"you are smarter than 8% of people" sounds better than "you are dumber than 92% of people"

The fact that he can read is honestly an accomplishment that should be applauded
There's no way this isn't satire though, right? Like even if you know nothing about IQ, surely they've seen Forrest Gump or something that describes two-digit IQs as bad (I hope)
100 is just the average. Most people score within 15 points in either direction of the average. The point being that 2 digit IQ occurs in about half the population. That said, his 79 still means he is dumb.
You say that as if IQ tests actually mean anything more than an ability to solve IQ tests.
I mean, there are many problems that share aspects with IQ tests ... but real problems aren't nearly as sterile, so the point still kinda' stands that a high IQ does not mean increased real-world problem solving.
... still, if I had to put money on someone, I'm putting it on the IQ above 79!
The point isn't whether the tests objectively mean anything. It's that the guy in the picture is claiming it does. He's saying it's showing his superiority while he can't even comprehend the implications of the result chart he posted.

They are relatively useful at comparing how mentally adroit you are with your peers.
I have a relatively high IQ and I'm fairly mentally adroit, but the things that I'm stupid on I got stupid on them faster than people with lower IQs would have.
I also know somebody who has an 85 IQ and a PhD and she's fucking brilliant. She just feels that she had to put more work in because of her IQ and so she did.
If I had done the same I might be on the same level as her but I am not.
Yeah, the real trick to getting a PhD is perseverance and masochism.
Diploma by attrition. LOL

This is fake right? I'm sure I've seen this format before.
Regardless, "heels up harris" is just fucking awful on so many levels. I don't think I realised how ugly this is going to get.
God I want her to win so bad, if for no other reason than to see these maga fruit cakes frothing at the mouth about an Indian Jamaican smart powerful woman as POTUS.
I want trump to have to watch himself lose HARD to her as the country denies him, then see his second civil war fizzle out as a wet fart of a revolution, all right before he slides into the fear and confusion of dementia taking his mind from him...and dies forgotten by anyone that matters.
I hope nobody ever forgets this man or the awful things he wrought upon the country and world. I hope his name becomes synonymous with idiot, fuckup, corrupt, or just plain king dumbass.
I want society to reflect on his life and presidency as such a failure that his most ardent supporters and enablers find themselves incapable of being seen in public for fear of intense, unending ridicule.
I hope history books being written today adequately portray him in such a way that even MAGA teachers feel incapable of defending him to their students. I hope the fascist third of American society is faced with the reality of their choices and that it follows them until the end of their days.

8.1% of people is less than half the number of children (age 0-17) in the US in 2021 (22.2%).
That guy is literally dumber than a 5th grader.
Amazing

Scores of 70 to 79 are considered borderline impaired.
Depends on the test, and the tests themselves are generally bullshit. At least, if you took the test result on its own without ant further information and used it to form a diagnosis.
Room temperature IQ
As a non-american, that insult is far more devastating
What does 21 (celsius) IQ even look like? Smart as a seagul that basically functions around the concept of eating whatever you can, shit on anything you can't?
Intelligence is generally dependent on way too many variables to be represented by a single constant, so it could literally look like anyone in the right scenario
(Einstein's just waking up with a headache, Schrödinger going through a breakup, Feynman after working a shift at McDonald's)
hm, that's not entirely right
the way IQ is tested, for a person who normally gets Einstein's estimated ~160, they'd need to have a headache approaching 10 on the pain scale to score significantly lower than usual, and mostly likely still score relatively high. There's very few circumstances where Einstein would score a 20, like the man would have to be on a hard drug cocktail, hangover, mid-flu, and starving, and by that point it could only be an estimate because there's no way in hell anybody would sit down for an up to 4h proper test to check it

I'm saying this as someone with an IQ degradation kink who took random IQ tests online with uhm, let's say a few insertable disadvantages, porn playing in the background & horny out of my mind, and I still scored max 2-3 points below the score I got during a proper WAIS assessment, it was such a turn off lmao
What? You can't reveal that about yourself and expect us to just move on. I'm not judging or anything, I just wonder how this "works" for you. Please share.
😭
if you're asking for my subjective analysis of why I have that kink here's what I've worked out:
i'm not a fan of sharing my IQ score because it feels stupid to me to be bragging about a number but it's rather above average. I've been seen as the "smart but lazy" kind of person my entire life, endless streams of "you have so much potential, if you only applied yourself!" drove me to the point where not excelling, or not being immediately good at things, or struggling with something overall makes me feel like a failure. The ever present echo of those words provides me guilt every day, even now after I figured out what's happening I can't fix it.
Nobody clocked my ADHD until I figured out I have it on my own, because ADHD kids are supposed to be bad at the whole school thing and I wasn't. (& it took 3 psychiatrists to finally find someone who understood what I was going through, the first 2 said it's probably depression and anxiety because again, I did well at school and seemingly didn't struggle at all with all the tests they gave me) The only time I was actively studying was when I attended classes, barely ever studied outside of school, never did homework, never did assigned reading - and still had good grades, "you have so much potential, if you only applied yourself!" around every corner.
That's the backstory, now why that kink gets me off? It feels freeing, it feels freeing to even if for a brief moment have no expectations whatsoever put on me, to be just a dumb horny boy not able to do anything on his own, stupid bottom who needs cuddles . It refreshing to feel like I'm just too dumb to do anything right, so I can forget for a while about all the "potential" I have and don't use.spoiler
and a good plowing of his holes
so yeah, my "twice exceptional" ass enjoys feeling like a himbo because of gifted kid burnout. And let me tell you, a big big group of the IQ degradation kink enjoyers are like me lol
hope that was insightful lmaoo

The rhyme I learned for centigrade is:
"Thirty is hot
Twenty is pleasing
Ten is not
And zero is freezing"
So rounding down to "twenty is pleasing", I'm assuming this means the dumb lovable kind of idiot who knows they're not the sharpest creation in the shed and is A-OK with it

Oddly, exactly the number my thermostat said when I woke up today.
men have naturally higher IQs and more capable of leading people.
We know he didn’t do well on the grammar portion of the IQ test. Or whatever is on one, I’ve never taken it….I’m too afraid that my feeble woman brain will become hysterical and require aromatic spirits.
I prescribe medical masturbation
(Is this funny or insensitive? I'm a lady but I'm high as shit so I really can't tell sorry)
The tie in to the old timey cure for a woman's hysteria being dildo'd by a doctor is very on point humor in response to the lady above you....so yeah, it is kinda hilarious, but might not hit for people that don't make that connection.
ALSO, if you didn't do that intentionally, that is somehow funnier.

Have to expect that kind of speech from that level of intelligence
Ah yes, we have all heard about the 91%ers. Truly the cream of the crop we all aspire to.
The fact he paid for an online IQ test is all the information one needs to ascertain this dude's intelligence.
This tweet is an advertisement by the company that runs the tests no?

I just want to say, for the record, this dude paid for this score because I just went to the website and did the test, and it’s a paid thing. Imagine paying to find this out… I mean, I guess he’s happy!
