to take IQ tests, or are a native to the testing country.

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 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.

IQ scores are normallized so that the mean (average) is 100 and the standard deviation is 16.  Also, IQ scores are normally distributed.  So, using this information, you are 1.69 standard deviations above average, which puts you at the 95th percentile, meaning that your IQ score is as good or better than 95% of all IQ scores.

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.

It's above average, so yes.\n\nBut if it was done on an Internet IQ test, then be wary as they're not always accurate. But with your above average IQ I'm sure you'll know that :)

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

I believe it is between 80-120 for normal with 80 being slightly retarded. most people come in betweer 90-120. At least this is what I was taught in my psychology class.

follow your heart. if it is in the right place you will know what to do. and dont let you brain interfere with what your heart says. you may have the highest iq in history, but your heart knows best.

I've taken a couple of online IQ tests (I don't remember if I've done the iqtest.com) and my scores seemed to be off from my 'real' scores (as of 2nd grade) by about 10 points in either direction.  Ten points is actually less than the standard deviation on an official IQ test (between 15 and 25 points, depending on the test), but may be the difference between the 25th and 50th or 50th and 75th percentile.\n\nEven 'real' IQ tests are not really very acurated measures of intelligent.  They test vocabulary (which is very much a reflection of education, and very much not a reflection of ability), and not creativity (which is probably the most important aspect of intellectual ability - accuracy is worthless without originality!).\n\nBTW, I generally score between about 125 and close to 140 on those things.

145+ is borderline genius and 160+ Is genius. Below 80 is considered socially retarded. You can do an online search for Intelligent Quotient ( IQ) and you can not only see different scores and their determining factors. but you can take several sample tests. I wouldnt take just one and live by that score as different tests are rated differently. I took 3 and then took the avereage of the scores to guestimate what my IQ is.

Yes, it is absolutely fine.  It puts you on the high end of the average range.  The scores 85 to 115 are low average to high average.  However, an IQ score is just that - a number.  It is  not who you are.  Much more important than the number is what you do with it.

100 is middle of the road (IQ's are rated 0 to 200). However, in my experience, most Americans have an IQ around 6, so you're doing quite well.
