Is 116 a good FAIQ score?
A FAIQ of 116 is in the high-average range — above most people, with clear reasoning strength. Plenty of demanding work and study sits well within reach at this level. Where you go from here depends far more on interest, effort, and the specific abilities you lean on than on the exact number.
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 116 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 107 and 125 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.
