Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
To clarify here, I don't feel like I'm significantly smarter than most people, but I feel like people have a hard time doing any sort of thinking about stuff. Especially when it comes to verifying "facts."
You're viewing a single thread.
Not that high a number but there are some complete idiots out there.
Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of the population is stupider than that.
That's not how averagwa work.
On average, I think it balances out
It kinda is, but only if intelligence is perfectly normally distributed. (Spoilers, it kinda is)

By the current "deviation IQ" definition of IQ test standard scores, about two-thirds of all test-takers obtain scores from 85 to 115, and about 5 percent of the population scores above 125 (i.e. normal distribution).
