As per wikipedia:
"An intelligence quotient, or IQ, is a score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess human intelligence. " I fail to see how IQ is "defined to follow a bell curve" as you wrote. The tests were designed so the answers distribution is a bell curve? In my statement above, just replace "Intelligence" by "IQ", I believe that's what being discussed. In any case, "Intelligence" can takes a thousand forms that I don't think IQ tests or even our vocabulary can really pin down. |

"When current IQ tests are developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation (SD) up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less"
Raw test scores are transformed so the test results distribute on a bell curve. Can't find a more precise definition though.
