IQ Score Chart

Scores use the standard scale (mean 100, standard deviation 15) — the same scale IQGrab uses. Your percentile tells you what share of people score at or below you.

How to read this chart

About 68% of people score between 85 and 115; about 95% score between 70 and 130. The middle of the chart is crowded — a few points near 100 barely move your percentile — while the ends are rare: scores above 130 or below 70 each cover only about 2% of people.

A single score is an estimate, not a verdict. IQGrab reports every score with a ±6 margin — a score of 100 means the true range is roughly 94–106. Small differences between two scores usually mean nothing.

This chart is a general guide for self-assessment and entertainment only. It is not a clinical diagnosis and should not be used for school admissions or hiring decisions. For a formal assessment, consult a licensed psychologist.
