    IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient.

    It is a measure of how one performs on a standardized exam known as the Stanford-Binet test, which includes pattern recognition, memorization tasks and other knowledge prized by the Western world.

    There is a well-known quote from a psychologist which states that if an Aborigine drafted an IQ test, most of modern society would flunk it.

    intelligence quotient. Taking an I.Q test measures a person's intelligence...hence, I.Q level.

    It doesn't mean a lot.

    The letters stand for "Intelligence Quotient." It's the score from a test that supposedly measures intelligence - 100 is the "average" score, and higher scores imply more intelligence.

    The test and testing procedures are so flawed that the number doesn't mean a terrible lot.

    Intelligence Quotient.

    If you have an IQ of 100, it means you have an average intelligence, compared to other people your age.
