Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the DSM-5, individuals with an IQ between 50-70 are classified as having mild intellectual disability. Frank's IQ of 60 falls within this range, and although completing only fifth grade education may suggest some limitations, the fact that he is self-supporting indicates that he has functional skills that allow him to live on his own. Therefore, he would most likely be classified as mildly retarded.
