The result page puts your score into one of seven bands. The labels are conventional, not diagnostic, and it is worth being precise about what they do and do not say.
The bands
| Score | Label | Position | Share of people |
|---|---|---|---|
| 130 and above | Gifted | Top 2% | 2% |
| 120 to 129 | Superior | Top 10% | 7% |
| 110 to 119 | Above average | Top 25% | 16% |
| 90 to 109 | Average | Middle half | 50% |
| 80 to 89 | Low average | Bottom 25% | 16% |
| 70 to 79 | Borderline | Bottom 10% | 7% |
| Below 70 | Extremely low | Bottom 2% | 2% |
Where the percentages come from
That last column is a property of the normal distribution, not a count of who has used this site. On a scale with mean 100 and standard deviation 15, roughly half of all people fall between 90 and 109 by construction. The same would be true of any test using the same scale.
This matters because it is the most common misreading: "only 2% score above 130" is not a claim about this test's visitors. It is arithmetic about the scale.
A band is a range, and so is your score
Your result comes with a confidence interval, and that interval will often straddle two bands. Someone who scores 108 with an interval of 95 to 121 is not meaningfully different from someone who scores 112. The band boundary between them is a drawn line, not a cliff.
Treat the band as a rough position, and the interval as the real answer.
What it does not measure
This test is non-verbal pattern reasoning: matrices, number series, figural analogies. That is one slice of what people mean by intelligence, and it deliberately excludes vocabulary, general knowledge, and arithmetic drill — things that measure exposure and schooling as much as reasoning. A score here says nothing about memory, attention, creativity, or judgement.
