lets say your math iq is 73 and your spelling iq is 137, (there are a few other individual percentiles that average out to 93) would this be considered good????

I remember reading somewhere that the average adult I.Q was anywhere between 80-110. Mine is 140 but everyone is different. So in answering your question, yes I believe that 93 is fine. ☺
Hope this helps and have a great day/night!!!

it depends what age you are. but don't worry because an iq test just test one area of your brain which could be your spelling for example. that could be where your talent lies, in english. iq tests dont actually tell you how intelligent you are. all they tell you is how well you can complete a test on a day and how good you can be on a particular subject. some peoples iq is quite high like 140 but there talent may only lie in science or something. take this example. there was a 10 year old child now about 14. he has a very high iq and has written two stories and had them published. but he isn't very clever at any other subjects.
if you are willing to learn and you want to do well then your iq will improve. 93 is average but i was below average once. now im above average. ask yourself what might be holding you back from your education and find a way to solve it. i had to move schools but at leat im happy and im learning.the only real skills you need are common sense and communication skills to make freinds and be happy.
p.s. your father may have had a better education or you may have inherited your mums inteligence or something but dont worry. your dad would have worked hard to get that iq score. some people dont ever have fun because they worry too much which means that their iq goes down even more. remember to have some fun.

In general IQ tests only prove that you are good at taking IQ tests. Google: tickle.
An average IQ is 100. So 93 is 93/100. But IQ's come in ranges. They are not absolute. And it varies during your life. Maybe a person could not keep up with maths at school and that would affect an IQ at that time. But then the person is interested in maths and studies it in his spare time. So, doing the same test, he would get more answers right and therefore have a higher IQ.
I think you can see what I mean.

This all actually depends on your age. If you are still kind of young, you might not have very accurate scores because you are still learning and a lot of the tests on IQ tests involve problem solving techniques not learned in school. Also, if you goof off in school you're not likely to have a high score because of that. I don't believe it has anything to do with your real capacity to learn, just what you have learned so far.

As for your scores, I do believe they are below average, but I wouldn't worry about it. Like I said, those tests aren't very accurate and can't definitively pinpoint your real brain power.

I think the average IQ score is something like 110, but I'm not sure. Regardless, your score isn't that far away and I imagine you'll learn more when you put your mind to it, and thus get a higher score.

An IQ of 100 is taking to be the average rating

Average. Actually they're finding gifted or genius is more a consciousness shift, a way of using the brain. Basically the brain is really positive and objective. Instead of using judgmental words, which are opinions, use descriptive ones that are both objective and more accurate. Then if your aware that you are an awareness and only have thoughts and are not your thoughts, you won't be so rigid or unstable, by trying to defend personality or ideas as being you, but be more adaptable. That's pretty much it. Here's some sites that don't teach that, but show the thought and emotion shift that's going on. P.S. Our emotions warp all our reasoning, so we have to understand them thoroughly to be free.

Well, depends on the test mate. But I reckon 93 average is something above intermediate indeed. Try not to let yourself down by those negative answers. Just keep up your brain work. Do try many other tests as well. Good luck.

Why worry?
I've known many ppl who claims they high IQ & great academic grades; yet they ain't successful in life nor in their career. Some of their EQ are even worst.

I would rather hv. moderate IQ & EQ to balance life.
IQ doesn't reflect one's smart or stupid overall, but it reflects that person's knowledge & exposure in that certain area.
Some who've done many IQ tests or exposed to that tests before; thus scored higher.

Your dad's IQ's higher coz. he's older & exeperienced more thn u. Btw. ever seen the TV show "The Apprentice" whereby there's this Orlando Bloom look alike guy named Tarek. He has very high IQ & a member of Mensa; yet majority of decisions & attitude among others less educated & even less IQ thn him are questionable. But don't get me wrong, he's modest about his IQ & agreed that being street smart & experience is more worthy in real life.
