he took a test online and wants to know what is a usual score

The average score for a professional IQ test is always 100. Anything above that is above average, anything below that is below average. 80-120 is considered normal, ranges beyond that are considered exceptionally intelligent or exceptionally stupid (the higher the score, the more intelligent the individual)
The age of your child will be taken in to account in every professional IQ test, so is irrelevant.
If he has not taken a professional IQ test (i.e, a fee one in a magazine/ on television or one you found on the internet) the score is probably not reliable, though may be cause for concern, rejoice and you may wish to investigate further with a real IQ test from an organisation like Mensa.

The correct answer should be 100. However I recently took an online IQ test and the average score was different for men and women, but I think the average was around 110. This means it's not a very well-normed test.

IQ test are age dependent. Average or usual IQ score for any age is 100 - Scores higher or lower indicate proficiencies or deficiencies in any given area. Online tests should only be used for entertainment purposes and standardized tests should only be used in concert with many other examples of intelligence, not as a end-all assessment.

The average score is a 100 - a scored of 105 and above is what is considered appropriate for someone going to or interested in attending college. If he is interested more in IQ scores and what they mean he would read the wikipedia article on IQ's found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ
Good Luck!!!

yathay - it truly is not how IQ tests artwork. they're in accordance to conventional deviation, not probabilities. 109 isn't 9% smarter. The lifeless accepted is one hundred. Very not often human beings score precisely one hundred. maximum all of us is a touch above or lower than. in most cases, maximum folk score between 70-130. It relies upon what try you took, inspite of the indisputable fact that. this is fake to imagine there is really one scale. There are in truth diverse scales, with really the 100pt accepted in instantly ahead. eg. one hundred twenty might want to be very strong on one try, yet one hundred forty might want to be about accepted on yet another. maximum tests conform extra or less to the 70-130 rule, yet to be honest, a score potential little or no till coupled with the dimensions. a web try isn't strong in any respect. Sorry! xD also, IQ isn't relative to age. Your IQ would not oftentimes improve or shrink with age. So in case you've been to take a ideal, supervised try now, then yet another in thirty years, probability is you may want to score extra or less a similar. i don't believe of US Mensa will try those lower than 16, yet uk Mensa will try those as youthful as ten and nil.5.

IQ Tests are extremely flawed and are often limited by many factors such as economic class, how many IQ tests you have done before, cultural influences, gender and other factors.
Also, why test a teen? I heard once that if you take the "average" teen and gave them a Psych Evaluation, they'd all be on the Psychopath scale!!

IQ is defined as your Mental Age divided by your chronological age (actual age) times 100. In other words, if your Mental Age is 15, and your Actual Age is 15, your IQ would be 100 (average)...
