An average person is expected to have an IQ between 90 and 100. The average IQ is always set at 100. According to research carried out by Scientists, about half of the population will have an IQ that ranges from 85 and 115 but an average person's can have a range from 70 and 130.

A certain percentage of the population also have an average IQ above 100 and a certain percentage also have an average IQ lower than 100. It is believed that people that fall in the range of the expected average IQ and above are often employable.

The average person's intelligence quotient or IQ is by definition 100. The average is always 100. A person's IQ may change through time depending upon the intelligence of people that are born or die. Your overall intelligence might be a little lower or higher sometimes.

Some say that IQ has the greatest significance to real-life functioning. 50% of the population has an IQ of 90 to 110, and the remaining 50% is split in half higher and lower. People with an average IQ can learn from written materials, and they are often employable.
