    For a real, controlled IQ test is 147 good bad or average? I Googled but sometimes Google is stupid. So I thought I'd ask here. Do not even bother asking me who scored the 147. I'm not telling.

      It's as meaningless as any other IQ score. Work through a handful of kids' puzzle books, a few days before taking an IQ test; your score will shoot through the roof. Intelligence is not about solving puzzles that have been designed (by boring people) to be solved; it's about abstraction and correlation. IQ tests are an insult to your intelligence. Tell your pal, spouse, significant mother, whatever, that he/she is in the top 1% of boring children's puzzle solvers.

        OK, I have to ask, where did you get it done? I have been curious for years but was afraid of getting caught up in a fly-by-night thing. Short of going to a Mensa center or something I was never sure where to go to get one.

            Regardless of what some people think about such tests, they are a valid measure of one's ability to capture and analyze information and relationships. Like most such tools, some are better at it than others, and many are not much better than children's toys. By definition, 100 represents an average person. Beyond that, it's depends on who you ask. Traditionally there are several levels of varying degrees of brilliance and dullness, as originally defined by Terman - to wit What IQ Scores Mean[^]. An IQ of 140 means you're qualified to join Mensa, and clearly indicates a gifted person. But it's unlikely that you'll find life less confusing than someone with a mere 130 IQ. Bear in mind, too, that there are some people who are naturally gifted at scoring well on tests, and others who suffer brain-freeze at the sight of a little bubble that needs blackening. I'm certain that can skew the results, whether psychologists are willing to admit it or not.

              You googled and couldn't find out whether an IQ of 147 was good, bad or average? That's bad, really bad, really really bad.

                        Last time I took an IQ test (I was forced to I tell ye!) I scored 155. If I took a common sense test I would probably score -155.

                          It means you can pass a test that fits someone elses opinion of intelligence, not much else.

                            Given the fact that you have kids, and about what I learned about them from your posts, there are some indicators for one of your kids being the person tested. I have been told that, especially for kids, the results can vary by 20 or 30 points, just based on factors that will "even out" over the years. Just be careful what you do with the info.

                                Funny, I would think the person that got the 147 should be intelligent enough to already know that answer ... ask them. ;P

                                  Around 115 is the IQ required to succeed at a college level. Beyond that has no bearing on how "successful" you will be however. Chris Langan, genius farmer[^]

                                        Do you have any idea how many 5 and 10 question IQ tests are on the web? I had no desire to sort through them.

                                          So you're eating lots of starchy food and drinking lots of beer?
