Also, you also have to take into account that if you are using this for a "worldly" comparison that different IQ tests are used depending on where you are located. The United States uses SD-15 or SD-16 scale, meaning that one standard deviation corresponds to ±16 points on the IQ scale. However, European IQ tests tend to use a SD-24 or SD-25 scale, resulting in discrepancies. Therefore, an IQ of 130 (+2 standard deviations) in the U.S. might correspond to an IQ of 148-150 in Europe. Due to these differences, percentiles are more accurate measurements than IQ numbers.
The numbers are well within the margin of error. I suggest that you find something else to base your arguement on. Plus, I would be quite interested to know where you got your data from.
