I should specify that it's a common misconception among statisticians and psychologists and not simply we humble few.

@John Snider. That's actually a common misconception, recently disproved. Apparently IQ scores don't even follow the stastically analyzable non-normal curves that we're aware of. Interesting stuff, and also kind of bewildering. Check out the paper below:
Micceri, Theodore. "The Unicorn, The Normal Curve, and Other Improbable Creatures." Psychological Bulletin 1989, Vol. 105. No.1, 156-166

Do not get me wrong Nanumir, but don't consider yourself smart until you pass an STA class

You are an amazing teacher...

so it always appears to have a "bell-shape", that makes sense.
thanks
how is it known that IQ scores are normally distributed? I'm fairly smart and it doesn't make complete sense to me... was there like a major study done or something?

I'm back from vacation.
We know that IQ scores are normally distributed because when we take a fairly large set of random IQ values and plot them on a coordinate system, we always get a distribution in the well-known "bell-shape".
