Reading ability (and reading comprehension) is very correlated with IQ.
An IQ of 100 is not quite enough. Most people with that IQ can read (but not everybody, even discounting the dyslexics) and most people with that IQ can read relatively simple things.
And the global average is a lot lower than 100...
- lcouturi 2y agoIsn't the global average supposed to be exactly 100 by definition, or did I misunderstand how IQ works?
- peterfirefly 2y agoYou did (not your fault). Usually a Western country is used, often the UK. That doesn't really matter, though, as long as a sufficiently similar scale is used when comparing. Tests can be (and are) recalibrated sometimes.
- Suppafly 2y agoIsn't 100 set to be the average? How can the average be less than the average?
- ericmcer 2y agoWell you would need to know what the test looks like. If the bar is to understand the passage "The dog runs fast", You don't need to be a genius to comprehend it.
