The people that they service could just download this off the internet. I thought by making this more common knowledge, people might be able to benifit by downloading the program for free rather than hire the Geek Squad and pay a ton of money. Jan 4, 2006, 4:09 PM.
IQ Rating Scale Deciphered! The IQ rating scale is a mathematical expression to compare your mental age with your chronological age, and the result is multiplied by 100 for normalization. Lewis M. Terman, professor of psychology, is quoted to give IQ rating scale a mathematical name of âIntelligent Quotientâ.
An IQ score of 70 or below is considered a low score. Remember, on most standardized tests of intelligence, the average score is set at 100. Anything over 140 is considered high or genius-level. Sixty-eight percent of all scores fall within plus or minus 15 points of the mean (so between 85 and 115). So what does it mean to have a score 70 or below? In the past, an IQ score below 70 was considered a benchmark for mental retardation, an intellectual disability characterized by significant cognitive impairments. Today, however, IQ scores alone are not used to diagnose intellectual disability. Instead, the criteria for a diagnosis includes an IQ below 70, evidence that these cognitive limitations existed before the age of 18 and limitations in two or more adaptive areas such as communication and self-help skills.
