Here's the ranges for the WechslerIntelligence tests.
Very superior 130+
Superior 120-129
High Average 110-119
Average 109-90
Low Average 80-89
Borderline 70-79
Extremely Low 69 and below
To get the most accurate estimate of intelligence, you really need to meet with a psychologist and have an IQ test done. To be honest, I have never met anyone with an IQ less than 130 on an online test. I think they're all rigged to stroke your ego.

Average iq is 100.
75 is the range for retardation.
130 is "Highly intelligent"
With 140 I believe being genius.
Don't take any IQ test online, they aren't accurate.
there is no highest because it's on a bell curve. After 160, you are getting to the top .5% of the world. But it could technically go on. I believe the highest ever recorded is somewhere in the 220s.
Lowest could go down to 0 depending on how mentally handicapped a person is. I work with people whose IQ's are in the 20's and 30's.

Keep in mind, that if you take an IQ test, that you are only testing your skills in math and language (and maybe science (not too sure what an average IQ test covers)) in written form. Don't use your score to flaunt or punish...there are many other areas of basic intelligences NOT covered in an IQ test! There are other intelligence tests available that can cover some of the other areas.

The highest recorded was 240. Don't know the lowest. The average is 100. 130 is considered high. Anything over 150 is genius. Mine happens to be 146, true story. Doesn't make people better or worse.

100 is average w/ a std dev. of 15 you do the math. But all I.Q. test are standardized so it may not be what you are expecting. To take a real I.Q. teat you will need a psychologist a bundle of cash and some free time. Then the result take some time and vary depending on the Dr. and their interpretations of things. There are also different I.Q. test that can be taken. Do some research b/4 going into a costly endeavor, chances are that you do not need a test to tell you how smart you are.

Einstein had a record of about 240, and that's off the scale.
How can a dimwit come up with a higher scale a 130, if his/her brain can't reach beyond the limits of Narrow-mindedness?
There are no limitations, and alot of people only use about 10% of their brain.
