Yes 100 is he norm (average). IQ test measures are not precise and usually quote +/- 3% so Siavash and Charlie would both be termed average. One is a non-native speaker, the other had special educational needs at school which were not delivered so both would probably be upwardly corrected.

Freddie also had special educational needs, but these were delivered so he has probably been coached in IQ tests.

The term retarded is unacceptable in my view, but yes, it would appear that she has lower intelligence. (as measured by IQ tests)
