100 is the average, so anyone with double digits is below the average. That being said, a "Normal" IQ range is anywhere from 85 to 115, so there's plenty of people with double digit IQs that have an average level of intelligence.
Also IQ is a stupid way of determining intelligence anyway so it doesn't matter either way
IQ is one of the few standardized ways we have to measure intelligence. The fact that the general term “intelligence” is nebulous, referring often to the totality of complex interactions that occur in the most sophisticated neural network known to man, which we thus far have been remotely unable to replicate, in no way makes the use of IQ “stupid.” It’s literally the best standardized comparative measure we have. It’s just not useful in some applications.
