An I.Q. score of 140 is generally known to be very superior or genius. If you scored 140 you are in the 99.6% as according to the WAIS III test.

Is 140 a good IQ score for a 9 year old?

Age doesn't matter when determining if an IQ score is good or not. 140 is well above average. (The average score is 100.) This is the IQ of an intellectual. If this score is from an online test, I would advise you to not believe it. These tests are not accurate. You need to take a real test if you want to determine your actual IQ.


What is a good score for an IQ test?

The average score on an IQ test is about 100. If you score higher than that, your score will be above average.


What is a high score on an iq test?

Anything over 120 would be good. Over 140 is considered genius level.


What does a score of 140 mean in an IQ test?

It doesnt mean much but it means you are smart


If you are a certified genius what is your IQ?

Superior intelligence on IQ tests is not determined by the numerical score (such as 140), but by the standard deviation or percentile. For example, an IQ score of 140 on the Cattell Culture Fair IQ test is only equivalent to an IQ score of 125 on the Wechsler IQ test.The consensus in the field of psychology is that individuals scoring 2 standard deviations above the statistical norm (or the 98th percentile) are potentially highly gifted. On the Wechsler, that would be a score of 132. The term "genius" is subjective and individuals who are said to have IQs above the ceiling of conventional IQ tests have to be studied on an individual basis by experts.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In intellectual categorizations, a certified genius is someone with an historically-certified 140+ range IQ. (This is not entirely accurate as an IQ of 140 on one IQ test is not the same as an IQ of 140 on another equally valid test. The statistics are normalized using different techniques).
