He Intelligence quotient (abbreviated as IC) is a measurement tool that allows the intelligence of a person or even an animal to be relatively accurately quantified. So much so that currently There are millions of facts and curiosities about IQ.
Starting from the acceptable theory of doctor and professor Howard Gardner, where 8 different intelligences are proposed, IQ largely quantifies what is considered logical-mathematical intelligence, also having a slight influence of linguistic and spatial intelligence.
So that, IQ attempts to quantify people's intelligence, which can be defined as a general ability that allows you to solve problems, reason, plan, understand and learn.

Curiosities about IQ (Intelligence Quotient)
Curiosity 1: IQ in the Global Population
The average global IQ score is 100 points, and a 50% of the entire world population obtains an IQ score between 90 and 110 points.
Furthermore, children usually inherit from a 40% to a 80% of their parents' IQ, with the childhood environment being the second most important factor in developing intelligence.
It is also worth noting that there is no cultural factor that causes any ethnic group to not comply with the standard distribution, and there is evidence that this average score increases by 3 points every 10 years.
Curiosity 2: IQ and Performance
Between 6 and 12 years old, a high IQ score corresponds to good academic performance, while a low IQ score corresponds to poor performance; This is true and the students' grades in the 70% cases can be accurately predicted.
This exact prediction percentage is reduced until the age of 22, where it is only possible to be correct in the subjects' 30% scores. Still, I find these figures surprising.
Curiosity 3: IC and Crime
Another of these interesting curiosities about IQ is that people with an IQ between 70 and 90 points are much more likely to commit crimes, in addition to knowing that academic failure is a very common characteristic among all criminals.
This does not mean (far from it) that all those who dropped out of school can be criminals, since it is not a correlation as such.
Curiosity 4: CI and the Army
If you want to join the Army of the United States of America you need an IQ score greater than 93 points, leaving a margin of up to 83 IQ points if the recruit has been recommended. Any score lower than this is considered to mean that the person in question will not have a performance that compensates for their salary.
Additionally, a higher score is required for the rest of the combat forces.
I will gradually update this entry and upload some more curiosities about IQ (Intelligence Quotient), I hope you like them.
