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

Genius IQ is generally considered to begin around 140 to 145, representing ~.25% of the population (1 in 400). Here's a rough guide:

115-124 - Above average (e.g., university students)
125-134 - Gifted (e.g., post-graduate students)
135-144 - Highly gifted (e.g., intellectuals)
145-154 - Genius (e.g., professors)
155-164 - Genius (e.g., Nobel Prize winners)
165-179 - High genius
180-200 - Highest genius
>200 - "Unmeasurable genius"

He is no Einstein!

More notes on High IQ and Genius IQ:

Einstein was considered to "only" have an IQ of about 160.

[CaudleHalbard]

There are several scales of IQ. Mensa, the high IQ society, only admits people in the top 2%. The actual IQ level depends on which scale has been used. 2% equates to IQs above the following levels:

Cattell III B - 148
Culture Fair - 132
Ravens Advanced Matrices - 135
Ravens Standard Matrices - 131
Wechsler Scales - 132

But on any of these scales, 160 would easily qualify for Mensa.

Does it seem likely that Aden is in this category?

You are so wrong on everything.

Monty hall problem, was solved by the highest I.Q. female, (and males)

Aden is a twit.

I'd place his I.Q at 97.

Yours isn't far behind.
