Question

What can a person with a 60-70 i.q. do academically, socially and everyday tasks?

Answer 1

This is considered a mild intellectual disability.

IQ (60-70): About 87% of those with a developmental disability will be a little slower than normal in learning new information. Mild disability may not be evident or even diagnosed until they school. Even if poor performance levels are recognized, it may take expert assessment to distinguish mild mental disability from a learning disability or behavioral problem. As they become older some can grow and be considered "slow" rather than "Retarded" based upon their progresses.

Most of them can live independently, read, drive, cook, marry, raise children,  etc.

Answer 2

we can do everything but will take us longer and I have a iq of 60 and i plan to go to college. We are just slower at learning things. But i can say  i can do lots of things and very smart. :)

I am planning to collect money for autism. I like to do lots of things and love to read. I have social skills that are low and but they will not be like that  when i start socializing more with others so i am in behavior therapy which helps my behavior and helps my social skills. I have mild mental retardation.

Answer 3

Most things "normal" people can do if they work hard and get the right type of education. Remember, IQ doesn't determine how smart a person is. A low IQ doesn't prevent a person from doing well. Disabilities, brain damage, drugs and alcohol, mental retardation (not meant offensively), and things like that can hinder a person's progress in a world but not low IQ. =]

Answer 4

These people can do almost everything people with a higher I.Q. can accomplish. They can graduate from high school, even attend trade schools, find employment, live on their own, drive, get married, have friends, ect. You have probably met several people with this I.Q. range and never even knew it!
