Question

This is a stupid question but does anybody know the highest score you can get on an IQ test, and is 117 good?

There are very various ways of testing IQ, and I don't think there is an exact measure for it. I have had several tests and had very divergent results

I think it is commonly said that 100 is average.

Ilse.

I found this info on the web:

· 50% of people have IQ scores between 90 and 110

· 2.5% of people are very superior in intelligence (over 130)

· 2.5% of people are mentally deficient / impaired / retarded (under 70)

· 0.5% of people are near genius or genius (over 140)

So the average would be between 90 and 110. 117 is a very respectable score.
