The certificate’s missing a lot of data there for this to be meaningful. (Or at least not being upfront about it, requiring us to go hunt on their website to find out)
What standard deviation used? SD15? SD16? SD12? Other?
Was there a tight ceiling and floor to the test?
Which test? Wechsler? (WISC or WAIS? or even WPPSI!?) Stanford-Binet? Cattell? Any of many others? (e.g. Galton? Binet-Simon? Raven? Kaufman? (Full or Brief?) Woodcock-Johnson? (<- rude name btw) DAS? UNIT? Otis-Lennon? Army? Mensa situated Cattell III B or Culture Fair Intelligence Test? Other?). And, from which adjustment period / Which version?
(I guess I could go try fathom the answers to these queries on testyouriq dot org. Would have been nice if such were presented with every IQ certificate, to help it be at all meaningful and [more] trustworthy.)
And(to step out of the dangerous misdirection (and lie of omission) that is the reductive singular pecking order), more importantly, what are the scores for the other aptitudes? Even what are the scores for the 3 aptitudes that make up an iq score? [visual, verbal, mathematical].
Broad spectrum aptitude testing [covering dozens of aptitudes, not just 3 boiled into one] may reveal higher and lower quotients scattered around. A mere IQ test does not reveal such, even hides these, and misdirects away from even being aware of your strengths and weaknesses. You may be a genius in some regards not measured in IQ tests, and a dunce in some regards too. Even within IQ, you may have (as I do) a sky high visual aptitude, and a sub-par verbal aptitude… the 1 number of an IQ score does not tell you that.
A little bit of information remains a dangerous thing.
