Do the Mail and IQ really go together?

Standard deviations of IQ tests are typically 15 or 16 points. So approx 2/3 of the population lie between 85 and 115, and 95% lie between 70 and 130. However, the curve is not a normal distribution and is skewed because there are more people with learning difficulties with very low IQs than there are people with over 150.

100 is considered average, most of the British public seem to be below this, careful asking this question on here cos all the certifiable genius's come out of the woodwork with IQ's of 200 +

121 is pretty good, I suppose I am reasonably bright (most of the time) as I work in IT, I scored 133 which I was pleased with so I got the wife to do it secure in the knowledge I would get one over on her and she went and scored 134, and still goes on about it.

Depends on the test, the National IQ test on TV tonight reckoned on 130 being the top 2%. On most IQ tests I score around the 150 mark, tonight I scored 130.
