So, what base IQ score puts one in 98th percentile or higher? Is it true that there is a real bell curve of the populations' quotients centered at 100, the sort with sharply decreasing numbers of people as one looks farther from the center? It seems more likely than having scads of folk around, say, 70 and 130 each, with the average still at 100. I wonder what Mensa's acceptance rate is, and what the average IQ of the members would be.
