I know what an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is, but I don't know the distribution
of IQs through the general population (besides, of course, one per person :-)).
I assume the mean IQ is 100, but what is the standard deviation?  Do IQs even
follow a normal distribution? (You'll pardon me if my statistics's terms are
used improperly, but I've not studied statistics in more than 10 years.)  I'd
appreciate it if someone out there could anwer my question or point me to a
reference that would have the answer.  I don't expect this to be of general
interest, so mail replies to me.  Thanks.
