JD, with an IQ of 137

Isn't that close to being retarded?

No, anything but. As The Fool already pointed out, it's well above average.


JD

If we were to turn the word "well" as in "well above average" into a percentage, what percentage would it represent in your mind?



100 is by definition "average". I believe the standard deviation is something like 15 or 16. Of course, when you get out on the tails (>> 3 siogma), you run into two problems: as the number of humans (either currently alive or ever) is finite, the effect of the discreteness of the actual population becomes important, and while there are people who have IQ scores > 200, again by the definition of IQ scores < 0 are impossible.
