Iq = Mental Age - So What’s Yours

IQ or intelligence quotient, is thought to be a matter of everyday experiences which makes some people smarter than others. But, how do we measure smartness or intelligence and do you buy into this concept?

The average IQ of the U.S. population as a whole is 100 (by definition). Our IQs range from 0 to above 200, and among children, to above 250. In so much as 50% of the population have IQs between 89 and 111, and further more about 80% of the population have IQs ranging between 80 and 120, with 10% lying below 80, and 10% falling above 120.

IQ’s by Occupations

.

In 1905, a French psychologist by the name of Alfred Binet, working with a physician-associate, Theodore Simon, developed the Binet Simon Test designed to measure the intelligence of retarded children, based upon their observations that.
(1) Just as children grow taller as they grow older, they grow more mentally capable as they grow older; and
(2) Some children can perform at age and equivalent-grade levels above their chronological ages, while other children perform at age and equivalent-grade levels below their chronological ages.

.

For example, a few 6-year-olds could perform as well on the Binet Simon mental tests as the average 8-year-old, while a few 6-year-olds could only perform as well as the average 4-year-old.
