    Gtfo 100? Huh, I would have thought it would be higher, the intelligence quotient test does no such thing as measure intelligence however. They’re logic tests, and if you practice logic tests you get better at them, intelligence is the ability to learn, smarts is your compiled knowledge. If anything this IQ test measures your smarts.

    That said people are dumb as shit for many reasons.

      Despite the other person suggesting it is ‘higher now’, nope.

      It is by definition 100. (Mean not median as incorrectly suggested by me earlier. Those correction are valid and welcome.)

      But yes. 100.

      A lot of responses to my post have a lot of armchair this and that so I haven’t interacted with them.

      See for yourself. (Page 3-4)

      Scores are adjusted such that the median is ALWAYS 100. That’s how we do IQ. Every response to my previous post ignoring this and arguing otherwise should just be outright ignored.

      Ugh sorry. It’s them not you lol.

      It is by definition that the average IQ is 100. I responded to you and not them because you weren’t pretentious about getting new information. 🍻
