Yes, it is above average
An IQ score of 131 falls in the "gifted" range on the IQ scale. It is considered to be above average and indicates high intellectual ability.
96.9%
Average IQ is between 80 and 120. If you achieved a score of 131, you have above average intelligence - which is good whether you are 17 or 71.
50% of the population would have an IQ of 100 or lower.
That will be close to 90 percent of the population. Only about four percent would be above and below that area.
50% are above average,
Around 98% of those tested have an IQ under 131. If in the top 1%, your IQ would be at or above 131. Usually several tests over several years have to be taken to accurately place an IQ score. Einstein's was thought to be 140+.
There is no complete statistical accumulation of the populations IQ scores. However, interpolations and regression analysis of available statistics have been undertaken by different academicians. A comprehensive study was published in a book by Swiegers & Louw titled "Intelligensie," (McGraw Hill, 1982) estimated that 16% of the global population had IQ's of 115 and above whereas 9% had IQ's of 120 and above. Based on these estimates, the answer is in the neighborhood 12%. If you can put the data into a spreadsheet and do a regression analysis to obtain a more accurate answer, then you probably have an IQ of 117 or above.
ca. 9 % has an higher IQ.... (IQ 119 90th percentile equals top 10%)
