English: National IQ scores as estimated by Lynn and Vanhanen in their book IQ and Global Inequality. Compared to the previous, PNG version, this SVG version has a consistent legend (one bucket is missing it the PNG version). Adjustments: data for South Sudan are from Sudan and data for Montenegro are from Serbia. Data used for generating the map:
The resulting IQ standard score is the subject of much investigation as psychologists check correlations between IQ and other life outcomes. The Wechsler IQ tests for adults and for children have long been regarded as the "gold standard" in IQ testing. [1] fMRI data showing regions of activation
The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life is a 1994 book by the psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein and the political scientist Charles Murray in which the authors argue that human intelligence is substantially influenced by both inherited and environmental factors and that it is a better predictor of many personal outcomes, including financial income, job performance ...

[6] Wechsler believed that "mental age norms clearly did not apply to adults." [6] Wechsler criticized the then existing Binet scale because "it did not consider that intellectual performance could deteriorate as a person grew older." [6] These criticisms of the 1937 Binet test helped produce the Wechsler–Bellevue scale, released in 1939.
Description: Current IQ tests typically have standard scores such that the mean score is 100 with each standard deviation from the mean counting for 15 IQ points. [1] The plot shows, assuming that such scores have a normal distribution, the percentage of people getting a score versus the score itself, from 55 to 145 IQ, that is over a span of six standard deviations.
Human intelligence is the intellectual capability of humans, which is marked by complex cognitive feats and high levels of motivation and self-awareness.Using their intelligence, humans are able to learn, form concepts, understand, and apply logic and reason.
By administering the Stanford–Binet test to large numbers of individuals selected at random from different parts of the United States, it has been found that the scores approximate a normal distribution. The revised edition of the Stanford–Binet over time has devised substantial changes in the way the tests are presented.
