Full Scale IQ Scores

Other sources generally cite IQ scores and their labels something like:
 

below 70-75	Mentally Retarded *
70-79	Borderline MR *
85-99	Lower normal
100-114	Upper normal
115-129	Bright
130-144	Gifted
145-159	Highly gifted
160-above	Profoundly gifted

Full Scale IQs between 90 and 110 are considered within the "average range" (Mean IQ score is 100).

* = source "Children with Mental Retardation" A Parents' Guide", (1993, Pub.Woodbine House Inc., p6).
