You are 13 and your IQ is 118 is that good?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, an IQ of 118 at 13? That's like, totally fine. It's above average, so like, good for you, I guess. But hey, remember, IQ is just one way to measure intelligence, so don't stress too much about it. Just keep being awesome and doing your thing!

Answer 2

An IQ score of 118 at the age of 13 is considered above average, as the average IQ score is around 100. This means you have cognitive abilities that are higher than the majority of your peers. However, it's important to remember that IQ scores are just one measure of intelligence and do not capture all aspects of a person's abilities or potential. It's also important to focus on developing a growth mindset and working hard to achieve your goals, regardless of your IQ score.

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 118).

Now for the main part of your question. A score of 118 is more than one standard deviation above the norm (average). This means you scored higher than approximately 86% of people. So, for every hundred people you meet, on average, you are smarter than 86 of them and 13 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 or testing center using a carefully researched and designed measure. For someone your age the most likely test they would use is the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) which is used to test intelligence in children aged 6 to 16.

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.
