It is normal.
I.Q. is a subjective measurement of your ability to learn. Largely discredited as an indicator of intelligence (or anything else actually), and highly sub-culturally biased.
I.Q., literacy, intelligence, wisdom and understanding are largely unrelated, and depend on other factors such as background, and opportunity for education and experience. Only intelligence is inborn, and there is as yet no measure of intelligence which is even remotely objective.

That's good, considering an IQ of 70 qualifies as borderline-retarded. You're about average.
As far as being good "for a teenager", IQ stays relatively the same throughout life. In other words, you would have a similar score if you took an IQ test designed for a 5 year old when you were that age and your score probably won't waver much as you get older.
Also keep in mind that while the Intelligence Quotient test is the standard test for measuring ones intelligence, there is quite a bit of contraversy surrounding it's accuracy. There are several different types of intelligence according to theory, and your IQ score doesn't reflect all of them. A person may have a moderately low IQ, yet be extremely successful in life due to his or her artistic, social, or athletic intelligence. I'm not saying that the IQ test is worthless, because it is a good estimate of the types of intelligences that are valued in our society. It's just far from perfect, as are all standardized tests.

Age doesnt really play much of a factor in the test you can score higher as you age or lower your either smart or your not, and each person has their own strengths and weaknesses. 113 is about average so good job and just keep trying to build on that always strive to lean more and do better for yourself

it depends on the test really, if it was taken at a high school or college, thats pretty good, i'd say. you're right where you ought to be. if it was an internet thing, those arent as accurate.
but hey, at 113, you're higher than the president!

That's pretty good, in fact I think that you are slightly above average. You may want to check the scoring table on the Internet.

120 is average, so you should push yourself to do better. Also, try taking a variety of IQ tests and average the results out - they're not always accurate.

Thats pretty good, but if you took an online IQ test, they aren't usually accurate.

You wrote this queston so you're not illiterate. However your grammar could use some work.
