What is the average IQ of a community college student?

Answer 1

the generally accepted belief is that it is 115-120. College professors are believed to average 130. (130 is border of gifted and superior)

The IQ test is very flawed I believe that just because you cant come up with the answer quickly that your IQ is low. It only measures Numbers and Puzzles not common since or situations or many other things that makes people Intellegent.

Just because you can build a atomic bomb does not mean you can automatically do simple tasks like dealing with people or driving a bus I believe that people with very High IQs are needed for certain tasks but would be very bad at other tasks.

The above answer was written without doing the research. Actually the IQ test is hardly flawed at all. The IQ test, which is the common name for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales (Third and Fourth Editions are still in use). The WAIS holds the gold standard in psychological testing. This means that the test produces scores that, depending on the subtest, produce reliability and validity of no less than 0.80. This is extremely difficult to do. Also, it has been normed on a very large sample (also hard to do). The only shortcoming of the WAIS is how people use it. The WAIS is meant to be used as a measure of intelligence and a predictor of how a person will do in SCHOOL or ACADEMICS, not necessarily a job or life. It is a test that is a very good predictor for one's success in college, and it is a good predictor of college success because it measures many different kinds of problem solving (such as the previous responders "numbers and puzzles," but it also measures things like general societal knowledge, visual/spatial abilities, and memory.

As long as the WAIS is used as it was intended, it is an excellent test. Remember, you wouldn't use a screwdriver to drive in a nail, and the same goes for psychological tests.

Answer 2

About 140


While an I.Q. of 140 is sufficient for an advanced level graduate degree, it is by no means the absolute minimum. While there is no I.Q. limit that's etched in stone for someone required to be successful in college, it is generally believed these scores are the general minimums/limits as far as success in college is concerned:

A Bachelor's degree: A minimum I.Q. of 110.
A Graduate degree (Master's): A minimum I.Q. of 120.
A Doctorate degree (various Ph.D. & M.D.): A minimum I.Q. of 130.

Again, these are general I.Q. minimums & are not set in stone as far as success in college is concerned. A 140 I.Q. is too high for a set minimum toward earning a Bachelor's degree. I've seen people with average I.Q.s earn Bachelor's degrees. I remember one instance where someone with a learning disability earned her Master's degree in Special Education with an I.Q. of 80. So, it's not always about I.Q.. Perseverance & hard work will take one far in life. I've also seen cases where those with high I.Q,s fail to achieve high grades due to lack of interest & effort. So it's not always about intelligence.

Answer 3

100, same as in the general population.
