Is 117 a good IQ score for a 4 year old girl?

Answer 1

Yes. According to a chart on wikipedia, you are "moderately gifted." But, whether or not you trust wikipedia, since they can be misleading, about 100 is the average IQ according to almost any website. So, 131 is pretty darn good.

Yes, this IQ score does imply that you are gifted. However, it means very little unless you do 'exercise' your mind.

Answer 2

An IQ score of 117 for a 4 year old is considered above average. It suggests that the child may have good problem-solving abilities and reasoning skills for their age. It's important to remember that IQ scores should not be the sole measure of a child's abilities and potential.

Answer 3

First, IQ tests are designed so that your score takes your age into account. This means that (ideally) a person exactly as smart as you, but older or younger than you should get the exact same score. (So if a person exactly as smart as you, but 30 years old took an IQ test, they should also get 117).

Now for the main part of your question. A score of 117 is just over one standard deviation above the norm (average). This means you scored higher than approximately 85% of people. So, for every hundred people you meet, on average, you are smarter than 85 of them and 14 are smarter than you.

You should be careful though if you took the test off a website or some other place online it is most likely not accurate. The only way to get a real IQ test that is reliable and valid (meaning, it measures your intelligence accurately) is to get professionally tested through a mental health professional using a carefully researched and designed measure. For someone your age the most likely test they would use is the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) which is used to test intelligence in children aged four to six. However, IQ testing at this age is difficult at best, and may not be the best predictor of future intelligence (despite the previous statement that intelligence tests are supposed to be corrected for age).

And remember, IQ is just a measure of one kind of intelligence, and your results can be affected by things such as ADHD or learning disabilities.

Answer 4

It is a good IQ for anyone (IQ is supposedly not dependent upon age). 100 is average, and I have read that either 125 or 150 and above is genius.

I believe 140 is the official definition.

Answer 5

Any IQ above 100 is good, it means that you are above average. 114 is substantially above average.

Your age is already taken into account when the IQ score was calculated, that 114 is how you rank compared to other 11 year olds, and doesn't say how smart you are compared adults or kids of other ages.

Answer 6

Yes, that score is above average, assuming that it was a proper test and not some sort of internet nonsense. The fact that the person in question is a 14 year old girl is not important in comparing this score to others. Age is only a factor for determining the score itself.

IQ is considered to be normally distributed, with an average score of 100, and a standard deviation of 15. This means that 50% of people are above 100, and 50% are below. Approximately 68% of all scores fall between -1 and 1 standard deviation, that is, between 85 and 115. Another 26% of scores fall between -2 and 2 standard deviations. So approximately 94% of all scores fall between 70 and 130. A score of 121 means that you have a higher score than approximately 84% of people.

Answer 7

Yes.

In theory, IQ is adjusted for age, so the age should be irrelevant. However, there are different IQ tests - not all of them are equally good. According to some of the more respected tests, an IQ of 140 would be a sign of a genius.

Answer 8

Anything above 100 is better than average.
IQ scores are not age dependent. A 4 year old can have an IQ of 125 and not know as much as a twenty year old with an IQ of 80.
