IQ Scores & Ratings
What is a good IQ score? What is a high IQ score? What is a low IQ score? These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test.
Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:
· Over 140 - Genius or near genius
·
· 120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
·
· 110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
·
· 90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
·
· 80 - 89 - Dullness
·
· 70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
·
· Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness
