IQ scores

IQ scores, or Intelligence Quotient scores, measure a person’s cognitive abilities relative to others. They are typically derived from standardized tests that assess reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and verbal skills. The average IQ is set at 100, with most people scoring between 85 and 115. Higher scores indicate stronger performance in these areas, while lower scores suggest relative challenges. It’s important to remember that IQ tests do not measure all forms of intelligence or creativity, and factors like education, environment, and motivation can influence scores. IQ provides a snapshot of certain intellectual skills, not the full spectrum of a person’s abilities or potential.
