In this instance, it\u2019s for the <strong>average IQ score by age<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where do you stand on the spectrum? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-iq\">What is IQ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IQ stands for &#8220;intelligence quotient&#8221;\u2014based on the German term &#8220;<em>intelligenzquotient<\/em>&#8220;\u2014and <a href=\"https:\/\/ddescholar.acemap.info\/field\/2033219689\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">was coined by psychologist William Stern<\/a> in 1912. It\u2019s a numerical score that \u201c<em>indicates how far above, or how far below, his\/her peer group an individual stands in mental ability,<\/em>\u201d as described by the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mensa.org\/what-is-iq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mensa International<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/left-brain-characteristics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">left-brain<\/a>-based, it\u2019s essentially a measurement of your ability to apply logical reasoning to solve problems. Mensa International explains that in adults, IQ is not really a quotient at all. Instead, it\u2019s \u201c<em>an indication of how well one performs on mental tests compared to others<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that doesn\u2019t mean your IQ is &#8220;better&#8221; than that of a three-year-old. Or that of a centenarian, for that matter. Your IQ measures against your age, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-are-iq-scores-calculated\">How are IQ scores calculated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two-letter term, IQ, was initially measured as a ratio of mental age to chronological age multiplied by 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you\u2019re ten years old with a mental age of ten, your IQ would be 100. If your mental age is greater than your chronological age (let\u2019s say, 15 instead of 10), then your IQ would be 150. Similarly, if your mental age was lower than your chronological age, then your IQ would be that, multiplied by 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-index-scales-of-modern-iq-tests\">Index scales of modern IQ tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, IQ tests measure an adult\u2019s intelligence on these index scales:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Verbal reasoning<\/strong> measures how a person processes words, assesses them, and applies them\u2014concept formation, comprehension, and expression. The questions given assess how words are received, storing and recalling information, reasoning or solving verbal problems, and communicating knowledge.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perceptual reasoning <\/strong>measures the ability to assess visual details and identify their spatial relationships or patterns. The questions on this subtest typically ask to construct geometric designs from a model, identify distinguishing details between similar images, and so on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Working memory <\/strong>measures the ability to register, maintain, recall, and manipulate information\u2014both visual and auditory\u2014in a short time. The person is given a series of pieces of information and tested on how well they recall the information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Processing speed<\/strong> measures how quickly new information is processed. Specific tasks are given to be completed in a certain amount of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your points gained on these subtests are then combined to form an overall IQ score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mensa International explains that when the concept of IQ was extended, one major development in its testing was the creation of group tests. Before this, people were tested individually by qualified psychologists. \u201c<em>The first group test was created for the US Army,<\/em>\u201d they point out. \u201c<em>They soon spread to schools, workplaces, and beyond, becoming one of psychology\u2019s greatest popular successes and remain so to this day.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-normal-iq-range\">What\u2019s the normal IQ range?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IQ scores typically range from <strong>70 to 130, with 100 being the theoretical average. <\/strong>About 68% of people score between 85 and 115.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several kinds of tests to calculate your IQ. The most trusted and widely used is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)\u2014its fourth edition has the following score range:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>IQ Range (&#8220;deviation IQ&#8221;)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>IQ Classification<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>130 and above<\/strong><\/td><td>Very Superior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>120 to 129<\/strong><\/td><td>Superior<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>110 to 119<\/strong><\/td><td>High Average<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>90 to 109<\/strong><\/td><td>Average<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>80 to 89<\/strong><\/td><td>Low Average<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>70 to 79<\/strong><\/td><td>Borderline<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>69 and below<\/strong><\/td><td>Extremely Low<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So in a nutshell, when you score higher, the higher your \u201cintelligence.\u201d And if you\u2019re curious as to where you stand on this intelligence scale, you can take the IQ test to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-unlock-your-superbrain-join-jim-kwik-s-free-mindvalley-webinar-and-learn-faster\"><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/superbrain\/masterclass?utm_source=blog_inline_link&amp;utm_campaign=evergreen_sb&amp;utm_medium=end_of_article&amp;otag=mv_blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unlock your superbrain\u2014join Jim Kwik\u2019s free Mindvalley webinar and learn faster<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-s-the-average-iq-score-by-age\">What is the average IQ score by age?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn&#8217;t any actual data on the average IQ score by age. However, there&#8217;s some information about age groups, and here are the scores that denote &#8220;normal&#8221; or &#8220;average&#8221; intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Age Range<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Average IQ Score<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>16 to 17-year-olds<\/strong><\/td><td>108<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>18 to 19-year-olds<\/strong><\/td><td>105<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>20 to 24-year-olds<\/strong><\/td><td>99<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>24 to 34-year-olds<\/strong><\/td><td>97<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>35 to 44-year-olds<\/strong><\/td><td>101<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>45 to 54-year-olds<\/strong><\/td><td>106<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Over 65 years old<\/strong><\/td><td>114<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to note that these scores by age should be taken with a pinch of salt. Given that modern IQ tests, like WAIS-IV, consider a person\u2019s age, it\u2019s applicable to those 16 years old and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average IQ scores follow the bell curve, which you can find above. For those below that age, there\u2019s the WAIS-V test available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s the difference? For the fifth edition, there\u2019s an extra index scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While WAIS-IV looks at verbal reasoning, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed, WAIS-V adds <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/fluid-reasoning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>fluid reasoning<\/strong><\/a> to the list. This measures a person\u2019s ability to identify relationships among visual objects by completing a series of visual patterns. But essentially, the scoring system follows the same bell curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-average-american-iq\">What is the average American IQ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/worldpopulationreview.com\/country-rankings\/average-iq-by-country\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The average American IQ is 97.43<\/a>, according to the World Population Review of 2022. This ranks them in 29th place after Belgium and before Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thing is, this seems to be quite far from their standings in 2017, where they were ranked number one in the Top 10 Countries with the Highest Intelligence Capital Index list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the country with the highest average IQ scores in the world? According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulsterinstitute.org\/ebook\/THE%20INTELLIGENCE%20OF%20NATIONS%20-%20Richard%20Lynn,%20David%20Becker.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2019 study<\/a>, that title belongs to the Japanese, with Taiwanese and Singaporeans close behind. And they will maintain that status in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-average-iq\">What\u2019s the average IQ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average IQ score for any age group is 100\u2014the center of the &#8220;normal&#8221; range. Most IQ scores fall somewhere around this number. And as the scores move away from the normal range (100), there are fewer and fewer scores. This is known as the standard deviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re actually deemed to be within the &#8220;normal&#8221; IQ range if you score anywhere between 85 and 115 on your test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anything over that would be considered \u201cexceptional,\u201d like Marilyn vos Savant, who has the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/highest-iq-possible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">highest IQ score<\/a> of 228 at the age of ten, according to the Guinness Book of Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, anything under 100 would be regarded as \u201cintellectually disabled.\u201d Even for the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/lowest-iq-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lowest IQ<\/a>, that\u2019s harsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/01\/What-Is-the-Average-IQ-By-Age.webp\" alt=\"Average IQ chart\" class=\"wp-image-62930\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/01\/What-Is-the-Average-IQ-By-Age.webp 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/01\/What-Is-the-Average-IQ-By-Age-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/01\/What-Is-the-Average-IQ-By-Age-344x344.webp 344w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/01\/What-Is-the-Average-IQ-By-Age-214x214.webp 214w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/01\/What-Is-the-Average-IQ-By-Age-540x540.webp 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-high-low-iqs-do-not-measure-intelligence-free-intelligence-type-quiz\">Why high\/low IQs do NOT measure intelligence (+ free intelligence type quiz)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wherever you fall on the IQ score spectrum, here\u2019s the fact of life: <strong>there\u2019s really no such thing as a good or bad IQ score.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? Simply, your IQ is such a narrow measure of specific cognitive abilities. And frankly, it does a poor job of reflecting the vast world of your mental capacities and intellectual strengths as a unique individual. It also doesn\u2019t take into account the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/types-of-learning-styles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different types of learning styles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New research in this field reveals that we may actually possess up to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/types-of-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nine different types of intelligence<\/a>. And you can develop each of them by learning to improve your brain functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what field of intelligence would you genuinely like to be sharper in?

It&#8217;s important to remember that IQ scores are calculated relative to a person&#8217;s age; for example, 16-year-olds are compared to other 16-year-olds. The average or mean IQ for every age group is set at 100. This standardization ensures that the IQ score reflects how a person&#8217;s results compare to those of their age peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-average-iq-of-a-14-year-old\">What is the average IQ of a 14-year-old?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn\u2019t any actual data on the average IQ score by age for those below 16 years old.&nbsp;However, professionals frequently use the Fifth Edition of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wechsler_Intelligence_Scale_for_Children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>WISC-V<\/strong>) test to assess cognitive abilities in this age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-average-iq-of-a-12-year-old\">What is the average IQ of a 12-year-old?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned in the answer to the previous question, there are no standardized data sets for individuals under the age of 16.
