It's around 147, but since the real measure was originally applied to children and represented mental age divided by physical age expressed as a percentage, mental divided by physical is no longer true when someone reaches the age of 20.
The figure therefore becomes a comparison between people who have taken an IQ test, and is only a measure of relative intelligence.

Almost everyone here is lying or has only taken a cheezy online IQ test.
All these scores in the 140's...yea, yea ok. 130 qualifies you for mensa. Most tests don't even have a ceiling that high. The WAIS has a maximum score of about 150, and the Binet is lower than that for almost all of their tests, except one that has a ceiling of 160. Ravens APM ceiling is about 150, and Cattell about 155. What tests are you guys taking to smash these high scores? Imaginary ones?
It would help to know the age you took the test at and what the standard deviation is. If you scored 200 when you were like 4 years old that only translates to an adult score of ~170, or less in some cases as the younger you take the test, the less accurate your score is.
I scored 148 (ceiling) on Ravens APM and my SAT scores translates to over 150. I could trick you and state those scores using an uncommon standard deviation though, like 24, in which my IQ would be over 175.

Mine has varied between the high 140's and low 160's. The more IQ tests I've done the better I've scored. This is because of a factor called test consciousness. The more tests you take the more you learn to recognise the type of answer required. Thus all an IQ test actually measures is the ability to take IQ tests.
My great great grandmother was probably as intelligent as I but wouldn't has scored highly because of her lack of education and unfamiliarity with tests of this type.

The thing is when you take the IQ test it doesn't really test for all types of intelligence. If you were an exellent writer for example and pretty lousy and logic puzzles/maths then how would your intelligence come out of the test? How do you measure intelligence, and what is intelligence?

the average iq is supposed to be 100 but i bet everyone who answers this will be over 100 - basically an iq score is meaningless - btw im off the scale

WHEN they first did the TV show 'test the nation' it turned out that with my answers I had an IQ of 137.
NOT bad for old man.

The don,
iQ or intelligence quotient is defined as:-
((mental age of person)/(physical age of person)) x 100
So, as previously stated,any one with the right mental or "reading" age for their physical age scores 100 (%).
If your really brainy,say, a 10 year old child has a reading/ mental age of a 15 year old; he has an iQ of 150.
Hope this helps!!!

No idea. But I do know somebody that went for a test with MENSA to have theirs measured. They couldn't find the place!
