normal humans are - by and large - smart enough to get the job done
Jury’s still out on that one chief
Comment on Are people still fooled by this dumb quiz's?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 day agoIt’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.

The world is built by normal people and ruined by “great” ones.

96C is hardly room temperature though.

Right. 70 is, though.

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.
Fucker better wipe my tree. >:(

I mean, safe bet that it’s within 10 points of 100. Guessing 96 is as valid as any other number in that range.
It’s free fertilizer! You should be thanking him!

At the end of the day, I take comfort in recognizing that no one knows me, and that both my contributions and my cringe will be erased from the shore of civilization by the tides of time. I’m not famous, not smart, not special, not a pedophile in charge of the country, I’m just nobody, and that gives me all the power I would ever want.
