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.
Standardized IQ tests are designed so that the exact average (mean) IQ score in the general population is 100. An â average IQ scoreâ or ânormal IQ scoreâ can be defined as a score between 85 and 115 â between plus and minus one standard deviation from the average.
