Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number in this score represents the average IQ score of the population, which is 100. Scoring at the 50th percentile means that you scored higher than 50% of the population who took the test and lower than the other 50%. Therefore, a score of 50 would be average, not the percentile score. A score of 150 is extremely high and would not be attained by scoring at the 50th percentile. A score significantly below average would be below the 16th percentile.
