You cannot have a standard deviation for 1 number.
Z-Score tells how many standard deviations a measurement is away from the mean.
You may be referring to the statistical term 'outlier(s)'. Also, there is a rule in statistics called the '68-95-99 Rule'. It states that in a normally distributed dataset approximately 68% of the observations will be within plus/minus one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within plus/minus two standard deviations, and 99% within plus/minus three standard deviations. So if your data follow the classic bell-shaped curve, roughly 1% of the measures should fall beyond three standard deviations of the mean.
The sum of standard deviations from the mean is the error.
95% is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
The mean for the WISC, like the WAIS, is 100. The deviations from 100, or standard deviations, are 15.

How many standard deviations is 16.50 from the mean?
Z-Score tells how many standard deviations a measurement is away from the mean.
That depends on what the standard deviation is.

The z-score of a value indicates how many standard deviations it is from the mean. If a value is 2.08 standard deviations greater than the mean, its z-score is simply 2.08. This means the value lies 2.08 standard deviations above the average of the dataset.
the Z score, or standard score.
In a standard normal distribution, the 90th percentile is approximately (1.28)
95 percent of measurements are less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean, assuming a normal distribution.
z score
The sum of standard deviations from the mean is the error.
To determine how many standard deviations away a value of 26 is from the mean of 16, subtract the mean from the value and then divide by the standard deviation. This calculation is as follows: ( (26 - 16) / 4 = 10 / 4 = 2.5 ). Therefore, a value of 26 is 2.5 standard deviations above the mean.
