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 agree with you actually about everything. It is very hard to capture a person’s intelligence with a single number like we do in the tests, and I think we all know it’s not actually accurate. But we do it anyway because it has a certain amount of likelihood of being close to the truth, and it’s useful for hiring people.

    I know that a human being is so much more than that and I dont personally care about intelligence when I pick friends. I just care about how they make me feel and how we feel together. Having a good time is the most important thing and to me, that’s not solving puzzles together. :)
