It's a normal distribution bell curve with a stndard deviation of 15.

At least we think so. It's possible it could be asymetrical, or other variations, but those usually mean more than one data-set is being inadvertently collected.

My IQ is supposedly 145-150, but I also don't take IQ seriously, either. I only like it as an easy quantitative way to quickly assess someone's logical thinking skills, like a grade on an exam, even if it's just a snapshot of someone's "intelligence." Like me saying, "AOC can't have an IQ above 75; she's that retarded."
