All IQ is is a comparison to others the same age as you.

It is your intelligence-age divided by your age.

For example, if you are 20 years old, but you are as smart as a 30 year old, your IQ would be 30/20 = 150.

If you are 15 and you are as smart as a 15 year old, your IQ is 15/15 = 100.

As you can see, IQ is not a good measure of intelligence because it assumes that you get smarter as you age, which may not be the case.

Your IQ of 93 means that you are slightly below the average person of your age.

But don’t take the IQ test seriously, I consider it obsolete. Plus, those online tests aren’t reliable at all.

I.Q. tests are a bunch of bull. The score can change depending upon when you take the test. I mean how much rest you have had and many other factors go into any standardized tests. I am not saying this because I feel that I have a low I.Q. mine is 140 which is above average, which if I remember correctly is about 100. You are not low, the only way to take an I.Q. test is to have a professional give you one at it is a pain in the but and mine lasted for 4 days! An I.Q. test is not a measure of how smart a person is, or what they can achieve in life. The fact that you all took one on-line is fun and all but it means relatively little. Just look at it as a fun exercise.

Online IQ test are merely estimates of what your IQ actually is. Sometimes estimates are estimated correctly and sometimes can be off drastically. Think about getting an “estimate” on a car repair, most of the time the actual payment ends up being a lot more than the estimate. However the scores do indicate that you have missed several questions.

If having a higher IQ test score makes you feel better, try to study and improve on areas you felt you didnt quite understand. As IQ scores will fluctuate as you advance through your education and will most likely decline after finishing college.

The average IQ is 100 and most people fall within a range of 90 to 110. A score of 138 is considered a high score…but there are people much higher. Having said all this I must tell you that IQ just shows potential. There are plenty of people under 100 that do very well in life and then there are people with very high IQs that do very little with their life. The only thing is that a low score just means that those people have to work a little harder to understand things that’s all.

If it were a legitimate IQ test it would be just a bit on the low side of average, but still in the average range. By definition, Average is 100, and the average range is 90 – 110. However, the kind of tests that are online are not valid or legitimate, so don’t be the least bit concerned. Whatever questions they are asking, they are just for fun.

Usually, IQ scale is always normalized to where 100 is the average using a standard bell curve. So, 93 is below average.

I would recommend you take an actual IQ, which is given verbally by a test proctor. Those online ones are to brief to size up your IQ and probably don’t use any of the standard methods.

The final I observed the national time-honored replaced into approximately ninety 8, so which you’re positive. the element to keep in mind is that the try obtains its superb effects between people who’re secretarial susceptible. i could be keen to guess you’re so plenty greater appropriate at some issues to the element of genius. do no longer sweat it nonetheless, IQ is barely a try.

Well, you shouldn’t really pay attention to these online tests because they aren’t always true…but one thing for sure is that your friend is REALLY smart…but just keep in mind that people who have an IQ of 80 or lower are basically mentally ill…

many iq tests online are not accurate (many actual iq tests are not accurate)

93 is supposed to be below average.
