The term, “IQ”, stands for Intelligence Quotient. These few numbers have long been a symbol of a person’s overall intelligence, whether high or low. We’ve put together a list of a couple of hundred well-known folks with sometimes surprisingly high scores.
Less than 2% of the world score above the 125 marks. The average IQ range for most people is between 85 to 115. Mental disability plays a major role in scores of less than 85.
The average IQ in the United States is 100. The most commonly known IQ range is:
91 – 109 = Average Intelligence
110 – 119 = Superior Intelligence
120 – 129 = Very Superior Intelligence
130 – 139 = Gifted
140+ = Genius or Near Genius
