75

No, Forrest Gump's IQ is 76. Although his exact IQ is not mentioned in the movie, the book written by Patricia Wood (who should know, since she wrote the book and all) places Gump's IQ at 76. This detail adds to the plausibility of the story. If Forrest's IQ was 75, he would have been (at least in those days) classified as mildly mentally retarded (IQ of 51 to 75), or in less politically correct terms, a moron, and he probably would have been exempted from being drafted into the US Army.

Actually Gump's IQ was 160. He was a genius. Even his drill instructor assumed that. "This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. "

This is substantiated by everything Gump did, it wasn't by chance - everything he wrote and said was of natural critical thinking. If you don't understand that the movie was about a genius, you're pretty much an idiot!

The movie never specifically says, but in the scene where his mother is meeting with the principal of his school, he shows her a chart and indicating that Forrest is 10-20 points below the average mark. so about 70 to 80.
