IQ is distributed as with most things over a bell curve. A rough distribution is that for each 98th percentile IQ increases by 30 points (SB). This puts the top 2% of people around 130 IQ, 160 would be the top 2% of those top 2%, or 0.004% of the population.

What the average IQ for 9 year old boys?

All IQ tests are standardized; there are three tests that can be taken, depending on the age of the candidate.The IQ of everyone in a given generation is always set to be normally distributed with mean 100 and variance 15. (Looks like a bell curve.)Therefore, the "average" IQ for anyone is 100.

What does 111 IQ mean?

IQ is a "Normally Distributed random variable" meaning that it follows a bell curve. This curve is centred on 100, meaning that 100 is the average value for all people. The standard deviation is 15, meaning that 95% of the population is meant to be within 70-130 for their IQ. 111, therefore, is a slightly-above-average IQ test, however, IQ tests are subject to error, and depending on the questions, you could get a different score next time.
