IQs range from 0 to above , and among children, to above There is no other qualification or disqualification for membership eligibility. The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of can be the same as a score on another test.

Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentile as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Keith E. No matter.

IQ tests is a loaded issue because many people fear they may be discriminating and that IQ may not be a particularly practical quality in real life. Personally I think it's a perfectly valid endeavor to try to measure intelligence.
