Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常交谈、教育或心理测评、科普或新闻文章 IQ 是 intelligence quotient 的缩写，通常在日常谈话和一般书面语中都很常用；在更正式的语境里，也可以写成 intelligence quotient。
Pronunciation & Spelling
The final syllable of 'iq' sounds like /kjuː/: 'cue', 'queue', and the letter 'Q' are exact matches. 'Dew' (/djuː/), 'new' (/njuː/), and 'view' (/vjuː/) rhyme as well, all ending with the same /uː/ vowel (with a /j/ glide before it). Be careful: words like 'quit', 'quilt', and 'quiz' look as if they start with the same 'qu' but are pronounced with /kw/ (e.g., /kwɪt/), not /kjuː/.
