An ad poped up and it was a Tickle Test ad. It's safe. I tried the test 11 pages and all, bear with it.

And my result is 120 IQ with mathematical and logical skills. Perhaps some people think it's silly to compare a test's IQ to the real deal. But back to the point:
What is an average person's IQ?
P.S: Try the test! It's quite educational!

When people talk about just one score/value as to measure how intelligent a person is, it goes back to the days of the early 1900s when people used the Stanford-Binet Intelligent tests. They determined that 100 was to be the average score/
Since time more modern tests have been designed to reflect you cant tell how intelligent a person is with just one score/value. Tests like the Welscher's Inventory for School Children, and Welscher Adult Inventory Chart (WISC and WAIS) show that there are many different kinds of intelligence: there is word knowledge, spacial reasoning, non-verbal and verbal knowledge, etc. The average being still 100.
If you're 120 in math and logical skills, then you're in the above-average catagory.
If you're in the 130 range or higher, you're superior.

The IQ scale is relative to the test being taken, since there are so many "IQ" tests out there, they are not all scored the same and the result is often mixed. I have seen the standard score set at 100 and I have seen it set at 110, but like I said, it's all up to whomever designed the test being taken.
Seeing that you received a 120, you'd be considered above the norm on any test out there, good job : )

It is, by definition, 100. So, interestingly enough (or maybe not...), even if everyone suddenly got much, much smarter, the average IQ would still be 100! It's just that, then, "100" would mean something different. So, for example, if the average person today is smarter than the average person from 150 years ago, today's person with a 100 IQ would be smarter than yesteryear's person with a 100 IQ.
Clear as mud?

I got 131 on that test a couple of months ago and I was very pleased with myself. 100 is the average IQ but it varies from country to country. You should try out the other tests on Tickle, it's a great website.

A person's average IQ is around 100, I believe. I believe 120 is borderline average-genius, above is genius. 70 and below measure the degrees of mental retardation. There are all different IQ's though. There's musical IQ's--you can imagine what Mozart's was! There's math--what you took, there's puzzle solving and I believe there's one for literary skill.

This test does not measure IQ as we think of it. Only the Wechsler-Bellevue test gives an IQ.

Average IQ is 100. That's how IQ test scores are set up in order to have a clean reference point.
IQ-------------population distribution
<75-----------------------5%
75–90-------------------20%
90–110------------------50%
110–125----------------20%
>125----------------------5%
