IQ Scores & Ratings
What is a good IQ score? What is a high IQ score? What is a low IQ score? These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test.
Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:
Over 140 - Genius or near genius
120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
80 - 89 - Dullness
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness
Normal Distribution & IQ Scores
The properties of the normal distribution apply to IQ scores:
50% of IQ scores fall between 90 and 110
70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115
95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130
99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140

In a recent survey it was found that 87% of ATS members potentially have an IQ lower than 70.
Are you in the 13% of ATS members who have an IQ higher than 70?

It appears it less than 13% for the mods!

By the way. What does MENSA mean? I only have a low score of 148. Why do these MENSA people keep calling me? Are they bill collectors?

Isn't MENSA the group that sang "YMCA" and "In the Navy"?
