yes it is

40 - 54 Severely challenged (Less than 1% of test takers)

55 - 69 Challenged (2.3% of test takers)

70 - 84 Below average

85 - 114 Average (68% of test takers)

115 - 129 Above average

130 - 144 Gifted (2.3% of test takers)

145 - 159 Genius (Less than 1% of test takers)

160 - 175 Extraordinary genius

Answer 2

Actually, 100 is average.  85-115 is the range in which the majority of the population falls into.  At 121, you're smarter than the average bear!

Answer 3

yah nice. im 13 and i got 123 on that =D    its about average i thnk

Answer 4

100 is the average mark for an IQ test, so yes 121 is a good score, but I don't think IQ tests are the best way to measure intelligence or even that relevant at all.

Answer 5

i took that test a few years ago n got a 136... aparently 100-120 is average so ur slightly above average lol =]

Answer 6

well 100 is average and you need 158 or over to get into MENSA.

Depends what test it was. Was it the Cattell test? There are different ones.

Answer 7

100 is the average to make the test they just put a bell curve with 100 directly in the middle so that is where most people fall its really complicated to measure intelligence, basically its measured by how much you deviate from average. but the online tests are rubbish, terribly inaccurate, also IQ tests can be +/- what they give you some are up to +/- 30 so you can be really far off.you can actually go to centres to get an official one
