Intelligence quotient (IQ) and its impacts have been studied heavily in previous research. However, studies have not yet sufficiently applied IQ to an academic environment, especially in high-school aged students. To fill this gap in the field of study, this study utilized a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods to measure trends in the behavior of students at different IQ levels and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of student populations. The study’s participants, comprising of 21 high schoolers, voiced and quantified their opinions on their personal experiences regarding stress, study habits, and academic success. Ultimately, the trends in high IQ and low IQ groups suggest that IQ is a valuable statistic in educational environments which can be used by educators to improve student weaknesses. The exposure of IQ scores in academic settings would provide crucial insight into the behavioral trends of student groups and can make a lasting positive change in education.
