Need help with IQ tests?

Question

I'm 14 years old and just took a free IQ test and it said that my IQ was 84. Is that good? I don't think it is. But it said that you had to read and answer questions within 20 sec. or you get points taken off. And well I'm a slow reader so if I read somthing fast I have to read it again to understand what it says. Please help me out.

Answer 1

No, that's not a good IQ.  But it doesn't matter.  Internet IQ tests are not accurate.  They don't agree with official tests or each other.  So don't worry about it.

Answer 2

84 is below average. If that IQ test says you have to finish it before 20 seconds then it may be too hard for you. Try searching for a different IQ test and see if you score better.

The scale is:

90-100 Below Average

100-110 Average

120-130 Above Average

140+ Gifted/Genius
