Analysis


What Your Score Means

Your I.Q. score measures your general intelligence (g ) relative to others, with the average (i.e. median) I.Q. set at 100.

Like many other natural characteristics such as height, lifespan, etc., differences in IQ scores are shown to follow normal distribution -
meaning that most people score near the average of 100, and the percentage of scores at either extreme progressively decreases.
When graphed the distribution of scores resembles a bell-shaped curve, infamously known as the "bell-curve".

The graph below locates your I.Q. within the normal distribution (bell-curve) of IQ scores:

This IQ Test has a standard deviation of 15 points, and as the bell-curve shows:
  • 68% of IQ scores are between 85 and 115 - one standard deviation
  • 95% of IQ scores are between 70 and 130 - two standard deviations

From Score to Rank

Similar to other standardized tests such as the SATs and ACTs (whose scores are shown to relate highly with IQ), IQ Test scores
are grouped into percentiles based on relative rank. The table below shows the rankings commonly used to profile scores:
