What are standard IQ scale rates?

First of all, the concept of IQ was developed by either the German psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Stern in 1912, or by Lewis Terman in 1916, depending on which sources you consult. Intelligence testing was first done on a large scale before either of these dates. In 1904 psychologist Alfred Binet was commissioned by the French government to create a testing system to differentiate intellectually normal children from those who were inferior.

Thus the IQ scale called the "Binet Scale," (and later the "Simon-Binet Scale") was developed. Sometime later, "intelligence quotient," or "IQ," entered our vocabulary. Lewis M. Terman revised the Simon-Binet IQ Scale, and in 1916 published the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Scale of Intelligence (also known as the Stanford-Binet). The following scale resulted for classifying IQ scores:

IQ Scale

Over 140 - Genius or almost genius

120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence

110 - 119 - Superior intelligence

90 - 109 - Average or normal intelligence

80 - 89 - Dullness

70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency in intelligence

Under 70 - Feeble-mindedness

Normal Distribution of IQ Scores

50% of IQ scores fall between 90 and 110

70% of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115

95% of IQ scores fall between 70 and 130

99.5% of IQ scores fall between 60 and 140

Low IQ & Mental Retardation

An IQ under 70 is considered as "mental retardation" or limited mental ability. 5% of the population falls below 70 on IQ tests. The severity of the mental retardation is commonly broken into 4 levels:50-70 - Mild mental retardation (85%)

35-50 - Moderate mental retardation (10%)

20-35 - Severe mental retardation (4%)

IQ < 20 - Profound mental retardation (1%)

High IQ & Genius IQ

Genius or near-genius IQ is considered to start around 140 to 145. Less than 1/4 of 1 percent fall into this category. Here are some common designations on the IQ scale:115-124 - Above average

125-134 - Gifted

135-144 - Very gifted

145-164 - Genius

165-179 - High genius

180-200 - Highest genius

The Average On An IQ Scale

The scoring of an IQ test is not the same for everyone, because age is used in determining a score. Intelligence quotient is determined by the "intelligence age" (I A) in relation to the chronological age of the person being tested. IQ scales can differ from each other (Americans use scales with IQ values above 200), but the mean value of most scales is an IQ of 100. This represents normal intelligence.

Think you are smart? Well, if your IQ is 130, that puts you ahead of 98% of people, but recent research shows that a person's level of self-discipline has nearly as much to do with success as their IQ level. In other words, your IQ score is not the only requirement for success.

What does 'Mensa' stand for?

There are eight different meanings,

Mensa is from Latin, it means table.

other meanings can be found on the link below

As a point of clarification/expansion:

With regard to the Mensa organization, it is based on the "table" definition and the intent was to describe the "round table"-type inclusiveness of the organization where any person is welcome, regardless of race, sex, creed, etc. The only requirement being that a person is in the top 2% of the population in intelligence.

What are the signs of a genius?

Extraordinay ability or talent. Uses logic. And, frequently, arrogance or disdain towards others.

The previous statement is not only untrue, but unfair as well. I myself have an intelligence well above genius level and I am not arrogant nor disdainful towards others. I value others input and answers because I know that just because my IQ is high, doesn't mean I know everything. I may miss something that others see because we each have a different way of looking at things.

As for signs of genius? It depends on the age. For me, my school was never challenging, the teachers began giving me college grade work because I would finish the entire years work in a week.

Some individuals of genius level notice that they have a rather extensive vocabulary, a picture perfect (or nearly) memory. Some are also more creative than others (it all depends on the type).

If you believe that you or some one you know are a type of genius, the only sure way of finding out is to be tested. If it is a child, I recommend speaking to a guidance counselor at his/her school.

Geniuses tend to be emotionally distant, but very sensitive. Their humility comes from proper awareness, and oftentimes others' lack of ability to understand them.

The extra brain power is also thought to cause the quirky behavior often shown. Geniuses are not concerned about looks, and often will wear odd clothing, or clothing in an odd manner (Einstein only buttoned the top button of his topcoats).

Uniqueness. Originality. Unpredictability. Individuality. Objectivity. Practicality. Hard work. Incredible concentration/focus. Cautiousness. Awareness. Obstinacy. Childlike simplicity in appearance. Extra terrestrial complexity in attitude. Weirdness.

What is an IQ?

An Intelligence Quotient or IQ is a measure of an individual's intelligence, derived from a test that relies heavily on logical thinking, which may also include other elements in certain variations (such as simple philosophy). Simply, the IQ score is a quotient of an individual's mental age. The vladity of the IQ test is often questioned because of it's failure to account adequately for minds that think abstractly, as well as for it's reliance on time-keeping as a measure to test the individual's intelligence.

What are the two components of war?

Strategy and resources. Strategy is obvious: you need an entry plan and an exit plan for the war. Resources include anything from money, raw material, weapons, people, and even public support. Public support is what starts a war and keeps it going.

Ten days from Thursday it will be Sunday. What day of the week will it be 1 million days from Thursday?

1 000 000 = (7 x 142 857) + 1 The multiple of seven cancels out, since there are seven days in a week. So the passing of 1 000 000 days effects an advance of one weekday: it will be Friday. The question is intended to mislead.

Yes, but IQ has nothing to do with age. But your IQ will change in time if it is not.

The average IQ is approximately 100, and also, your IQ does not increase very much as you get older, it can [on average, about 3 points], but there's not usually a big difference. Hope this helps!

It can also decrease with age. However, the effect is not age on IQ, but error across multiple tests resulting in different scores despite the same IQ.
