I think there are a few different versions of the test, but as far as I know, 100 is average, and anything over 130 is considered genius....

Are those really accurate??

Alos does your IQ change over time?? I had an IQ test done in elementary school, would it still be the same??

I don't think those online tests are totally accurate. The only accurate test is one given by a pyschologist or some other trained professional who can correctly administer the test and intrepret the results.

According to the online test I should be at a university somehwere pontificating on the meaning of life!!! I scored 158!!!

Being a psychologist, I can tell you that the tests on line aren't really accurate. A real IQ test can only be given to you by someone who knows how to do it and the stuff they test is completely different from whats on the internet tests. What is considered normal is dependent on what test you are given, but generally anywhere from 89-109 is normal or average. Hope this helps....

online tests are pretty bogus...


the standard deviation of IQ is 15 points...so average would be 85-115...above average 115-130...130-145...145-160 - genius...if it is a true bell curve... then there should be VERY few people in the 145-160 (1.5-2% of population - if I remember my statistics right) and a MINUTE percentage over 160
