Straight from IQTest.com:
"A General Intelligence Quotient Score (IQ Score) is a statistically
derived number which indicates relative and comparative abilities
that can be used to obtain academic skills and knowledge. You
have hundreds of specific mental abilities. Some of these abilities
can be measured accurately. Some of these measurements can be
reliable predictors of an individual's academic achievements.
Though an IQ test measures only a few of a human's mental abilities,
these few abilities are targeted for measurement, because they
are well known to positively correlate highly to many other human
abilities. How high you score in one of these measured abilities,
will strongly indicate how high you would be expected to score
on the unmeasured abilities. "
Statistically the following statements are true about IQ scores
obtained by taking this test:
- An IQ of 100 is higher than
50% of all persons taking this
test.
- An IQ of 110 is higher than
75% of all persons taking this
test.
- An IQ of 120 is higher than 93%
of all persons taking this test.
- An IQ of 130 is higher than 98%
of all persons taking this test.
