IQ is an abbreviation for 'intelligence quotient' and is nearly always written in capital letters, even in the middle of a sentence. It can be used as a countable noun when referring to a specific test result ('an IQ of 120'), or as an uncountable noun when talking about the concept in general ('IQ is measured through standardized tests').

常見錯誤

❌My IQ is very big.
✅My IQ is very high.
💡We describe IQ as 'high' or 'low', not 'big' or 'small'.
❌She has a good IQ.
✅She has a high IQ.
💡'Good' is vague; use 'high' for above-average scores.
