There is no IQ number associated with the term idiot in psychological diagnoses. We simply don't refer to people in that manner. However, they did in the past, people were labelled an idiot at the 20 range. However, those were different times, and the term idiot didn't really carry the stigma and insult that it does today. Today we refer to those among that range as profoundly mentally retarded. Even though these terms exist in the DSM IV TR, they are not particularly useful and will likely change with the DSM V.
