You typed a very good question, - you should be proud of yourself!
Just kiddin'
There's like 5 different concepts of IQ.
Raw knowledge that you already have
Ability to learn (quickly)
Intuitiveness
Inter-personal ability.
etc.
If you think your behind on your knowledge base, or logic, or reasoning, then you can try to improve. But this really isn't a reason to loose sleep.
After everything is said and done, - do the best you can, that's all anybody can ask. And in the end, gifts are allocated by God himself, - go take it up with him.
Peace... the final frontier.
BTW... If IQ had to anything to do with anything, - then Bush wouldn't be president... or is the voters with the IQ problem??

Having an IQ of 94 is nothing to be ashamed of. An IQ of 94 is in the average range. Just to put it in perspective, approximately 68% of the population has an IQ somewhere between 85 and 115. Whoever gave you the score should have interpreted it for you.

An IQ score of 94 is in the Average range. The Average range goes from 90 to 110. This is where most people in the world fall if given an IQ test. Please note that IQ scores can fluctuate 5-7 points on any given day. Please also note that the IQ test given must be standarized and administered by a licensed professional (internet IQ tests are not always valid). I give IQ tests nearly three times a week and if having an IQ of 94 is shameful, well then most of the world will be living in disappointment.

You have an absolutely average, in the median range IQ like 98% of the people in the world. Nothing to be ashamed of. I know people with an IQ of 130+, but they don't have any common sense in life, so the number doesn't mean much. Actually, the IQ is only really good for determining how well a person can do in school / in academic work. It doesn't determine how well you can do in life. So quit beating yourself up, lots of people would kill for a 94 IQ.

An IQ score is just a number that tells one little piece of who you are. An IQ score of 94 is within the average range. Much more important than the number is what you do with the intelligence you have. Focus on goals and work toward what you want in life.

No it is not something to be ashamed of. An IQ of 100 is considered "average" with a range of scores from 85-115 being in the average range. So, you have an average IQ.

Just because your IQ score was done professionally, it does not make it correct. Based on your other questions, I would say that your IQ score is wrong or you are lying.
Besides, even if your IQ was 70, it is nothing to be ashamed of, Pride comes in using what you have and developing your talents so that you are the best that you can be.

I think that is average so NO you shouldn't be ashamed. And even if it isn't average then just try to better your self and learn more to make you feel better.
Besides IQ doesn't matter when I was 16 I had an IQ of 123 and I got a 2.5 GPA(I was really lazy and didn't do my homework etc...) So intelligence doesn't matter as long as you work hard!

94 is in the low-average of the scale, you have lots of good company. Also ... you have good writing skills, good spelling, and good grammar ... which is more than I can say for a lot of people with supposedly high IQ's!! You also sound thoughtful!
IQ only measures certain academic and intellectual skills ... it does not measure how clever you are, how well adjusted you might be, how street savvy you are, etc. All of those things are equally as important. You sound pretty smart to me ... play on all of your strong points and forget about what they said about IQ!!!
I have three sons ... one with an IQ of 152, one with IQ of 98, and one with IQ of 72. Guess which one has a job, a family, and a good looking future? The one with IQ of 98.

I read somewhere that most millionaires have an IQ between 95 and 102...that really surprised me. Also someone one wrote. "If the Bushmen of Africa devised an IQ test one thing is for certain...we would all fail.".
