I have just done an online IQ test and scored 127 but at the end I had to pay for the report...so does any one know what's an average score?

Does anyone know their score?

Sorry to tell you but most online tests are pretty worthless and the results aren't considered valid by most organisations. If you really want to know you IQ then try and find you local MENSA group who, for a small fee (it used to be £10 when I was a member) will conduct a properly invigilated test and mark it and you can then have a valid IQ score. If you manage to get over 150 (mine was 164 but I am sure I have dropped a few points now) then you will be invited to join MENSA which as I found looks good on an CV and is a fun thing to say but in truth the membership can be a bit boring.
PS. The average in the populace is taken at 100 but most people of lower IQ would avoid voluntary testing hence the artifically high scores on the Beeb's Test the Nation.

I think anyone who scores over 100 is doing well - if I am correct, when my father did National Service you had to score that to be considered as officer class. When they revealed the National Results of the recent Test the Nation 2006 IQs last weekend, according to those tests people were averaging from about 100 to 110 - but I would suggest that that is higher than average - and that there are a lot of people who score less than 100 normally. You should be able to find IQ tests online that don't charge

ctually, the IQ score isn't affected by the age. It is like a percentage of smartness of how people your age should be off. For example, if you have the score of 100, that means that your IQ is the of the perfect standard as it should be. You would be considered as a genius if you have the IQ score of 150, which means that your IQ is one and a half times your age. IF you are a 20 years old with a 150 IQ, it means that you have the IQ of a 30 year old. But there many tests nowadays, so, the result might not be 100% accurate.

An IQ-scale is constructed to have 100 points as average.
You should know, though, that like so much else on the Internet, there are both good and bad test to be taken. At best you can only use the result as a hint on your abilities on that specific test at the specific time, you completed the test.
Instead use your gut-feeling - what are you good at? Did you do as well, better or worse than the other kids when you were in school?

The score depends on the test's standard deviation - different IQ tests have different SDs so a score on its own doesn't tell you that much - like asking how far way a place is and getting an answer but without knowing if the answer is miles, kilometres, hours etc.

The average IQ is between 90 & 110.

Well if you watched test the nation on Saturday, I think the average IQ of the UK is between 105-140, so if this is to be believed you did well. Clever girl!

Theoretically, 100 is the average. Just because you had to pay for it doesn't mean it's wrong, though--I've taken several on-line tests, and they all are within a few points of each other.
