Oh for heaven's sakes - 100 is the average IQ.
The 'Test the nation' TV show said that the average IQ for the UK was 110, which is utter bunkum, because by definition then it becomes 100!
Whew - sorry about the rant.
Anyway, about IQ tests, please be aware that, as far as I know, they were developed for people of school going age and as such need different interpretation after the age of 18.
Anyone who has an IQ test after the age of 25 will get inaccurate results due to reaction times slowing, although their accuracy should increase.
150 is supposed to be genius.

The median age of the entire group was twenty years, and the age having the greatest number of cases was eighteen. Seventeen and seven-tenths per cent were less than eighteen years old, and 55.2 per cent were less than twenty-one years. Relating this to the intelligence, we find that the younger they are, the brighter they are, as shown in the following summary:
From 15 to 19 years average I.Q. is 92.0
From 20 to 24 years average I.Q. is 90.5
From 25 to 29 years average I.Q. is 85.2
From 30 to 34 years average I.Q. is 74.0
35 and over average I.Q. is 63.6
Interpreting these figures, we made the deduction that many of the brighter girls are delinquent because of the impulsiveness or emotional instability of youth, and need only the sobering effect of years to solve their problems. If this is so, does it not seem that the ideal social work would be to get in touch with these girls before they became delinquent? The facts seem to show also that so far as learning from age is concerned, the feebleminded remain forever young and therefore in constant need of supervision and protection.

It works on an index of 100. Anyone with a score below 100 is below the expected 'norm'.
IQ of 130+ = Very superior ----- 2.2% of Population
IQ of 120-129 = Superior----------6.7% of Population
IQ of 110-119 = High average----16.1% of Population
IQ of 90-109 = Average----------50% of Population
IQ of 80-89 = Low average----16.1% of Population
IQ of 70-79 = Borderline--------6.7% of Population
Below 70 = Extremely low---2.2% of Population

The average IQ for anyone is 100. Age shouldn't matter too much unless you've fried your brain with drugs over the years.
