How IQ Scores Work
IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is a standardized measure of cognitive ability expressed as a number relative to the general population. All of our tools use the Wechsler scale (mean = 100, standard deviation = 15), the most widely adopted standard in modern intelligence testing, including the WAIS-IV and WISC-V.
On this scale, a score of 100 represents exactly average performance for the general population. About 68% of people score between 85 and 115 (within one standard deviation), and about 95% score between 70 and 130. Scores above 130 place you in the top 2%, while scores above 145 represent roughly 1 in 1,000 people. Understanding where any score falls on the bell curve is essential context for meaningful interpretation.
Why IQ Matters for Career Planning
Cognitive ability is one of the strongest single predictors of job performance across occupations, particularly for complex roles in STEM, law, medicine, and finance. Different careers have different typical IQ ranges, not because employers screen by IQ, but because the cognitive demands of the work naturally attract and retain people with particular cognitive profiles.
Our Career-IQ Matcher and Cognitive Strength Finder are designed to help you identify roles where your cognitive profile is a natural fit, not just a ceiling. For a deeper look at the research, see our articles on cognitive job fit and what IQ scores actually measure.
How These Tools Are Built
Every calculation runs entirely in your browser using the same mathematical methods used by licensed psychometricians. No data is collected or stored. No account is required. The percentile calculations use the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the normal distribution, which is the industry-standard method for converting IQ scores to population ranks.
Career data is sourced from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) occupational projections. Famous person IQ estimates are drawn from published historiometric research (Cox, 1926; Simonton, 2006). Country-level IQ averages use Becker's 2019 National IQ dataset. All data sources are cited directly within each tool.
