Is God's judgment criterion-referenced or norm-referenced? In other words, does God grade on a curve?
Criterion-referenced grading compares achievement to an objective standard. Norm-referenced grading compares achievement to the performance of others, based on the normal curve.

Several scriptures hint that each person is judged as an individual. So God takes into account the natural gifts and talents we are given, plus the opportunities or challenges of our family and social environment. Some have the privilege, of meeting God in very real ways -in having visions or powerful dreams, albeit, such experiences bring their own responsibilities.
Those who have never heard the gospel will be judged on how they have obeyed their inner Light - namely, their conscience.
It's too long to put here, but go read the "The Parable of the Bags of Gold" in Matthew 25:14-46. It will explain how God looks at what a person does with the custodial gifts entrusted to him for a short time.
