When test scores are placed on common scale, or standardized, direct comparisons can be made among them.

For Standard Scores the average is 100, with 90 to 110 often considered the average range.

The Percentile provides an estimate of the percentage of people that, if tested, would earn lower scores than yours. The average Percentile is 50 and the average range is usually considered to be between the 25th and 75th percentile.

The distribution of IQ score follows a normal distribution or bell curve. The majority of people will score within the average range, with less falling into the high or low ranges of intellectual ability. Bell Curve image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
