    Being normative is absolutely a good thing.

    First, that kind of test is bullshit anyway. No accuracy, poor consistency, and dubious entertainment factor. If you aren’t taking one of the standard iq tests, all you’ll get is entertainment, and I doubt that was fun.

    Second, even with a standard test, IQ is damn near useless. All it’s really good for is identifying people in need of educational support.

    Third, again, being “average” doesn’t mean bad. It means you’re right in what is normal for the human race. You’ll be able to learn effectively, think effectively, and if you put in effort, learn to think well. That’s normal, that’s average.

    You won’t have significant, if any, learning disability. You might not be a genius, but if you have a genius IQ and a quarter, you still can’t call someone who cares because you can’t make a call for a quarter even if you find a pay phone. At best, a great iq might help you turn that quarter into a phone call eventually.

    94 is fine. It’s healthy. It’s going to get a person through life.
