Average range is 85-115 Individually Administered IQ tests Group Administered IQ tests Flynn Effect- phenomenon in which IQ scores have increased over successive generations throughout the world. WHY???
9. Intelligence Measured as IQ Interpreting IQ scores Standard Deviation with bell curve IQ IS A SNAPSHOT OF A PERSON’S ABILITY AT A GIVEN POINT IN TIME- USE PRECAUTION! -3 SD -2 SD -1 SD Average +1 SD +2 SD +3 SD
