What is the average on IQ test?

The average IQ is 100, with two-thirds of the population having IQs between 85 and 115, and 95% of the population having IQs between 70 and 130.


What is the IQ out of?

IQ follows a normal distribution (bell curve) around the mean, usually 100. Since the normal distribution is horizontally aymptotic, technically a possibility exists for any IQ score. Therefore the concept of IQ is not like a test score even though IQs have to be obtained by taking multiple tests.


What is unit of measurement of IQ?

It has no unit; it is just a number, which is based on a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. The "average" person has an IQ of 100. There is a standard error associated with calculating IQs of a 95% chance that the actual IQ is within the range of the given IQ ± 4; which means that someone with an IQ of 102 could actually have less of whatever it is the IQ tests measure than someone with an IQ of 100.


What is the highest IQ ever recored?

The highest IQ ever estimated was the 300 IQ of William James Sidis. The highest IQ of a person alive today and recordedis the 228 IQ of Marilyn vos Savant. Both of these IQs were ratio IQs, meaning they were calculated by figuring out the person's "mental age" based on how many questions they answered and then using the formula Mental age/chronological age * 100. IQs are no longer calculated this way.

What is an average IQ score of a lawyer?

Although there is no very reliable study of the average IQ of lawyers, most estimates place it between 115 and 130, in the "high normal" to "superior" range. Of course, since that's the average, that means there are lawyers with IQs below that and also lawyers with IQs above that.

What is the Average IQ for 17 year old female?

It is very normal. Don't worry about being different. Answer 113 is actually "high-average". To give you some idea what that means in the context of large groups of people with similar IQs, the average college student has an IQ of approximately 115. Roughly half of college students have IQs equal to or higher than 115; roughly half have IQs equal to or lower than 115. If a prediction were to be made based only on IQ, a young woman with an IQ of 113 should be very comfortable with college-level academic studies.

Which has more variation the IQ scores of 30 students in a statistics class or the IQ scores of 30 patrons watching a movie?

I would say 30 people sitting in a theatre have more variation in their respective IQs primarliy because it is a more random sample. Assuming that the testing involves a U.S. only sample and assuming that the statistics class is a college level class, one can argue that the 30 students will all have average to above average IQs since they all have the desire to go to college and have been admitted to college. On the other hand, there is no variable that allows one to discern if the theatre goers have same or similar IQs.
