How is an IQ rated? For example what is average, what is high...?

Answer 1

IQ Score, Descriptive Term, % of Population
130+, Very superior or gifted, 2.2%
120-129, Superior, 6.7%
110-119, High Average, 16.1%
90-109, Average, 50%
80-89, Low Average, 16.1%
70-79, Borderline Delayed, 6.7%
69 and below, Delayed, 2.2%

100 is, by definition, "the" average IQ. Every few years, IQ tests are recalibrated so that a majority of people will score 100 or close to it.

Answer 2

iq is always rated against a notional 'typical' iq of 100.

the 100 is supposed to be typical of a young adult (around 25 years of age) so iq tests given to teenagers are usually adjusted to bring their median score in line with the 100 mark.

iqs above 130 (sometimes 135) are reckoned to mark someone as exceptionally gifted, iqs below 85 will usually characterise a person who will have some problems managing a normal life.

most people regard iq testing as a very blunt tool. i've known lots of folk who had iqs above 120 but the two highest scorers i knew (137 and 140+) were among the silliest men i ever met. the one with an iq in the mid 140s ended up driving buses.

Answer 3

Mental retardation
50 and below is very unintelligent and can only learn to maybe a 1st grade level
51-60
is still very unintelligent but could possibly learn to read childrens books if in the high 50s
61-70 unintelligent but not to an amazingly low level. Could probably have the intelligence level of a 9-year-old if taught.
71-79 Considered mildy retarded and could live on their own at a point in their life if taught. could have the comprehension level of a teen.

"Normal"
80-94 is below average but not retarded
95-110 is average
111-125 is above average but not genius
126-139 is gifted and very smart but still not genius

Genius
140+ is genius

EDIT "what foundation do you artwork that the scientists who did this learn could no longer in all hazard have had get right of entry to to sufficient funds and components to do their study appropriate?" As a training scientist i can inform you than except we are coming up stuff for the militia we by no ability have sufficient funds! it particularly is how technology unquestionably works in view which you're actually not one and you have by no ability had to maintain on with for a furnish you have no longer any concept what you're speaking approximately additionally This study purely examined IQs as much as 108 itself. that's no longer unquestionably extreme. 4) The learn they cite for this has no genetic documents ergo no heritability study. And no they do no longer seem to be semantics they are suited statistical words.
