What level of Intellectual Disability has an IQ score in the 70-50 range?

• A. Moderate Intellectual Disability
• B. Mild Intellectual Disability
• C. Severe Intellectual Disability
• D. Profound Intellectual Disability

Answer: (B)

IQ ranges are used to categorize levels of Intellectual Disability. A score roughly between 50 and 70 falls in the mild category, which is why this option is the best match for an IQ in the 70–50 range. People with mild Intellectual Disability typically have noticeable academic learning delays but can develop practical life and social skills and often live with supports or relatively independent living with some assistance. The other levels correspond to lower IQ ranges and greater support needs, which don’t align with a score around 50–70.
