IQ has nothing to do with age. If your IQ is 120 now it was probably always was 120 and always will be 120 unless you have some sort of illness or accident that affects your mental capacity.

The average score in the United States is 100 with a standard deviation of 15. About two-thirds of Americans have a score between 85 and 115. You are a little above that average group. You scored better than about 85% of Americans.

But did you take an online test or a real test with a psychologist? Online tests cannot be trusted. To prove this to myself, the other day I took 6 different online IQ tests and got 6 different scores ranging from 96-154. Try some different tests and see how different your scores can be. If you’re really interested in what your IQ really is, find a psychologist that is trained to administer IQ tests.

If you did it online then offered you a printout of your score complete with a certificate as proof (all of which you have to pay for) i wouldnt read too much into your score!

i was quite surprised to find that i had an IQ of 155!! then i thought about it and laughed, a fool and their money are easily parted ^_^

however if you did an official IQ certified test (i like the bbc test the nation) then congratulations your smarter than the average bear!

For your age it means that you are of above average intelligence for your age group. The IQ test is a basic test of literary, mathematical and logical ability. It’s designed to only cover aspects of your mind that don’t require prior knowledge (so nothing like history, science, etc.), meaning it is meant to more accurately reflect a person’s overall intelligence as oppose to their knowledge. It is demonstrated as a median of the average intelligence of the population. 100 is considered to be the “average” and is the score that most people would come up to. Lower score represent a lower-than-average intelligence and higher scores represent a higher-than-average intelligence. In general IQ is on a standard bell-curve graph (see sources). A score of 120 would put you in a band with approximately 15% of the population, and above ~70% of the population in terms of intelligence.

so, as your above it, then yes that is good, also, the national average is for adults, so, yes, that is good.
