The average of 100 by design corresponds to the populations of USA/Canada and Western Europe roughly speaking, so yeah, it is valid for places like Europe.
In other words, it's these populations that are the standard and by which the average is determined, I think.

>It changes constantly.
The only thing that changes constantly is the average, and it's for the worse - due to a myriad of environmental factors that are leading to a steady decline in cognitive ability of the general population.
So not only are there very few people who can get a PhD in physics, but their share of the population is becoming smaller.

IMO the difference between 125-135 isn't that great. A 105 can easily associate and socialize with 120s and 130s. The true difference is 150s and 135s. I feel like me and the people around me are all 130+ (I'm tested 133) but when I speak to the few people that make me feel retarded, I can't even begin to understand how they self teach themselves the things that they do. The people who were in accelerated classes with me and excelled (one of them never got below a 100% on quizzes and tests in AP Calc) were always the 150s who lacked some social skills but were genuinely geniuses.

Are you an actual brainlet??? Do you know how standard deviations work. The fact that you use plural makes me think you don't. 150 means 1 in 3000. Odds are there was/is 0-1 in your entire high school (not just your grade). Never getting below 100% on AP calc is so easy to do. Math in general is a total joke if you know what you are doing.

I'm a tested (via Mensa) 133. I got like an A- in AP calc, and to get that A- I had to try my ass off at the end of the 4th quarter. I was allowed to take AP Calc as a junior where most of the others were seniors, but they were all in the same boat as me. The 150s I speak of are the people similarly selected, like myself, that were in AP Calc as juniors. Also, yes I know how standard deviations work, and because I do, I know that in the private highschool of 10,000 students I attended there we're at least a few 150s, and probably more because of the better values and smarter, more successful parents everyone there was raised by.
