What does a 122 IQ score mean?

The average IQ is by definition 100; scores above 100 indicate a higher than average IQ and scores below 100 indicate a lower that average IQ. Theoretically, scores can range any amount below or above 100, but in practice they do not meaningfully go much below 50 or above 150.

In percentile terms, it means that IQ is higher than that of about 93 people out of every hundred tested.

If you were a child of, say, 10 years old, it would mean that you have a mental age of about 12. But mental age loses its meaning for teenagers and adults.

It's good............. the I.Q test has been in question for many years. Basically, Einstien had a 168 and mentally retarded people range from 10 to 25! 122 is above average but just shy of genious!!!!!!!!!

That's a decent IQ. That means you are above average intelligence, but not a genius.
