Mountain-style display tool


This tool is designed to help explain how standard scores (e.g. IQ) work- with the score sitting relative to the client's peers. The imagery of the mountain replaces the normal distribution curve, to give a more concrete, real-world explanation, which may be helpful for children in particular. The client can choose a name for their mountain, if they wish, and/or can insert their own name label for their score.

My mountain



Most people have scores in the middle of the mountain. The further away you are from the middle, the fewer people/scores there are.
