  • The IQ scale is distributed so that 100 is always the average score. That means, he is 22 points above the average, which is a considerable score that maybe less than 10% of people reach.

    • 100 is certainly NOT average in the scale I attached; the first one after a search online.
      If these things are that flexible in results and scoring, then what use are they?
      I've found;
      Stupid people can do well in school; they work very hard
      Smart people can do well; usually without working hard
      Really smart people usually do poorly; they're bored out of their skulls, most of the time.

      • You didn't get me: The IQ tests you find online are NOT using the actual averaged IQ scale, so their results are not necessarily reliable. If you want to have a reliable value, you usually have to do 2-3 scientifically approved tests.
        Their use is to determine your intelligence relative to the current average (which can in fact change, but is always defined as the value '100')
