Question

Ryan, aged 18, has an iq of 65. this suggests that he has a ___________ level of intellectual disability.

Answer 1

Mild intellectual disability

Step-by-step explanation:

Intellectual disability occur when someone has an IQ of less than 70 to 75. There are four levels of intellectual disability, ranging from profound (below 20), severe (20 to 35), moderate (36 to 51) and mild (52 to 69). Ryan (65) therefore has a mild intellectual disability; this means that he is slower than average when it comes to learning new information or skills.

Answer 2

A person with IQ of 65 is suffering from mild mental disability

Step-by-step explanation:

IQ or intelligence quotient is a score that is calculated from taking a standardized test. This is said to measure the intelligence of an individual. The highest ever recorded was 228 and the lowest is 48. The normal range is between 85 to 115.

Persons with IQ of 65 are classified to have mild mental disability. These persons will have difficulty reading but are able to be successful at recognising words.

This suggests that these individuals have a lower verbal IQ. But the scores are calculated that this does not affect their performance IQ.

Overall, a person with any type of mental disability is not different to others as far as basic human rights. Observing and monitoring their IQ levels do nothing more for them like offering a good quality of life.
