In a standard IQ test 100 is considered average, with 50% of the population falling within 90 to 109. Scores ranging from 110 to 119 (16.1% of the population) are considered “High average” so a score of 118 would be on the high end the high average group. You also have to remember that an IQ test is nothing more than a rough estimate of academic intelligence. Your score puts you (statistically at least) higher than 88 to 90% of the population in terms of IQ scores which are only one estimate of intelligence.

first of all you are not dumb nomatter what anyone ever tells you. An IQ test isnot designed to tell you if you are dumb or smart it is designed to determine which areas of intelligence you excell at. The people who score extremely low like 80 are disabled and still not dumb. The word dumb means you can not talk so for anyone to use the word dumb when talking about intelligence really needs to practice being dumb. I also found that the more you take the test the lower or higher your score will get. That is only because you are in different states of mind each time you take it and will always see something differently than you did the last time Try it if you don’t believe me.

Urm, actually thats a slightly above average IQ . An average IQ is 100-110.. 135+ is genius … ex; someone with a 167 IQ is a genius.. While someone with a iq below 60 = mentally retarded.

there are different scales, and even different schools of thought on how well iq tests actually work.

look at the wikipedia page about IQ standards, it’ll explain things pretty well.

ps-with the spelling and the caps and all i’d have to say you’re a lot smarter than most of the teenagers here.

IQ is a silly, outdated metric of intelligence, so don’t put too much stock into it. 100 is usually the average.

You are average, but don’t think of that as an excuse to get average grades! Everyone’s smart in their very own field; God made us that way!

that’s not too high; you aren’t stupid, but at the same time, youare not all that bright either. 170 is considered damned smart; 140 is considered smarter than average. 120 is average. 110 is “starting to get dumb”; so you’re not quite a dumb blonde, but not all that on “top of things” either.

No its not low. You are still young. 70 or lower is considered mentally retarted and you are far from that.
