i just took an IQ test and I don't know if my score is normal for my age, or if it means I'm dumb. Can someone please tell me what an average score for an IQ for an 11 year old is?

The real answer is this- online tests aren't reliable and you can't really use those to understand very much about yourself. So take them for fun and that's all. They do base themselves on real IQ tests, but don't have the statistics behind the score. On real IQ tests, the score breakdown generally goes like this for every age grouping (depending on the test)
69 and below= well below average
79-70 below average
80-90 low average
90-109 average
110-120 above average
120-130 high
130- and above well above average
However, one must realize that 100 for a 90 year old is not the same as average for a 10 year old is not the same as 100 for a 30 year old, because what's average for each age is different. Think about it, would you expect an eleven year old to know the same things as a 30 year old? Of course not? On real IQ tests, the group you are compared against is even more specific than just your year, but also goes into months and days!
Finally, an IQ score can never, ever tell the entire picture about a person! There are so many different types of intelligence, don't get hung up on any one score, I don't and I give these tests for a living.

If you took an IQ test on the Internet, then it is not very accurate. Real IQ tests take many other things in account that you can not do on a computer. Also, IQ tests should be age specific. Do not get discouraged if it did not come out at 160.
Also, the fact that you are interested in your IQ at the age of 11 is a very positive sign. If you start working at improving your intellect now, you will achieve great things.

Was that on an online test or a test specifically made for 11 year olds?
The WISC-IV is one test for up to age 18. I think it's the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children - version 4.
IQ is merely a number. Street smarts and creativity are not usually reflected in an IQ test.

An 11 year old is really too young to be taking an IQ test. Most tests aren't geared for an 11 year old, and therefore would probably seem to indicate a low average adult rather than quantify the intelligence of the 11 year old.

I think about 100 on an 11 years old I.Q. test since it needs to be age appropriate.
