IQ的數值

大家都知道什麼是 IQ, 可是其實我們又知道多少? IQ 數值又代表什麼? IQ = Intelligence Quotient, 中文叫智商. 詳細資料可以到 Wiki 的網站看.

以往的 IQ 能力測試證明男女的 IQ 其實差不多, 不過精的範圍就不一樣了!

(Wiki) Most studies show that despite sometimes significant differences in subtest scores, men and women have the same average IQ. Women perform better on tests of memory and verbal proficiency for example, while men perform better on tests of mathematical and spatial ability. Although gender-related differences in average IQ are insignificant, male scores display a higher variance: there are more men than women with both very high and very low IQs.

偶然看到一個叫 IQ Basics 的網站, 講解不同 IQ 數值的意思. 當然, 那網站的內容是站主自己寫的, 有多準要自己評核.

其中的 IQ definition 包括:
140 and over – Genius or near genius
90-110 – Normal or average intelligence
Below 70 – Definite feeble-mindedness

還有”低能人”的分類:
70-80 – Borderline deficiency
50-69 – Moron
20-49 – Imbecile
Below 20 – Idiot

所以其實世上的 idiot 數量並不多 = = 普通人的 IQ 數值是100. 網路上的 IQ 測試不準 (會被網路速度影響); 現實的 IQ 也不見得準, 要看人當時的情緒和精神. 跟考試一樣, 那一天的狀態好, 當然會考得比較好… My conclusion is, IQ values should only be used as a guide and to give an idea of where you’re at comparing to the rest of the population; unless you want to feel down for having a low IQ or want to be snobbish over your high IQ.
