  1. Assuming that you are talking about a professionally supervised test such as the Weschler-Bellevue, that means that your IQ is higher than 96 percent of the population. On the internet you are going to find that most individuals responding to questions about IQ scores are going to tell you that a score of 120 to 130 is only on the high side of average and that he or she has an IQ of 150 to 200.

    The reality is that standard IQ tests administered by psychologists generally have a ceiling of around 132, which is estimated to be the score of the top two percent of the population. Scores beyond this range require special testing and are spurious. The only people who REALLY score at or above 130 on IQ tests are people who are very familiar with IQ tests.

    IQ tests are not a very accurate measure of intelligence because any literate person who is familiar with them can score at the near genius level. Further, a brilliant person who is depressed or has dyslexia will score below average. Most historical examples of genius, such as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, never took IQ tests at all. Even Stephen Hawking, a member of Mensa at one time, has stated that people who brag about their IQs are losers.

    IQ 140+ = pathological liar

    IQ 130+ = 98th percentile

    IQ 128 - 130 = 97th percentile

    IQ 124 to 127 = 95th percentile (roughly)

    IQ 122 to 123 = 94th percentile (roughly)

    IQ 118 to 121 = 90th percentile (roughly)

    IQ 115 to 120 = 80th percentile (roughly)

    IQ 110 to 114 = 75th percentile (roughly)

    IQ 100 to 105 = 50th percentile (roughly)

    IQ 80 to 90 = 25th percentile (roughly)

    IQ 70 = 2nd percentile

    IQ below 70 = 1st percentile


  2. HOLY c**p, IQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE!!! Why can't people get that through their heads...

    Where did you get your test done? Was it online? Any online tests are garbage and unreliable.

    Anyway:

    100=average

    110=above average

    120=really smart

    130=genius

  3. 100 is average

  4. 127 is an average score...No biggie..IQ scores have nothing to do with motivation and willingness to improve.
