    It kinda is, but only if intelligence is perfectly normally distributed. (Spoilers, it kinda is)

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification

    By the current “deviation IQ” definition of IQ test standard scores, about two-thirds of all test-takers obtain scores from 85 to 115, and about 5 percent of the population scores above 125 (i.e. normal distribution).
