Is an IQ of 113 good?

0

It’s above average (average is 100) and within the normal range on most real IQ tests. If it’s a score from a “test” you took on line, it doesn’t mean anything, good or bad. There are no genuine IQ tests on the Internet. The companies who develop real tests of intelligence for use by psychologists and psychometricians spend millions of dollars preparing and norming them. They do not make them available to the general public at all, let alone publish them on the Internet. Basic starter kits for professionals cost over $1000 and go up from there. Some people like to put together collections of interesting or challenging problems and puzzles, label them IQ tests and publish them on line. It’s a free Internet (mostly), so they can do that, but no one who has legitimate reason to be interested in a person’s IQ will take them seriously. Even Mensa ignores them (and, in the USA at least, Mensa no longer tells applicants their scores on application exams — only whether they qualified or not).
