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.

What an IQ of 154 really means is simply: People with IQ's of 120 and above tend to staff the professions as doctors, dentists, lawyers, teachers, and college professors.

Roughly half of college students have IQs equal to or higher than 115; roughly half have IQs equal to or lower than 115.

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.
