An IQ above 80

whatishighfunctioning:

An IQ above 80 is one definition of high-functioning, never mind that IQ tests are inaccurate especially if one is disabled.

Actually I’ve seen everything from 65-90 used as a cutoff. Which means (at last testing, may be different now, it changes massively every time and last time was 9 years ago) I’m apparently both high and low functioning depending on where the cutoff line is said to be this week. Or “mid functioning”. (I loathe functioning labels if it’s not obvious.)

Interestingly enough the cutoff for intellectual disability has changed a good deal too. At its highest it was 85, if I remember right.
