She didn't, that's just jew propaganda and even they don't say 90.

The tests given to Koko the gorilla were Cattell Infant Intelligence Scale, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Ravens Progressive Matrices and Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Chapter 14 of this document gives a description of those IQ tests. Research also showed that Koko was able to demonstrate some of the techniques required for abstract thought.
Meaning:
TL;DR:
We have information only from observational studies about the intelligence of apes and more rigorous studies excluding Clever Hans effects or research bias are needed for confirming whether apes can obtain better IQ scores than human children or adults.

Sounds like they gave an adult ape a test for undeveloped human children then took the projected human IQ and assigned it to the ape. Even if they administered these tests to a young gorilla, human development continues long beyond primate development. An 8 week old puppy is more capable than an 8 week old human, but the dog won't progress past a 2 year old mentally and will be sexually mature within the year.
I'm sure apes are on the smart end of the animal kingdom but you can't place a creature without language or abstract thinking on a human intelligence scale.

So, it has a 90 IQ for a stunted human child. That makes more sense. When you just say "90 IQ" I naturally assume adult European.

Nice info.
Also read that last line again but pretend they're talking about nogs.
