Nominal data refers to non numerical data, for example categories, colors, etc...

Ordinal data refers to numerical data with a natural order, it comprehends real numbers.

Intervals comprehends data with equal distance between the values and no meaningful zero

Ratios comprehends data with equal distance between the values and a meaningul zero value.

With this in mind, the IQ scores of the college students represent numerical data, with a natural order, and the distance between the values is not equal, so you can classify the data as "ordinal"
