Yeah, so 100 is average.  I don't think these tests are very accurate, so if you're between 90-110 that's probably about average.  130-140 I think is pretty smart.

If you take lots of these tests I think your score generally improves as you get used to the type of questions.

400+ is really very smart.

There technically is no highest score, so you could potentially have an IQ of 9,999,999,999,999, but because it is based on a normal distribution, most scores will fall within the 50 -150 range.  This calculator only goes up to 400 apparently.  I think the highest actual IQ someone has is around 180?  I'm not quite sure.

You blame me?  Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

there is no highest score? why? i thught my 90 was like good. and its like getting an A in class. so if theres no highest score, then Edison was lying when he said he 'score perfectly' then? thats maybe y he didnt say what he score

so if my score is 90 how that put me in comparison with other?

There is no highest IQ.  A really really smart person could have a 300 or a 400, who knows.

But these tests only have a certain amount of questions.  So if there are 20 questions and you get all of them right, then you get the highest score you can on that test.  But the test isn't a perfect indication of your actual IQ, it's just an estimate.

So 90 makes you about average.

100 is average (compared to everyone in the world, so they say).  Above 100 is "above average" and there are other categories beyond that.  Below 100 is "below average," but like I said, most scores will fall within the 50-150 range.

Tanner - It doesn't work quite like that. Techjnically, someone could have an IQ of 5,563,590 if their brain capacity is that high. There is no limit. If you score 90 on a real IQ test, I'd guess you're  above about 40-45% of the population.

I just took it again after a long time (almost ten months) and scored perfectly...

It's just getting all the questions correct. For a perfect system, there'd be an infinite amount of questions.

There is no perfect, unless you define perfect as ∞.

scoring a 100 as an IQ means that you are above 50% of the population.  That doesn't mean that scoring 200 will put you above 100% of the population.

Take a look at this wiki entry on the The Normal Distribution, and maybe that will clear things up.  The graphs on the right show several different "Bell curves," and as you can see, there really is no end to those lines, meaning there is no perfect and there is no 0.

The score on an IQ doesn't really mean anything towards any job, degree, or any other score.  It's just a measure of how well you can comprehend, analyze, apply, etc. different ideas.

Is this a good IQ test, compared to others online?  How long does it take?  What's your opinion, Edison?  You seem to have taken a bunch of them.
