It doesn't matter how old you are, the average I.Q is 100. The average never changes as you age because I.Q. is the measure of your intelligence not your knowledge which grows as people grow older. In other word congratulation buddy your above average...

Descriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients
IQ Description % of Population
130+ Very superior 2.2%
120-129 Superior 6.7%
110-119 High average 16.1%
90-109 Average 50%
80-89 Low average 16.1%
70-79 Borderline 6.7%
Below 70 Extremely low 2.2%
So yes you are smarter than 93% of the population.
To be Mensa smart you have to be smarter than 98% of the population. So 130+.

It depends if you took a legitimate IQ Test or something you picked off the internet. The average IQ on a standardized IQ is about 100, but you have to remember IQ tests may carry bias and other factors that cause it to not be a real accurate measure of intelligence.

125 is above average, very much border lining the gifted area.
Who knows? People are getting stupider each year so maybe the average curve will go down.

Yeah! 100 is average. So you are above average but you are not a genious.
Persons with a higher IQ have generally lower adult morbidity and mortality. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, severe depression, and schizophrenia are less prevalent in higher IQ bands.

The average IQ is supposed to be 100.
However, IQ tests are good at measuring only one thing: The ability of the taker to take IQ tests.

It depends on what test or tests you have taken. However, generally speaking, 128 is above average at least for kids today.

Average, but if you want to increase it just exercise your brain with puzzles and thought provoking activities. Fish is scientifically proven to increase your i.q So get fishing

Yes you're above average. Mine tested out twice at 137. However, my son's IQ tested at 149. He calls me Forrest Gump.
