Is 138 a good FAIQ score?
A FAIQ of 138 lands in the extremely-high range — the rarefied top fraction of a percent. Scores here reflect exceptionally strong abstract reasoning and a fast, flexible problem-solving style. It's a striking result, and worth holding lightly: a single number is a snapshot of how you performed today, not a ceiling on who you are.
What this number does — and doesn’t — mean
- ·It’s on the standard 100-average, 15-point scale — the same one IQ tests report on — so 138 compares directly to that familiar scale.
- ·FAIQ is a broad ability estimate (reasoning ~75%, memory & intuition ~25%), not a clinical or official IQ — and we never inflate it.
- ·No score is a single point. Yours would most likely fall between 129 and 147 on a retest — read the range, not the digit.
- ·A score measures how you did on these tasks today, not your worth, creativity, or what you can learn.
