IQ scores
67Understanding IQ scores
I have an IQ score of 97, almost perfect, hey...
Misunderstanding IQ scores is quite common.
First of all, it is not a percentage. So 100 is not a perfect IQ.
100 is the average IQ so half the population would be below 100 and the other half would be above.
Then the IQ test score follows a so called "bell curve". In statistics this is called a normal distribution or Gauss curve.
The curve shows for each IQ score the percentage of the total population that get that score.
As you can see most people score somewhere around 100. In fact half of the population have a score between 90 and 110.
Very few people score over 130 or under 70, about 2.5% in each group.
A true bell curve extrends into infinity but the IQ score becomes hard to estimate over 200 or so.
Typical IQ scores of different occupations
140 Top Civil Servants; Professors and Research Scientists.

dude shut up. my mom is a stenographer. Your probably just upset because your going to end up being a gardener.
dude i scored 167 when i was 13 (im fifteen now)
im self taught and i hate math so i havent really studied it in what? four years?
that's kinda scary
this thing is just bullsh... you just mesuring how your brain can make a result from a question of logical stuff but you need to mesuring emotion intelligence and physical intelligence that make our personnality with those 3 intelligences.
I know some people are doctors but they can't make a bird house. be a doctor doesn't make you intelligent, I call this kind of people hard disk because they can keep in memory and repeat the same things.
intelligence emotional is hoe to adapt yourself with a emotional situations. physical intelligence is how to adapt yourself in an environment like monkies
I don't understand that to be a nurse your test has to be 141 my test was 121. I don't see what was wrong with 121 to get in to the nursing field.
nice but not the best; NO one can judge human IQ in terms of scale, afterall he has designed this scale.
all parameters i.e. EQ,Physical Q also need to be combined with IQ then only we can judge someone to some extent
hey I aint even a member!
A certified psychologist is the only person who can test your IQ. The test takes about 10 hours. Mine was 117.
what is this
i m civil engg university topper
but my iq is 99
it means i m not a good civil engg.
if iq is everything what is the need to become engg. dr and architect.
we must corelate our iq with EQ AND SQ
IE EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT AND SPERITUAL QUOTIONET.
CONCLUTION IS THAT
IF UR IQ IS LESS THEN DONT WORRY

Civil servants 140? What do you drink? Besides, what is a civil servant? An engineer can be a civil servant, teachers can be scivil servants. Do stenographers still exist? What planet are you in?
