Is 126 a good FAIQ score?
A FAIQ of 126 sits in the very-high range — comfortably above the large majority of people. It points to powerful pattern-finding and reasoning, the kind that makes hard, novel problems feel tractable. Strengths are rarely even, though, so the shape of your profile across domains will tell you more than this one figure.
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 126 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 117 and 135 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.
