Borderline intelligence

below-average cognitive ability (IQ 70–85) that is not as severe as intellectual disability (<70)

Borderline intelligence (also called borderline intellectual functioning or borderline mental disability) is a category of intelligence in which a person has lower than normal mental ability. IQ levels are between 70 and 85. It is not as bad as intellectual disability (IQ 69 and under).[1]

In school years, people with borderline intelligence are known as "slow learners".[2][3]
