Apparently, the IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation. In their book, Know Your Child’s IQ, Glen Wilson and Diana Grylls outline occupations typical of various IQ levels:
140
Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.
130
Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)
120
School Teachers; Pharmacists; Accountants; Nurses; Stenographers; Managers.
110
Foremen; Clerks; Telephone Operators; Salesmen; Policemen; Electricians.
100+
Machine Operators; Shopkeepers; Butchers; Welders; Sheet Metal Workers.
100-
Warehousemen; Carpenters; Cooks and Bakers; Small Farmers; Truck and Van Drivers.
90
Laborers; Gardeners; Upholsterers; Farmhands; Miners; Factory Packers and Sorters.

IQ tests are all standardized according to age, therefore, while an older person will get more questions correct on a test, that is factored into the score, so that average for all ages is 100.
IQ tests are all based on a mean (average) of 100, and a standard deviation of 15. This means that 66% of all people will fall within the 85-115 range. Anything 2 standard deviations above average, hence 130+ is considered exceptional. Two standard deviations below average, 70, is considered retarded.
I hope this helps :)

A person's IQ is not related to age, but rather to innate intelligence (which is different from education and knowledge); that's why you can't study for an IQ test! Generally speaking, a child with exceptionally intelligent parents stands a better chance of having a high IQ. That's the way it happened in my family...my parents both have very high scores, mine and my brother's are both quite high, and all three of my children also tested very high in the IQ tests they took in high school. (I take full credit for that, despite the fact that my husband's is the same as mine!)
An interesting aside...my IQ was first scored at 139 in 1971 in my freshman year of high school. The guidance counselor wasn't supposed to give out that information, but slipped up and told me anyway. Every time I've taken an on-line test since then, I've scored a 139! Of course, the fact that a 49-year-old woman is spending time taking IQ tests on line definitely means I need to get a life! LOL

Average IQ is defined as 100.
Generally, 115+ means superior. 130+ would qualify you for mensa.
Don't get too hot headed though. Some online tests arn't very reliable and do not give valid scores.

I.Q. is based on a bell curve with 100 being average. 122 is above average and 150+ is genius.

age doesnt matter, cuz its factored into the test, i think average is about 105 or so
the person below me heard wrong, cuz if thats true than the average 90 year old persons iq would be 900, impossible

We need your age to put you on the IQ chart "according to age."

well then you must be 12.2 years old (according to an IQ test online). if your 1 your IQ should be 10
2= 20
3=30
and so on and so forth.
that's just what i heard
