Real data, not theory
What people actually score
Almost every IQ test site shows you the textbook bell curve. This is our real data: 979 tests completed on iqmetria, with their scores, their times and their hit rates.

Score distribution
Each bar is a 10-point IQ band. These are the results exactly as they came in, with nothing trimmed or smoothed.
Why this distribution is skewed (and we say so)
In the general population you would expect about 16% to score above 115. Here 43% do. That does not mean our participants are smarter: it means people who choose to take an IQ test are not a random sample. It is called self-selection bias and it affects every online test, including the ones that present their internal distribution as if it were the population's. Read your percentile as “compared to people who take this test”, not “compared to humanity”.
