i am just 13 years old and my IQ is 143 am i good?

Answer 1

Depends on who told you what your IQ was.

Answer 2

GAAAAH! Sorry, automatic response to questions about IQ.
First, did you get this score online? Online IQ tests are not accurate predictors of your IQ. They are just FOR FUN. That said, if you got a 143, good for you! That means you're pretty clever. You might take more online IQ tests, and average your scores to get a SLIGHTLY more accurate view of your IQ.
Second, true test of IQ have NOTHING to do with your age. If it's a valid test, it will test how SMART you are (in a manner of speaking) naturally. With age, only your knowledge changes, not your intelligence.
Third, and most importantly: why are you using Yahoo!Answers to tell you that you are smart? If you have an IQ of anywhere CLOSE to 143, then you know that you're smart, you know that that's a good IQ, and you shouldn't need the ego boost of people on Yahoo telling you that. I mean this in a very, very friendly way: get a life!
And get yourself professionally tested so you can brag about your IQ (believe me, I understand; I have a very high opinion of my own intelligence) and know that you're telling the truth. You can hold official IQ scores over other people's heads, but not online results.
Sorry, and good luck.

Answer 3

In this case, IQ is not the issue, but that fact that you are insecure and need to seek approval for others. You are only 13 y/o and have the most insane days of your life ahead of you in the next few years, so it would be best to hide your impressive IQ and work harder on making friends, because if you are asking total strangers for opinions on your IQ, then you got a lot of work to do.

Answer 4

143 at any age is awesome! I am 13 and have an IQ of 135. Everyone calls me a genius and I get shy.

Answer 5

Um...Sanjana the first answerer was right it is not bound by age, and they do not put you into age groups. As you said it is an intelligent quotient which means is tests how smart you are, not how much you know, so it shouldn't matter how old you are. the questions can be answered by anyone. The test just judges how quickly and accurate you can answer the questions.

Answer 6

Certainly you are: you are smart enough to doubt yourself. On the other hand, don't let knowledge of having a high IQ go to your head: it can make you supercilious or lazy.

As far as age and IQ go, your IQ can change with age, so keep studying, and for sure plan on going to college; plan on a Master of Arts or Science degree,

Here's some advice I wish I had had:

High IQ people have a lot of problems -- one, we tend to be sarcastic or ironic and then don't understand why we are misunderstood: most people take things at face value. We think that everyone thinks like we do; they don't.

Be compassionate and plain-spoken. Keep your snickers, your opposite-speak only for your closest friends, those who function on the same level you do. I just reread this, and this sounds snooty and it is not meant to be, so anyone who reads this, this is an example of exactly what I warned about in communication.

You must go to college, of course.

I had that advice; unfortunately, it was there that I learned irony as a means of communication, as an IQ of 130 is pretty much ballpark in college, so most people can look at layered communications and see the meaning or intention behind the words as well as the words themselves. We also tend to leave things out when we speak or write (as I did here -- I am editing, as I reread this and it ended just after "ballpark in college" and made either no sense or a sense different than intended). We leave things out, assuming that others are going to make the leaps between ideas without the connections that are necessary when speaking to people who are not totally familiar with us.
Original post went from "ballpark in college" to here (which is an example of one of those leaps that I am filling in here):

(minimum needed to get through is about 115). Sarcasm I learned in high school. It's fun and not a really good thing to allow into your communication style because it's hard to dump once you embrace it.

Never hold another person's "ignorance" against him/her: people learn lots of things in their lives and you might be the person to bring something to someone who doesn't know it.
What I mean is, don't think someone is lesser for not knowing something you do; it only means that they don't know it. Always see the child within; when a child learns something new, it is a beautiful thing. It is no less beautiful when an adult does.

With a high IQ, you will have an inquiring mind and will want to learn many things on your own, academic things, abstract things, philosophical or reasoning or thinking things. If someone has no idea what these things are, be kind and take the opportunity to pass on a bit of info, the basic info.

The time you spend learning these things, other people spend learning other things.

Always value your intuition.

Remember that the norm of an IQ is 100. That means that 50% of the world has an IQ under that and 50% has an IQ above that (with most concentrated toward that midpoint).

It took me many years to appreciate myself. As I began, you are smart enough to doubt yourself. I felt like an outsider because, well, at least 50% of the world didn't understand me, but more like 85-90%. It wasn't that they didn't like me; I just didn't know how to present myself in a more understandable way, assuming that everyone thought the same.

Don't talk down to people -- I mentioned explaining yourself, presenting yourself, and that does not mean doing so from a lofty point of view. Always look inside others, not inside yourself; seek to understand others; seek to be compassionate.

It took me many many years to learn these things.

I skipped 4th grade, and that has had ripple effects across my life. I am small in the first place, so then I was little and cute in fifth grade on. I was ten years old in 6th grade; not until I was over 30 and teaching 6th graders did I see how very young I was; at the same time I was functioning intellectually at the top of the class. Skipping that grade made me think that people "didn't like me" because I was younger, less physically developed, or, worse, that I had a fatal personalityl flaw. Had I not skipped a grade, that insecurity about myself would never have developed, and I certainly would have applied myself better than I did, in terms of working and making money (on the other hand, it did give me the opportunity to have a rich inner life and develop my skills as an artist) and even taking advantage of others, rather than looking to find out how to please people who might not even be people I should have anything to do with.

Read a book about Hunter College -- I don't remember the name of it: it is a follow-up on the students there. It was a school for the gifted in New York some time back. Most of the students wound up similar to me; very happy adults not working in any corporate context but involved in the Arts and the life of the mind, not necessarily publicly active or community leaders, though that is what had been predicted of and expected of them.

It is perhaps because we are a small population and the world at large can be a frustrating stumbling block. We do, however, turn out to be very happy adults, not necessarily rich; neither rich nor poor in terms of money, and very rich in terms of inner happiness (once we come to terms with ourselves).

Question yourself, yet don't doubt yourself.

Mmmmm, I'm quite pleased with what I had to say here!

Answer 7

143 is good, but it has nothing to do with age. IQ tests are different depending on your age, I think the other day a two-year-old became the youngest member of MENSA.

Answer 8

if that really is your score then your near or are genuis. Though chances are if it was a free test then your score isnt reliable and some even question whether IQ is even a reliable indicator of intelligence. Stephen Hawkins seems to think thats the case anyone. Plus if that is your IQ i really dont think you need us to tell you whether its good

Answer 9

How well did I do? What does my score mean?
Intelligence Interval Cognitive Designation
40 - 54 Severely challenged (Less than 1% of test takers)
55 - 69 Challenged (2.3% of test takers)
70 - 84 Below average
85 - 114 Average (68% of test takers)
115 - 129 Above average
130 - 144 Gifted (2.3% of test takers)
145 - 159 Genius (Less than 1% of test takers)
160 - 175 Extraordinary genius

Answer 10

Which scale is that 143 on?
scale 1: 135 = genius
scale 2: 150 = genius

Either way you are smart.
