It’s great, but it means nothing unless you have the day to day discipline to reach your dreams.

117 is extremely stable. you’re above basic. If this replaced right into a cyber web IQ try, i could forget approximately approximately it, because you incredibly desire a professional to attempt you in individual for precise outcomes. If this replaced right into a try concentrated on a professional, i could take a pair greater with different docs and use the conventional of the rankings. try rankings tend to selection, even nonetheless your IQ (theoretically) by no potential adjustments. Be happy you’re no longer at genius point…as you will discover from a number of those solutions, an incredible style of relatively intelligent peope additionally are relatively boastful.

Most people’s IQs are between 70 and 130. In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range. 68% of people score between 80 and 120. IQ simply measures your ability to assimilate information quickly and use that information in new or unknown situations. It can point to who will be will be more successful (and happier) as a college professor vs a bank manager vs a policeman vs a clerk. IQ can give a measure on how well someone works in teams – and with that, the more average the score, the more likely you’ll be able to function in a team (which is why Newton or Einstein were never known for their collaborations). IQ is an indicator, nothing more – and it certainly doesn’t predict how you’ll do in life.

There have been various classification systems for IQ.

Terman’s classification was (6):

IQ Range Classification

140 and over Genius or near genius

120-140 Very superior intelligence

110-120 Superior intelligence

90-110 Normal or average intelligence

80-90 Dullness

70-80 Borderline deficiency

Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness

It doesn’t tell me much. I ceased believing in I.Q. test results a long time ago, even though my little mum went around chortling about how one of my twin and I tested out as a genius, and she never said which one…

(Has to be the twin, grumble mumble…LOL, I’m way over that!) However after reading and hearing so much about how the tests are/were slanted only to a portion of our population, and as far as I know followed the ole Bell curve or some kind of comparison test for results, I tossed that baby out with the bath water.

If an I.Q. of 117 makes you feel self-confident at 16 yrs., and I don’t see why it shouldn’t… go for it! 117 sounds quite decent to me, especially since “they” may have made the tests a whole new ball game.

If you are answering questions on this site as well as asking, you’re doing okay! Though I guess it’s time for school. You’ll be fine. “Just build it and they will come”…(I’m trying to quote a movie I haven’t seen in years), trying to tell you to build self-confidence by liking what you do, + seeing it as honorable… and you’ll have friends among teachers and students alike.

It means you arent dumb, I have an IQ of over 130 but i’ve already finished college and am 22 years old. You have potential, but dont think you’re a genius or anywhere close to it because you arent. You are above average and thats pretty good for somebody your age. Excercise your brain and you can really be something, although there is a limit to what you can achieve and only your pursuit for excellence will get you there.

It tells me you have about normal IQ, nothing more nothing less. If on the other hand you would tell me that you can pull a car engine out and put it back without messing up, or you can figure complicated math problems in your head, then I would say you have a gift, but with only this information, you have potential, but no more or less than the average 16 year old, it will depend on how you apply yourself.

IQ Description % of Population

130+ Very superior 2.2%

120-129 Superior 6.7%

110-119 High average 16.1%

90-109 Average 50%

80-89 Low average 16.1%

70-79 Borderline 6.7%

Below 70 Extremely low 2.2%

so i guess your high average 🙂

An IQ does not mean you are necessarily smart. It means that you have a certain potential to be able to retrain a certain amount of information. That tells me, at 16, depending on your personal work habits, that you should finish high school with a 3.5 or better, and then head to a good 4 year college and use your given IQ a ride for its money studying something that you enjoy.

You are supposedly normal or very slightly above normal.

Your question also indicaed that you are curious and put more wirght on an IQ score than it deserves. Inellegence is defined as the ability to learn from and adjust to new situations.

Relax and you will do better.

First, did you take the test online? If you did, I would not go by that officially. They want you to visit their site. If you want to know the offical results, get a test at a school. Second, it is a little below mediam. Don’t worry about it though, IQ test are not used officailly that I know of.
