hi mjl
I found this in DSM IV
Mild Mental Retardation: IQ level 50-55 to approximately 70 (most common)
Moderate Mental Retardation: IQ level 35-40 to 50-55
Severe Mental Retardation: IQ level 20-25 to 35-40
Profound Mental Retardation: IQ level below 20 or 25
also 80-90 low average
70-80 borderline IQ
