As well as measuring intelligence, you need to have some logic to work out puzzles.
Besides that, some people may be intelligent, but not academically-wise.

How many IQ points does ainan cawley have?
It's disputed whether IQ tests can even measure above 170. Many IQ tests cannot measure 'Intelligence' above 170. Ainan's father suggests he has an IQ of 349. This is impossible to determine, It cannot be measured using IQ tests. If he took an IQ test and scored above 170. They will say that he has an IQ of 170 as we can't measure above using IQ tests. People you see on the internet with supposed IQ's of 190+ are only estimates derived from their contributions to their field. An IQ of 170 is in the 0.01 percentile.
Is IQ 128 good in the 3rd grade?
I believe 128 is considered gifted. It is particularly rare to have it at such a young age. Studies have shown that as a gifted child ages his IQ is likely to decrease. IQ tests measure various things including fluid and crystallized intelligence. Essentially, fluid intelligence is your ability to learn and problem solve in situations you haven't encountered using the knowledge you have. Crystallized intelligence is what fluid intelligence pulls from. It's indicated by a person's depth and breadth of general knowledge, vocabulary, and the ability to reason using words and numbers. Your child more than likely has high fluid intelligence. This can't be increased. All you can do is increase crystallized intelligence to give fluid intelligence more to draw from. There is a lot more complicated theories and studies involved but this is the gist of it.
How do you calculate i q?
There are several schemes. Here is a fairly common one: You do a timed test or a series of times tests. Because they are timed, they reward speed and not just intelligence. You are awarded a score for correct answers, but no penalties for incorrect ones. This is your raw score which you will probably never see. Your raw score is then standardised for your age using the distribution of scores achieved by others of your age. For each age, this distribution has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. This adjusted score is your IQ or intelligence quotient. This means that 95% of the population has an IQ of between 70 and 130. While the standardisation process is designed to adjust for differences in age it is usually not designed to adjust for gender or cultural differences. As mentioned previously, it is more a measure of being able to do tests than intelligence - whatever that may be! By the way, in case you think all this is sour grapes, I should tell you that I am a polyglot by upbringing and education, and a mathematician by profession, I am able to score extremely high at IQ tests - well above those whom I consider to be my intellectual peers.

Who introduced the technique of using the drawing of a man as a measure of intelligence?
The technique of using the "drawing of a man" as a measure of intelligence was introduced by psychologist Florence Goodenough in the early 20th century. The Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test, also known as the Draw-A-Person test, asks individuals to draw a person, which is then used to assess cognitive and emotional development.
