	Intelligence quotient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IQ scores are relative (like placement in a race), not absolute (like the measurement of a ruler).
		The average IQ scores for many populations were rising during the 20th century: a phenomenon called the Flynn effect.
		While IQ is sometimes treated as an end unto itself, scholarly work on IQ focuses to a large extent on IQ's validity, that is, the degree to which IQ predicts outcomes such as job performance, social pathologies, or academic achievement.

	Race and intelligence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IQ tests done in developing countries are likely to have been affected by conditions associated with poverty that are common in the developing world, such as nutritional deficiencies and the impact of diseases (for example, HIV, anemia or chronic parasites) that have been known to affect IQ test scores.
		The IQ gap is reflected by gaps in the academic, economic, and social factors correlated with IQ.
		Because IQ correlates with or predicts a number of social and economic outcomes that have been found to differ between the fl and white populations overall, it is possible that some of the disparities in outcomes are due to group differences in IQ.

	IQ scores: what they mean, how fixed they are, IQ in jobs
		IQ tests use a standardized scale with 100 as the median score.

		IQ gives a good indication of the occupational group that a person will end up in, though not of course the specific occupation.

	Statistical Distribution of Childhood IQ Scores
		IQ, or intelligence quotient, is generally used to refer to the ratio of a child's mental age to chronological age.
		A score of 116 was one standard deviation from the norm, corresponding to the 84th percentile, and a score of 132 was about two standard deviations from the norm, corresponding to the 98th percentile in the general population.
		For a chart of deviation IQs based on the normal curve, look here.Observed rarities of high scores were between the normal distribution (too rare) and logarithmic distribution (too common).

	[No title]
		Claims that IQ is a valid measure of intelligence tend to attract angry responses, in part because of studies that have attempted to link group differences in IQ with race.
		Yet researchers studying IQ say the social climate is becoming more receptive to such studies, in part because it is now widely agreed that cognitive abilities are shaped by environmental factors as well as genetic ones.
		IQ is a good predictor of performance at school and in the workplace.

	Definition of IQ
		The Practical Significance of IQ The average IQ of the population as a whole is, by definition, 100.

		Because IQ is based on average score of a population, both were said to have an IQ of 100 in their respective generations.

	Measures Taken To Compensate For Rising IQ Scores Affects Who Is Diagnosed With Mental Retardation
		To counter this effect, IQ tests are “renormed” (made harder) every 15-20 years by resetting the mean score to 100 to account for the previous gains in IQ scores.
		Nowhere are the consequences of IQ score fluctuations due to the Flynn effect more critical, say the authors, than in the determination of whether a death row inmate can be considered mentally retarded.

	VDARE.com: 10/21/04 - This Just In—Kerry's IQ Likely Lower than Bush's!
		Bush's 1206 SAT score on the college entrance exam and his C average at Yale have been public knowledge since the last election.
		Not surprisingly, the former vice president's' SAT scores were also strong but not stratospheric: Verbal 625, Math 730, for a total of 1355, which would equate to the upper 130s in IQ.
		For example, the average SAT score of today's Air Force Academy students is 1292 (using the easier post-1994 scoring system), compared to the recentered 1132 of the average Air Force officer during the 1975-1985 period.

	IQ + SAT scores
		Anyone with an IQ of over 132 should be able to get a 1400+ on the test, if you can't then you're most likely just a wrotten test taker (which would not make sense, considering you should be able to use the IQ and come up with the answers) and you're just worthless.
		A normal IQ test CLOSELY resembles the SAT I. Like I said, ideally, without any time to prepare/study, the SAT I would closely mirror what an IQ test is. (In addition, because it's pretty much possible to study anything, only IQ scores at a young age show innate reasoning skills).
		IQ tests, the ones we have today, are inaccurate in measuring anything but the level, or the quality, of the type of education we had over the years.

		IQs were developed to measure innate smartness, and some specialize on "g" which focuses on tasks which require the most mental processing, but there's no way to prove that's what they actually measure, and nobody thinks that anymore.
		The overall general agreement is that fluid IQ will increase until 16, and then stay at the same level for a few years (till 25 for some) and fall more and more sharply, the cristallized IQ will continue to increase till late in life, but soon not enough to compensate the fall of F-IQ.
