[quote=Anonymous]OP - look at these charts for bell curves for I.Q. standard deviations.  100 is normal and that is the top of the bell curve.  Each stardard deviation away is 34.1% of the population.  It's a stastistical analysis taught in psychology classes to help with classification.  Note there is no top or bottom to the bell curve.  So there is no top I.Q. score.  At both ends, it just becomes easiers for technicians to say "we are dealing with four standard deviatons above or below normal" for whatever the testing subject it.  For example, my DC, while having an I.Q. 3 standard deviations above nowmal, has processing speeds, 2 standard deviations below I.Q; hence, the brain is working fast but the child has difficulty framing sentences or getting thoughts out because thte brain has already moved onto the next thought.
