Where does the IQ 138 fall on the scale?

Answer 1

superior

A score of 138 is more than two standard deviations above the norm (average). This means you scored higher than approximately 98% of people. So, for every hundred people you meet, on average, you are smarter than 98 of them and one is 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.

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.
