If we were to turn the word "well" as in "well above average" into a percentage, what percentage would it represent in your mind?
100 is by definition "average". I believe the standard deviation is something like 15 or 16. Of course, when you get out on the tails (>> 3 siogma), you run into two problems: as the number of humans (either currently alive or ever) is finite, the effect of the discreteness of the actual population becomes important, and while there are people who have IQ scores > 200, again by the definition of IQ scores < 0 are impossible.
The maximum score depends on the specific IQ test, so the actual score doesn't mean much if you don't convert it into a percentage. The test I took had a maximum score of 150, which gives me a score of 137/150 * 100% = 91.3%.
Not that I'm bragging or anything. :-)
