An IQ score of 107 falls into the Average range on the standard intelligence scale (mean = 100, standard deviation = 15). This score is right in the core of the bell curve — most people score here.
What an IQ of 107 means
107 is one of the most common results on our own test: in our April to October 2026 data, 105 of 3,834 people scored exactly 107. In the general population it sits at about the 68th percentile, comfortably inside the average range. Our test-takers average around 114, higher than the population, because people who choose to take an online IQ test are a self-selected group. That is why this page shows both where 107 sits in the population and how it compares with other people who took the same test.
Where does an IQ of 107 rank?
On a standardized IQ test, a score of 107 places you higher than approximately 68.0% of the population. Intelligence scores follow a normal distribution — most people cluster near 100, and scores taper off sharply toward both extremes.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| IQ score | 107 |
| Classification | Average |
| Percentile | 68.0% |
| Rarity (out of 1,000) | ~320 in 1,000 score this high or higher |
| Standard deviations from mean | 0.47 |
IQ 107 in numbers
- Roughly 1 in 3 people score 107 or higher.
- In a room of 100 randomly chosen adults, about 32 would score 107 or higher.
- Another 3 points would move this score into the High Average band, which starts at 110.
- Even on professionally administered tests a single result has a margin of error of about five points either way, so a measured 107 is best read as somewhere between 102 and 112.
On our free IQ test
Of the 3,834 people who completed our free IQ test between April and October 2026, 105 scored exactly 107 and 69.9% scored higher. People who choose to take an online IQ test are not a random sample of the population (our average is 114.5), so this shows where a score sits among other test-takers, not among everyone.

Which IQ tests produce a score of 107?
A score of 107 can be produced by any standardized intelligence test that uses the mean = 100, SD = 15 scale. The most widely used tests include:
- Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) — clinical gold standard for adults.
- Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales — oldest continuously-used intelligence test.
- Mensa admissions test — used by the Mensa society for membership selection.
- Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) tests — most theoretically grounded modern framework.
- Our free IQ test — instant online estimate with the same scaling.
How to interpret an IQ score of 107
A score in the average range indicates that cognitive ability is typical for the general population. Outcomes in work and life are driven far more by specific skills, interest areas, effort, and opportunity than by small differences in IQ within the average range.

Factors That Influence Your Score
Your IQ score reflects a combination of genetic potential and environmental influences including education, nutrition, health, and the testing conditions themselves. Factors like fatigue, anxiety, unfamiliarity with the test format, and even the time of day can all affect performance. A single test score should be viewed as an estimate, and scores can vary by several points between testing sessions.

Compare the major IQ tests
Which test produces the most accurate score depends on what you're trying to measure. These head-to-head comparisons break down the differences:
- WAIS vs Stanford-Binet — the two clinical heavyweights compared.
- Mensa vs WAIS — entry-test speed vs full clinical assessment.
- Stanford-Binet vs Mensa — which one actually gets you into Mensa.
- CHC vs Wechsler — modern cognitive framework vs the classic.
- Raven vs Cattell — non-verbal alternatives for cross-cultural testing.

Is IQ 107 considered good?
An IQ of 107 is within the average range — where most of the population scores. "Good" depends on context: IQ is one factor among many that contribute to life outcomes.
Can an IQ of 107 change over time?
IQ scores are relatively stable in adulthood but can shift modestly with education, engagement, sleep, and health. Short-term factors like stress and fatigue can move a single test result by 5–10 points in either direction — which is why we recommend comparing results across multiple sessions rather than reading too much into any single score.
What percentile is IQ 107?
An IQ of 107 corresponds to the 68.0th percentile on the standard bell curve — meaning it is higher than about 68 out of every 100 people.
