An IQ question.

[Opaque]

I was just wondering if any of you guys knew the general Idea of what IQs are low, high and genius?

If anyone knows the breakdown I would greatly appreciate knowing it.

I think 80 is considered retarded. Below that...even more retarded.

I believe 100 is average, 70 is retarded, and 140 is genius.

Opaque even if you're a genius that doesn't mean you will
know how to apply those skills, nor does it mean you can
grasp proper Social skills. IQ tests are worthless IMO, but
I won't front we have people here that are members of Mensa
or were invited to join.

I believe 100 is average, 70 is retarded, and 140 is genius.

I've heard different things about genius level - some say 150, some 165. All I'll say is that if 140 is genius level, I went to a school with alot of geniuses who weren't exactly geniuses.

EDIT: Here's the Stanford Binet scale. There are several different ways of quantifying IQ; this is just one scale.

132 and above Very superior
121-131 Superior
111-120 High average
89-110 Average
79-88 Low average
68-78 Slow learner
67 or below Mentally retarded

EDIT Again: Googled this one, don't know what it's called. But you can see how the difference in scales can make things confusing, especially since they all use different terminology and often varying methods of determining the quotient.

IQ SCALE
Average: 85 - 115

Bright: 116 - 125

Gifted: 126 - 135

Genius: 136 - 145

Superior: 146 - 165

High Superior: 166 - 180

I got 153 on an IQ test.
I really do not consider myself a genius. I'm not rich or have any immediate ideas on how to become rich, so I guess IQ tests lie.
