[quote=Anonymous]Low IQ as in intellectually disabled will present differently, depending on the extent of the disability, and everyone has a distinct personality.

If you mean lower than the DCUM average, you probably don't know who they are.  Avg IQ is 100, and it takes about an IQ of a bit more than 100 to successfully graduate from college in most cases, so that's probably who your average DCUMer is, lives with, works with, and socializes with.  But remember, most people in this country aren't college graduates, and you probably grew up with and regularly interact with people on the other side of 100 on the bell curve if you didn't grow up here or a place like here.

A person with an IQ of 80-100 isn't stupid, won't present as stupid and in fact, might blow you away with whatever specialized skill they may have acquired.  Everything is geared toward them--television shows, popular culture, magazines, etc.  They are the common denominator.

If your IQ is 120+ and you are paying attention, you could probably figure out the cognitive differences though, largely in abstract and critical thinking.  A person with an IQ of 80 follows instructions at works and will need oversight and will make mistakes that need corrections.  A person with the IQ of 100 can provide the oversight in accordance with an SOP.  A person with the 120+ IQ is making decisions on exceptions to rules, that's one example.
