[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These tests have got to be BS.  if 100 is average, where are all the people who get below 100?[/quote]

There's some confirmation bias. Those of us who scored well don't mind answering the question. But also, let's not forget the demographics of the DC are and DCUM. We are more highly educated than the average, and the IQ test definitely shows privilege bias.[/quote]

Maybe.   But the scores people are posting are exaggerated.  It doesn’t take a genius with a high IQ to see that.  It’s embarrassing.  [/quote]

People with very high scores - and I know some of them - would have no qualms posting their scores on an anonymous board, especially since it’s the kind of thing no one brags about publicly. So I don’t think that the scores people are posting are exaggerated. You don’t have to believe them, but your “it’s embarrassing” comes across as a little…I dunno…defensive. I’ll just remind you that IQ is ultimately meaningless and has no bearing on success in life.[/quote]
