IQ test

Historically, IQ tests have been scored in one of two ways. In the first method, a person's mental age was divided by their chronological age and then multiplied by 100. The other methods involve comparing scores against the scores of others in the individual's same age group.

Your IQ can have an impact on different areas of your life including school and work. High scores are often associated with higher achievement in school or work, while lower scores may be linked to some form of intellectual disability.

IQ level	Descriptive classification
130+	Very superior
120 to 129	Superior
110 to 119	High average
90 to 109	Average
80 to 89	Low average
70 to 79	Borderline
69 & below	Intellectual disability

These classifications come from the Wechsler series of IQ tests for children and adults.

To understand what your score means, it can be helpful to understand how IQ tests are designed and how your scores compare to others. Your score on an IQ test can tell you more about how you compare to others in your peer group with regards to things such as mathematical abilities, memory, processing speed, reasoning abilities, visual-spatial processing. To adequately assess and interpret test scores, scientists who develop IQ tests use a process known as standardization. This involves administering the test to a representative sample of the entire population that will eventually take the test.

Modern intelligence tests often focus on abilities such as mathematical skills, memory, spatial perception, and language abilities. The capacity to see relationships, solve problems, and remember information are important components of intelligence, so these are often the skills on which IQ tests focus.

Yes! It seems so! Mean IQ scores appear to be increasing between 2 and 3 points per decade. This phenomenon is known as the Flynn effect, and it is likely the result of increasing quality of childhood nutrition, health care, and education.
