IQ or intelligence quotient is a measurement of how smart someone is. Scores are based on how advanced you are compared to other people your age.

IQ tests attempt to measure various aspects of general intelligence through the administration of activity tests. Most major IQ tests measure apparently different abilities. But they do correlate well.

People with low IQ scores are often disabled. This may or may not be permanent. People with very high IQs, along with other creative or able people, are geniuses.

People who have problems taking tests will also have problems taking an IQ test. They might be rated with a low score, and feel like they are unintelligent.
