What is the "average" IQ in the UK?

Question

Does anyone know?

I scored 106. I think that's average, right?

Answer 1

The average range for global is set at 100-110, I think outside of 20 in either direction you move into the next category (Gifted or functional r****d) and another twenty or so outside of those to the yet next tier.

So yes, you are average. Run of the mill. Boiler plate. But that's not terrible, because in theory, you're better than 3 billion or so people worldwide.

BTW: 192 ^^
