Read it again:

"By definition, at least 50% of the population have an IQ not greater 
than the median and at least 50% have an IQ not less than it. (Note 
that if a large number have an IQ coinciding with the median, then 
there will be more than 50% in each category)."

That is, if a persons IQ is exactly the median, then that person is 
both in the group "not less than the median" and in the group "not 
more than the median".
