Scores are structured to form a normal distribution around a mean of 100, with a standard deviation of 15
As a result:
66% of the population will score from 85 to 115
95% of the population will score from 70 to 130
99% of the population will score from 55 to 145
Half a percent will score above and below 3 standard deviations, but that has no statistical significance... it falls into the noise created by trying to measure a poorly defined concept (intelligence) using a coarse testing instrument
