Answer 1

u are average intelligence don't grow so that's probably going to be all your life

Answer 2

iq doesnt change with age

Answer 3

Your I.Q. is calculated using your age.  Mine was 136 in high school.  126 is good.  My brother has an Electrical Engineering degree......      now he installs cable.

Find out what your good at now that pays well.  After your 30, and own a few houses you can go out and have alot more fun than having it early in life.

Answer 4

yes very good

Answer 5

it depends on the test you took. if you scored a 126 on a 150 or 250 point test, you would know the answer to this. however, it's also common practice to not tell children how they scored.

on many tests - most tests - 126 is average.

Answer 6

not sure...........i got 146 in kindergarden

Answer 7

That's good. 100 means that you're average for your age level, so anything above that means you're above average.  IQ is compared at a certain age level..  That is to say, a 12 yr old with 100 IQ and a 20 yr old with 100Q are both average for their respective age groups but you can't draw any conclusions about who is more intelligent.

Answer 8

your smarter than the average 12 year old kid. ^_^

Answer 9

Assuming that you took the Stanford-Binet IQ test, or one based on that test, 100 would be average, and 126 would be considered "gifted". 140 is the beginning of genius range.

This test was designed for children between the ages of 5 and 13 and the scoring reflects that. The scoring is based on your age, so IQ based on that type of test CAN change as you get older. The way that the Stanford-Binet test in scored is they take your "mental age" as determined by the test, divide it by your physical age, and multiply the result by 100. Therefor 100 would be average. The reason this test is not intended for older people and can have different results as you age is that the difference in cognitive ability between a 30 y/o and a 50 y/o person is not that different. Therefor even if you have superior capabilities for a 12 y/o, as you get older the score gets lower. There are other IQ tests that are geared towards adults, and so long as you take an age appropriate test, your score should remain fairly stable throughout your life.

So in conclusion, 126 is a perfectly respectable score and puts you in the "gifted" range certainly. I hope I've helped clarify things. :)

Answer 10

The iq tests you take online pale in comparison to a proper iq test issued by most commonly a psychologist which has multiple parts besides the common problem solving questions you see online (e.g. written portions). The average iq for anyone at any age is 100.
