8. What is the formula for IQ? The "quotient" refers to Binet's definition of IQ as (Mental Age) divided by (Chronological Age) or M.A./C.A. This quotient is then multiplied by 100 to make it a whole number. An 8 year old child with the mental ability of a 12 year old has a mental age which is 1.50 times his chronological age (12/8 = 1.5). Multiplying this quotient by 100 gives the child's ratio IQ: 150. Using this method, a child functioning at the average level for her age would obtain an IQ of 100. Modern IQ tests use a "deviation IQ" rather than a ratio IQ. With this method, test takers are referenced to other people of their own age. The average IQ is still 100, but deviations from the average are assigned a number which corresponds to a percentile rank. http://www.psychologicaltesting.com/iqtest.htm accessed 19 May 2011
