IQ scores are converted from the raw score of the test to a standardized scale, wherein everybody can be compared and applied to a normal distribution. We know that many things are normally distributed when enough of a sample has been examined. This is also the case for the IQ. Thus, we can compare your score to everyone else (even if they didn't take the IQ test) based on the likelihood that the population distribution of scores is normal. Somewhere along the line somebody decided that 100 would be average and 15 would be the standard deviation. Now everybody is compared along the same scale using standardized scores.
