half of them, I think 100 is the midpoint
somebody's measurable IQ can change with time. Most are tested around age 11

Most people score somewhere between 90 and 130 as that is the average range. below 90 to 75 is considered the low side of average between 115 and 130 is considered high average and any thing above 130 is gifted. But there are a lot of things that impact a persons ability to live up to the potential of the IQ. I have a high IQ yet because of a learning disability I didn't do well in school. I was in school in the 1960's and early 1970's before they did a lot of testing for learning disabilities. In fact if you're not developmentally delayed most people with LD have high IQ's. Also emotional problems can cause a person to have and inability to live up to the potential presented by the IQ. An IQ is just an indication of the ability of a person under optimum conditions. Life often gets in the way of things.

The average human being is above 100, so figure how many people there are in the world right now, divide by how many countries are represented, times the square kilometres of land actually occupied by people, subtract those who don't have an IQ of 100, carry the 4, change to percentage by dividing by 100, and the answer is ................. Oh, sorry, we're out of time for today, please tune in to tomorrow's show to see what happens. Same time, same station.

mine was 116 but i dont really believe in the IQ test becuase i dont think it has anything to do with life.
Just like when you have to take the SAT's for school. The tests are so long and what if people are really smart but they just cant concentrate on somthing for that long. Its not really fair.

I think it is 90-100 is average so most of the general pop falls somewhere in here! LOL They said if your I.Q. is 130 you are in the top 2% of the population! So figure it out from there 2 out of a 100 at an I.Q. of 130! DUH!!! I tested at 139 with a psychiatrist! But it is only a gage and it doesn't really mean much unless you apply it!
