The first page said I was 120 which I think is too high I'm fourteen and get mostly B's. The second page that had my "free sample report" said 91. How does that work and what is the IQ scale? What does 120 make me? What does 91 make me?

The free sample page doesn't show your true IQ. It's just a sample. That score isn't yours. 120 is not an odd score for someone who gets B's as a 14 year old. 100 is the standard. You are 20 points above. Congratulations. :) I find online IQ test rather accurate myself. I took the one you are talking about. I took a culture/education fair IQ test at high iq society. The results were only seperated by .746%. Generally, genius level IQ starts at around 160. I am not in this range either. Everyone else is pretty much run-of-the-mill so to speak. But, not all with high IQs are genius's. In fact, few are. Creativity plays a large role and makes the difference between the wannabes and the "Einsteins."

The on-line IQ tests are just fun but have no true relevance on how smart or ignorant you may be. If you take an IQ test through the Mensa Society, let us know the results.
But FYI, I know some really smart people that have a high IQ that can't figure their way out of a wet paper sack in the real world, so don't be to hung up on any of those numbers. It is okay to be average. Cheers.

It really depends on what their standard deviation is. Typically it's twenty points. The average IQ score is 100, so 10 points higher and 10 points lower would be 90 - 110 is still considered average. One standard deviation above that is 110 - 130. Anything above 130 is considered genius. Tickle may not use the same standard deviation system, but it's probably pretty close.
I don't know why you got two different numbers.
UPDATE:
Below average (slow) is less than 70. And I agree, Internet IQ tests are for fun only and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

120 is above average but not that impressive even my sister got 132 and she's 12. I'm guessing the first report is your IQ in a specific field such as spatial reasoning and the second page is your overall IQ.

One is for your left brain and the other for your right. A 120 makes you average class if you're an adult. Your IQ changes with age,
experience, and education.
Just kidding about the first sentence.

Maybe they were giving you your blood pressure?
The IQ test isn't really a very good way to judge how smart, successful or well-adjusted you are or will be in the future. It's also biased towards white people who have grown up in America with a standard education.

When I was 11 my IQ was 132. Give yourself the benefit of a doubt and take the higher score. Or ask them why they sent you 2 scores, and which one is the accurate one?

120 makes you slightly above average.
91 is below average.
someone with less than 80 would be considered "slow"

120 is average.
Tickle has two IQ tests and I got different scores on both, so I'm just as confused as you are :)

Online IQ tests are not very accurate. I wouldnt trust the results.
