The National Invitation Tournament (NIT) is a men's college basketball tournament operated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. There are two NIT events each season.

According to David Palmer's 2006 book, Parent's Guide to IQ Testing and Gifted Education, the average score for customary intelligence tests is 100 with a standard deviation of 15; approximately 50% of the population will score between 90 and 109 on a modern IQ test.
On the majority of modern IQ tests, the average IQ Score is set at 100 with a standard deviation of 15 so that IQ scores follow a normal distribution of statistical data. This means that approximately 95% of the worldâs population have scores within two standard deviations (SD) of the mean (average IQ score). If one SD is 15 points, as is common in almost all modern tests, then 95% of the population are within a range of 70 to 130, and 98% are below 131.
