I was thinking about this. I went to university, and I worked in tech for decades. I met many assholes but I didn’t meet anyone that would fit on the left half of the bell curve (less than 100 iq).

Since I’ve been living in that bubble my entire life, I’m curious of your stories. Have you met someone who was actually quite dumb (not just having opinions you don’t agree with) and do you have an example situation you remember you can share?

Hopefully this becomes more funny than hateful since intelligence is not the value of a person, but it can be funny to read the stories.

    I have.

    I have doubts about the veracity of the test however, I got something like a 30 because they changed the numbering on the answer sheet and apparently noticing that is part of the test…

      A 30 would mean you have profound disability, could not take care of yourself. Possibly need assistance just to feed yourself, etc.

        And given that I am at least capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, I dont think the test was accurate.

      Someone with a 30 IQ would not be able to form complete sentences. That’s nearly five standard deviations below the mean.
