IQ 140Giftedness
An IQ of 140 or higher means that a person has scored higher than about 99% of the tested population. The average IQ is set at 100, with a standard deviation typically around 15. An IQ of 140 or higher falls into the 'gifted' or 'highly intelligent' category.
Individuals with an IQ of 140 or higher tend to quickly absorb information and efficiently solve complex problems. They often possess strong analytical, logical, and abstract thinking skills. However, it's important to note that IQ measures only one aspect of intelligence and does not encompass the full spectrum of cognitive abilities, emotional intelligence, creativity, or practical skills.
Gifted individuals may excel in various fields such as science, mathematics, art, or music, but their abilities can also be unevenly distributed. Focusing on individual strengths and interests and providing opportunities for advancement and development is important.
