IQ 47
Moderate Intellectual Disability

An IQ of 47 indicates a moderate intellectual disability. An individual with this IQ typically faces considerable challenges in daily activities and often depends on others for assistance.

This IQ range is considered low and represents a small fraction of the population. IQ tests are not the only way to measure intelligence, and other factors also contribute to the overall intelligence profile. Additionally, it's important to highlight that individuals with low IQs can be supported to develop their abilities and improve their quality of life. Support can come in the form of special education and work programs, therapeutic and social services, or assistive technology.
