Below average IQ
Below average IQ score is a symptom in which a person may have less than average intelligence. Sometimes, IQ is measured in children who appear delayed in brain development or have suspected learning disorders. IQ can also be measured after some damage has occurred to one's brain, to follow the changes in one's level of intelligence. An IQ score of 90-110 is considered "average".
