Low is what your IQ is.

Hi,

Yes, it's correct, but it's a relatively uncommon word order. It emphasises the word 'low'.

A litle more common, but still different, for this kind of thing is -

eg What your IQ is, is low.

eg What you are, is stupid.

The comma is more or less optional.

Best wishes, Clive
