The idea

The original ratio IQ divided mental age by chronological age and multiplied by one hundred; the modern deviation IQ places a score among same-age peers on a scale with a mean of one hundred and a standard deviation of fifteen.

In practice

Average scores have risen about three points a decade, the Flynn effect.

Where people slip

Modern tests report deviation scores.
