IQ score guide

A score becomes useful when you can place it inside a clear range.

Most IQ discussions revolve around averages, percentiles, and score bands. The bell curve is one of the most familiar ways to visualize why some scores are more common and others are less typical.

Typical ranges

Most people cluster somewhere near the center, while fewer sit far from it.

55-69 · Far below average

Scores in this range sit well below the common center of the distribution.

70-84 · Below average

These scores are below the usual average range but still part of the wider curve.

85-115 · Average range

Most people fall here, clustered around the center point of 100.

116-130 · Above average

This range usually reflects stronger-than-average reasoning performance.

131-145 · Very high

Scores in this area sit well above the norm and represent uncommon performance.

How people read a score

A finished result usually makes more sense when it combines range, rarity, and reasoning profile.

A single score is only the starting point. Range labels, percentiles, and section-level interpretation are what help people understand what the result may actually suggest.

Score interpretation

Average and beyond

Many IQ scales are centered around 100. Scores above and below that point show how far performance moves from the common center.

Percentile context

Percentiles help translate a score into rarity by showing how a result compares with a larger reference group.

Section profile

A fuller result can also show whether pattern logic, verbal reasoning, numerical thinking, or spatial analysis came through most strongly.
