IQ test question?

Question

OK,I have an IQ of 118 at 12 years old.Is that good or bad?What level is it?

Answer 1

I give IQ tests as part of my job.  I work as a school psychologist.  A score of 118 is considered high average (110-120).  That is a good score and would tell me that you are a bright individual who has teh ability to easily earn A's and B's in your classes as long as you don't have some type of a learning disability which you can get help for.  In regarsd to your age being 12, it really does not make your score any more or less impressive.  The way the scoring is set up, you should have the same IQ score, give or take a few points, for the rest of your life.  A score of 118 at 12 years old means that should have a score of or around 118 at 40 years old.

If this test was actually an IQ test that was given to you by a professional then it is a legit score and you should be proud.  None of the tests online are valid and actually only may give a rough estimate of one of the four aspects of intelligence.

Answer 2

Answer 4

Your IQ is what it is.

It will be the same throughout your life.

100 is considered average.

50% of people have IQ scores between 90 and 110

2.5% of people are very superior in intelligence (over 130)

2.5% of people are mentally deficient / impaired / retarded (under 70)

0.5% of people are near genius or genius (over 140)

Answer 5

If you are evaluated on the same basis as adults of any age, I would say that your score is excellent. But at any age, including yours, performance is far more important than a mere stastical abstraction. Having brains means nothing if you don't do anything with them.

Answer 6

That's above average, although test scores and levels are sometimes different from test to test.
