Is an IQ of 126 good?

I took an IQ test online and got 126, it was like 25-30 questions long. I was just wondering how good that is that and what is the most reliable/ accurate free test out there that i can take?

Note: I've got a 20 on the ACT which is not all that great for me XD.

Update:

Im 19 but almost 20

    By definition the global average IQ is 100 and to be a Member of MENSA requires a score of 148. 148 or higher means you are in the highest 2% of the global population. A score of 126 suggests you should be capable of benefiting from a university educating but the bottom line is it's all about application and hard work.

    For an accurate test I suggest you contact your local branch of MENSA and sit the entrance test. With an IQ of 126 you should be able to find it for yourself.

    Remember that IQ only shows potential it's no substitute for hard work.

    It's meaningless. Online IQ tests are not accurate - you can't take a real IQ test online. Real IQ tests can only be taken from a licensed psychologist (expect to pay $300 - $500 for it), take many hours to complete, don't ask the same kinds of questions as online IQ tests, and give out much lower scores on average. Online IQ tests give everyone high scores - they're trying to sell you something, after all.

    most online IQ test that are online are fake, because in fact, an IQ of 126 is classified as a "superior mind" and is only in 6.7 percent of the population. Click on this link and scroll down to find a list of the IQ's.

    It is really good! It also depends how old you are tho. If you are in grade 6 and lower,

    you are a genius! If grade 7 to 12, you are pretty smart. If 19 to 25 years old, you have a normal IQ for a person of your age.

    in case you have been to offer a standardized IQ try like the WAIS, you may anticipate 6.7% of human beings to realize a score between a hundred and twenty and 129. it incredibly is seen to be in the greater suitable selection. yet another 2.2% could score above one hundred thirty. So, if your better half grew to become into examined with this variety of try, he's in the precise 8.9%, in terms of IQ score. If it grew to become right into a internet IQ try, that is tough to verify how precise this variety of score could be. There are diverse techniques of being clever. possibly your better half is greater experienced non-verbally, so he would not come for the period of as being as clever as he's. yet, definite, 126 is incredibly sturdy.

    If you took the I.Q, test on line, it is not a valid Iintelligence Quotient at all. If you took the ACT on line from the College Boards, that is a valid measure of your student abilities A valid I.Q. test can only be given by a Psychologist or a Psychiatrist who works for the school district where you are going to school. Stay within your school and school district to take any important test that will be given by people with the proper skills and education to give those tests. Please try to do that because your future is at risk.
