IQ Tests, Explained
What is an Intelligent Quotient (IQ) Test?
Intelligence quotient, or IQ, tests aim to measure a person’s mental, or cognitive, ability in relation to their peers. One of the first modern-day IQ tests was the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, developed by Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon in 1905 to measure children’s memory, attention, and verbal skills. Through the years, variations of IQ tests have been developed by psychologists to measure reasoning and spatial skills, memory, math, vocabulary, and more.
Research has shown a connection between academic achievement and IQ, but these tests don’t account for factors such as socioeconomic status. And, just because a person scores well on an IQ doesn’t necessarily mean they’re “smart”—and if a person doesn’t score well, that doesn’t mean they’re not smart. Intelligence is subjective, after all, and there are many factors that contribute to it.
What is the Average IQ?
The average IQ ranges from 90-109. Here are the score breakdowns:
- 130 or higher: Extremely High
- 120-129: Very High
- 110-119: High Average
- 90-109: Average
- 80-89: Low Average
- 70-79: Very Low
- 69 or lower: Extremely Low
How Can I Get an Official IQ Score?
There is not one official IQ test, and many different people and organizations have developed their own versions of IQ tests. The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale is one of the oldest and most widely used tests and is typically administered by a licensed psychologist. Mensa, an organization for people with IQs in the top 2% of the population, offers an official IQ test. They also offer an “IQ Challenge” you can take for free online at https://www.mensa.org/public/mensa-iq-challenge.
