What is 106 rated on an IQ scale?
(I am answering the question assuming it can fairly be rephrased "How does an IQ of 106 rate/rank on an IQ scale") By definition, an IQ of 100 is "average". Therefore a score of 106 is slightly above average. More specifically, using the WAIS/Stanford Binet definition wherein a standard deviation of 0.25 corresponds to 4 IQ points, an IQ of 106 roughly corresponds to a standard deviation of 0.38/0.39. What all that means is that an IQ of 106 roughly corresponds to a percentile rank within the population of about 65%, or, in other words, a person with an IQ of 106 is "smarter" than 65% of the population. By one accounting, the average college graduate has an IQ of 116 (and a percentile rank of 84%).
Is an IQ level of 114 normal for a 16 year old boy?
An average human being has an IQ of 100. The standard deviation makes average intelligence take more of a range, from 85 to 115. This, of course, is independent of age. 114 is a normal IQ for anyone.
Is EQ more important than IQ?
EQ is just as important as IQ and is probably more important in certain situations than IQ is. EQ is a persons emotional intelligence and how they handle and express emotions.
What is a normal IQ for a eleven year old?
IQ is a complex topic, and you should be warned not to put too much weight on what someone tells you your IQ is. It is, after all, just a number and while it can be useful, its uses are few. The basic concept of IQ is that it is stable for any given individual throughout life. This means that a properly determined IQ at the age of 11 should reflect the person's IQ throughout life. Again, don't be taken in by the lure of the IQ, whether the number you have been given is on the high side or on the low side. According to the basic theory, the average IQ is 100. Virtually all of the standard IQ assessment tools are statistically built to reflect this. Different IQ measurement tools differ, but they usually have a standard deviation of around 10 or 15. A standard deviation can be roughly thought of a significant jump, up or down, from the average of 100. A large proportion of people in the general population have IQ's between 90 and 110, or between 85 and 115. Again, the size of a standard deviation can be different, depending on the tool that was used to assess the individual. If your IQ is not far from 85 and you have your heart set on being the next Einstein or Steven Hawking, you are almost certainly going to have some frustrations in your study and profession pursuits. Likewise if you have an IQ of 140 and you think being a file clerk will adequately challenge you professionally. Put it all in perspective and go for things that satisfy and enrich you. Happiness and success in life DO NOT depend in any way on your IQ. They depend on how you use what you have.
What is the average IQ score for a 68 year old?
Depends on the test, but in general, age shouldn't matter. If the mean/average score for an IQ test is 100 with a standard deviation of 15 (like the WAIS-IV for example) then average is always 100 no matter the age, with the average range considered 85-115.
US IQ Standard deviation?

How is better to calculate your IQ with the basis of deviation 15 or with the basis of deviation 24?
deviation 15 is better
What is the standard deviation of the normal IQ curve?
It is 15 points.
IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 If a certain statistician has an IQ of 140 what percent of the population has an IQ less than she does?

IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 if a certain statistician has an IQ of 140 what percent of the population has an IQ less than he does?
About 98% of the population.
What is the average IQ for a 11 year old?
IQ is based on an average of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 for any group
Why would an IQ test be developed so most people would score between 85 and 115?
An IQ test is simply a (somewhat flawed) means of assessing a person's "relative intelligence". It is important that IQ is not extremely important when working with such a measure in psychology. Now, the IQ test is designed such that scores follow a pattern known as a "normal distribution". This is not simply an expected distribution! This distribution is very important in the study of statistics, and has many applications to scientific disciplines (such as psychology). A standard deviation is essentially a measure of distance from the mean. For example, say that the average person lives to be 75, with a standard deviation of 4. This means that a person who lives to be 79 would be one standard deviation above the mean, and a person who lives to be 67 would be two standard deviations below the mean. As a table depicting the normal distribution can show, one standard deviation above the mean is at the 84th percentile, while one standard deviation below the mean is at the 16th percentile (two stds above: 97.5th, two stds below: 2.5th) This means that an IQ score of 115 is at the 84th percentile, while an IQ score of 85 is at the 16th percentile. 68% of all people are within this range, and that is "most" people.
When your Fourteen what should you IQ be?
The average IQ for any age is 100. A slight deviation either way (95-105) is accepted as normal. Higher is "better".
What percentile of the population has an IQ of 138?
It depends on the standard deviation. IQ 138 sd 116: 1/114; IQ 138 sd 115: 1/177Have a look at this: http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/IQtable.aspxBest wishesChristoph
How smart are you when your IQ's 145?
What an IQ of 145 means really depends on the test. On some tests it might means that you are smarter than 99.85% of the population, on others it might mean that you are brighter than about 80% of the population. Modern IQ tests tend to be designed to give a normal distribution of scores with 100 as the mean. A normal distribution is a bell shape, so that the closer the IQ is to 100, the more people there are with that IQ. Exactly how many for a given IQ depends on something called the standard deviation. About two thirds of people have an IQ within 1 standard deviation of 100 (the mean). For example, IQ tests commonly have a standard deviation of about +/-15. This means about two thirds of people have an IQ between 85 and 115. You might call this the average range. About 95% of people will be within two standard deviations, so using the same example, about 95% of people will have an IQ between 70 and 130. And 99.7% within 3 standard deviations. So, on an IQ test with a standard deviation of +/-15, you might say that people with an IQ of 130 or more are above average (in the top 15% or so), and if your IQ is 145 then you are in the top 0.15% of the population. However, the standard deviation depends on the test. Standard deviations on common tests range from 10 to 24. Because of this, these days psychologists tend to talk of percentile ranges when talking about IQ with a certain confidence interval. So, you would be far more likely to be told that your IQ is in the 94% percentile range with a confidence interval of 90%
Is an IQ of 117 good for 22 year old?
An IQ is designed to be age independent so your age should be irrelevant. Also, IQ scores are designed so that average IQ score for a population is 100 and the standard deviation of the scores is 15. Thus, around 9.1 % of the population will have an IQ of 117 or higher.
