Best Answer

If one defines mental in this question as a cognitive deficiency the general guidelines suggest that an IQ (intelligence quotient) below 70 indicates a mild mental deficiency. If an individual's IQ falls below 50 then the deficiency falls in the moderate range while an IQ of 20 or less indicates a profound mental deficiency.
