If my iq is 117 am i thick?

Answer 1

You're "smart by comparison" — smarter than around 86% of people, but that 86% is "not so smart." 86% of the population has an IQ under 115.

From my reading, and I'm sorry that I can't find the reference from where I read this information:
115 is the intelligence needed to perform a job that requires the following:
The aptitude to learn multiple predefined tasks
The ability to discern the situation in which to perform each task
The ability to perform simple mathematics and verify the accuracy of the calculations.

... like a bank teller.
