The normal distribution, also known as the Gaussian distribution or bell curve, is commonly observed in nature and in social science research. The scores on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, like other measures of intelligence, are designed to follow a normal distribution, with most people falling in the middle of the distribution and fewer people scoring at either end (i.e., high or low intelligence).
