Is 113 a good IQ test result for a 12 year old?

Answer 1

Well, since 100 is the average score, then 113 is above average. However, the scores, themselves, don't convey any sense of "goodness" or "badness" as there is no correlation between IQ and happiness. IQ scores only measure one set of abilities (commonly known as "school smarts"), but there are many other kinds of abilities (such as artistic, athletic, "people skills," etc) that people possess to varying degrees. What is important is finding what you're best at and then developing THAT talent as much as possible.

Answer 2

Chances are if you took the test through your school, it was most likely properly given. But to make sure ask yourself if the test was timed and if no one was allowed to talk during the test. If the teacher told you it was an official test and everyone in your grade was taking it, then you can take the results as being accurate. Your age only matters with I.Q. regarding the test you take. Small children take different types of tests than someone your age, who also takes a different test than people over the age of 14. Your I.Q. stays pretty constant, but when taking tests your alertness, whether you've had a good meal, etc. can affect your test score. An IQ of 128 is considered "mildly gifted." That means you have the capacity to understand things faster and easier than most. That doesn't mean that you will always get great grades without trying, but it shows you have the potential to do very, very well in university and whatever career you choose. This does not mean that you are somehow better than or "superior" to anyone else. An I.Q. is only one component of a person. A strong work ethic, respect for yourself and others are more important parts of a well-rounded adult than just I.Q. Let this I.Q. test give you the confidence to know that with a little work you can become anything you want to be - just be sure you remain a good person while you're doing it and you'll have a great life.

Please know, IQ is based on your age and other factors. If you take the test when you are 30, the result should be about the same. 113 is not bad, but you aren't a genius. Just be glad you know at then age of 12 where you stand.

Answer 5

The average IQ is 100 for a person's age.

Answer 6

It doesn't matter what the age is. A score of 113 is above average ( average being 100 ).

Answer 7

Age doesn't matter if it's a real IQ test administered in person, because it means you're 1.13 times as smart as a regular person of your age. So yeah, it's a good result. It doesn't make you a genius, but smarter than average.

Answer 8

Any score over 100 is good.

Answer 9

I guess it is pretty good...when I was twelve I got 129 though...I don't know, I think that it's in the average level.

Answer 10

honestly i don't believe in all those IQ crap, no offense. skool just means everyone's given an equal opportunity to become sth in life, those who decide to take it further in life don't rely on IQ's, and get psyched by the "A" grades. skool can only take u that far to graduatioon, and give u a degree name. and that's wat the world has for u so far. so the question u shuld ask urself is wat do u have for the world. but for wat its worth 113 is outstanding.
