IQ is a measure of human intelligence. The higher one's IQ score, the more intelligent that person is considered to be.
The scores typically reflect the quality of education and resources available to people in their local geographic region. Areas of the world with lower IQ scores are typically poorer and less developed, particularly in the area of education, compared to countries with higher IQ scores.
An IQ score of 85 to 115 is considered a normal IQ level. And if the score is 130 they are considered to be slightly more intelligent than normal. If the score exceeds 160, one is considered to be a genius.
