Is an IQ of 142 good for a 16 yr old female?

The trouble is, not falling into the trap of “I have a high IQ, so even if I don’t do my work, I still have affirmation that I’m smart.” This is a common misconception amongst many high school students I’ve come in contact with who have apparently tested well. Your intelligence quotient is just an indicator of POTENTIAL, not a measure of how smart you are. To live up to that potential, you have to put forth effort, which I hope you do. It would be a pity to waste, if you’ve got the ability.
Mine was 152 when I was 10 years old, and I took one recently at age 43, and I got a 144…
(Which is exactly what my 10-year-old self suspected at the time…that I would never get any smarter…)
