is an IQ score of 113 good does it mean im smart?

Answer 1

What? Are you stupid? 113 is a good score.

Answer 2

Your score is slightly above average

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.

Half of the population have IQ’s of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ’s and 25% have lower IQ’s:

IQ, Description, % of Population:

130+, Very Superior, 2.2%
120-129, Superior, 6.7%
110-119, High Average, 16.1%
90-109, Average, 50%
80-89, Low Average, 16.1%
70-79, Borderline, 6.7%
Below 70, Extremely Low, 2.2%

Apparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation.

140- Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.

130- Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)

120- School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.

110- Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians.

100+ Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers.

100- Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers.

90- Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters.

Answer 4

Well, to be honest with you, a 113 is only a little above average. You probably have the average intelligence of people who are about one year older than you; However, if you took an authentic IQ test, and did not bother to turn the results around and look on the backside for a score evaluation, but instead tried to ask everybody on Yahoo, then you have the common sense of a chimp.

Answer 5

Did you take a 'Mensa' test or a standardized school test? It really is dependent on the outcome. Different IQ tests use different criteria. Some used timed tests, some use just questions. On the whole, I think it is rubbish. I have an IQ of 142 and I am only book smart. When it comes to real life, I am slow to pick up on stuff and I fumble in social settings. It's not what you have, it's what you do with it.

Answer 7

A genuinine IQ of 113 means you are smarter than average (100) - but what have you done with your IQ lately?
DOctors and LAwyers have IQ in the range of 135-145; College proffessors and PH.Ds 145-155; Nasa scientists and Nobel laurets in the range of 165-185.

Answer 8

If you don't know, chances are you didn't take a professional test but, instead, one online. In that case the score means nothing. If it was a professional test a score of 113 would be at the high end of average.

Answer 9

All IQ tests are biased.

But in general, 100 is average. and i think above 150 is required for MENSA. You're average, nothing wrong with that.

Answer 10

It means you are above average but barely and probably took some lame internet IQ test which doesnt count
