No, it’s a percentile, based on standard deviations from the mean. So for example, if you have an IQ of 70, that means 98% of people are smarter than you, and if you have an IQ of 110, that means you’re smarter than 75% of people. But it doesn’t say anything about how many times smarter one person is than another person, even though most people think that’s how it works.

I don't think "how many times one person is smarter than another" is even a coherent concept in the first place. It's not like there's a standard linear unit for measuring intelligence. Maybe you could have a group of people with the same IQ collaborate to take a single IQ test, and then say something like "an IQ of 110 is worth ten IQ 100s", but that's sufficiently different from how the tests are designed to be used that the results probably wouldn't be particularly accurate.

It's standardized testing. I don't think there's any live comparison, like a battle royale.
But the thought of artificial intelligence being formed out of an intelligence quotient to then 'learn' from interacting with the public... Like why would you send your robot to public school?
