I just took a free online IQ test at http://www.iqtest.com/. The results said that I made a 130 on it. I am only 16 years old and this is the first time I have ever taken an IQ test. Is it anygood? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

  1. Yah! That is really good!

    Average is 100 and Einstiens was 165 so you're right in between.


  2. First off, falling right in between the average and Einstein is meaningless.  The percentile rank does not change in a geometric pattern.  This means Einstein could rank at 99.9 percent with a 165 and you could have a 98 with a 130.  You could have a 200 and you would still just be 99.9.  

    Secondly, you can't compare yourself to Einstein since you aren't taking the same test graded in the same manner.  What matters is the scoring system for the test you take and how you rank against others who took it.  A raw score is virtually meaningless.  

    However, most tests aim for an average of 100.  Below 70 is considered mental disability.  130 is good provided the test is valid.  A free online test is not valid.

  3. taking that you took it from an online test the score is not very accurate because many online places give high scores just that you buy their stuff so i i where ou i would go to a proper place

    (not online) and see what it really is.
