The IQ range from 10th percentile is 105.

I got into an argument with my brother in law about this very issue.

Me: "You don't have to be particularly intelligent to be a doctor."

Him: "Yes you do!"

Me: "My point is that the 10th percentile is 105, with the 50th being 120."

Him: "That sounds about right."

Me: "Then you don't have to be exceptionally intelligent."
