Actually, IQ is a measure of your ability to adapt logic to NEW situations. So the idea of an IQ test would be to have different types of logic-based questions that you\'ve never seen before/aren\'t commonly seen. A simple algebra question (2x + 3 = 15; find x), for instance, shouldn\'t be on an accurate IQ test. So people with a higher IQ will learn quicker, but you can only learn what you are taught or find out, or seek out. That is why people with high IQs aren\'t always smart and vice-versa (in either way). Hopefully that answers Bass v3\'s question too, when adding that IQ stands for \"Intelligence Quotient,\" though that was already stated, assuming Bass v3\'s question was not sarcastic.
Farseer, an IQ of 80 or below is considered mentally retarded. Ha... I know someone who\'s IQ is like 83 or so... (yes she is stupid), she is abusive; why are stupid people always so much less likely to be nice, unless they\'re retarded, in which case they\'re usually the nicest people you\'ve ever met?
