Is 82 A Good IQ Score for a 16 Year Old Boy?

Question

but I took a test online on the internet that was involved with Patterns and I answered 37 questions and after I finished it said I had a IQ of Below average IQ score: 82

Answer 1

Internet IQ tests aren't reliable. Regardless, an IQ test of 82 would be below average. Of course, intelligence isn't static. It changes with age. So, your IQ may rise when you're older when inactive genes for intelligence become active.

Answer 2

You took it online, therefore it doesn't count.

Answer 3

IQ scores have no relevance to age other than reading comprehension.  Online IQ tests are all worthless.  The test needs to be Stanford Binet.

Answer 4

iq test is for your over all iq , it includes , spelling , maths and different shapes and how you perceve  abstact pictures , can honestly say you would be a labourer in adulthood .but then labourers have a good life .just dont expect to be rich .

Answer 5

Depends on the country you are from.     Don't pay any attention to IQ tests, they have no bearing on how much money you will make or how popular you will be.

Answer 6

Those are GARBAGE!! All they are on the internet for is to make you buy what they are advertizing. Those aren't even scored by a professional. They are just a computer program. Don't bother with them anymore.

Answer 7

yale records show that bush43 had an 89 IQ . so you are not far from him . if your daddy is rich and has connections with the CIA , you should have no problems in life . 

Answer 8

Online IQ tests should be considered as entertainment only.  Like astrology.

Answer 9

IQ tests are highly weighted against the average person. I've never seen one ask about theories in achieving high vacuums in an industrial environment, or theories of electric motor flux fields. IE: if you haven't studied  the exact subjects the test is weighted on you'll do bad, it's like asking a English major about skyscraper foundations, many people get confused about geometrical patterns as they are not natural

Answer 10

No, but online tests are notoriously inaccurate.
