State

Norms are the distribution of scores from the standardization sample, and intelligence scores are scaled to a normal curve.

Scores are set so that the population average is one hundred and most people fall within fifteen points of it.

Watch for

The distribution is imposed by scoring, not discovered. The curve is a design choice made explicit.
