5 points of what they call genus so that is really really good and you probably just misread one or two of the questions out of boredom.

Average is supposed to be 100, but its more like 110 in the USA. 125 would be well above average, while 150 and over is genius level. However, since you took the test online and not with a real psychologist, its not a real IQ test. Don't set any store by it.

You generally speaking need an IQ of around 120 + to get in to university. 150 + and you are talking serious smart. Einstein was probably over 200. But there are an array of tests and some aren't very accurate. The Cantrell test the usual one. I score at 150+ but I don't really think it's accurate. You can prepare for that test. Buy that Mensa magazine - if they still publish it and do the tests in there for a while and it'll boost your score by at least 10 points, maybe 20. Although, the ability to spell the word, that, counts as a measure of intelligence too. lol

IQ tests results have been shown to be heavily influenced by cultural background, age, genetics, etc... and are therefore no longer considered an accurate measure of intelligence.
A very complex subject. See this link for more information. Please read the entire article before deciding.

Thats average. 160 and above is genius.
My test came in at 161 the first time, so i think its all BS. The second time i did the test it was 191 so wouldn't believe those tests at all, because i make run on sentences and can't spell for the life of me.

Average is 100, except in White House where average is 10.

iq tests prove nothing more than that you are good at doing iq tests, just like being good at sudoku doesn't mean you are a mathamatician

No offense, but someone with a 125 I.Q. should know how to spell and use proper punctuation. They should also know if their score is good or bad.

In the words of Victor Meldrew, "I don't believe it."
You must be living on Fantasy Island!
