[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago (1 child) I’ve got an IQ of ninety-six, which is good enough for me. It’s pretty high, just four points off the maximum. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago* (3 children) It's funny, because you literally never see people mention that they're within a standard deviation of the average, even though that's supposed to be 70% of the people who take the test. Everyone's either bragging about their 140 IQ or accusing someone else of being "room temperature". Nobody seems to understand 96 is normal human intelligence and normal humans are - by and large - smart enough to get the job done. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 child) I actually have no idea what my IQ is. I just say 96 cause it’s the shy side of perfectly average, and no one has any follow-up questions about that, and then the IQ conversation is fizzled out, and we can talk about more interesting things, like the guy who’s currently leaving a shit against my birch tree just outside.
