I watched it before going to work and people where just not listening to him .He went to great pains to explain that IQ is worked out as a comparison to the average .So if the population had an average IQ of 100 then someone with an IQ of 60 would be a carrot. And there are over 300 different methods of measuring IQ so a person with learning difficulties would not be measured in the same way that the average person is measured
