Intellectual disability was called mental retardation in former times. A mean of 100 is used for the standardized measure of IQ in the general population. Systems of classifying intellectual disability in the United States use the terms mild, moderate, severe and profound. People with profound ID have an IQ below 20 and cannot live independently. They require supervision and often have congenital syndromes and associated medical conditions.
