A score of 117 on the Mensa IQ test is considered above average, as the average IQ score is typically set at 100. However, it does not meet Mensa's requirement for membership, which generally requires a score in the top 2% of the population (usually around 130 or above). While a score of 117 indicates good cognitive abilities, it may not qualify you for the organization.
IQ scores are relative. The average IQ score is 100; anything above is above average, anything below is below average. 117 is a very decent IQ score, however, be wary of your sources. Do not trust any IQ results that you have received from 'official' on-line IQ tests. The only IQ test that you should trust are official, on paper and on site IQ tests, such as those that are run by Mensa.
There is no definite IQ number to qualify you to join MENSA. You must score in the top 2 percentile on a standard IQ test to be invited to join MENSA.
American Mensa does not accept the TerraNova achievement test. They do except the Test of Cognitive Skills with a composite score of 98% or above and the InView with a composite score of 98% or above. Of course, Mensa reserves the right to alter or change these scores as the tests shown are renormed or restandardized. Mensa will appraise all applications individually and reserves the right to make the final determination about the acceptability of any test.
It is way above normal. 100, plus or minus 10 points, is considered average and over 140 is eligible for MENSA.
98 percentile or above
An IQ score is usually adjusted for age. Have a look at Mensa web page for good data.
