Cos average iq is around 90.... theres not much difference bw 90-120, a lil difference bw 121-150, above 150 guys are a bit smarter...
50 = retarded iq level
so if ur iq is anything less than 70 and u decide to lose 20 points...
could be a problem wun it?? |

lmao..
lol.
first, the average IQ is 100...if you knew anything about IQ or stats, you would know this.
I guess thats all, cause eh, you dunno what your talking about. So either your pissing, ting, puking, manstrating, or your iq is 47.23 |

I'd rather lose 20 iq points, you probably wouldn't even notice the difference. But you'd notice if you had to use a new hand to fap :wtf:
To answer Jamie's question. Rather lose an arm over a leg, I can't imagine having to use a prosthetic to kick and run and stuff...too creepy. |

Average IQ is always 100. It's that way because IQ isn't an objective measure, but a comparison with the general population. So if you end up with an average below or above 100, then it just means that the test needs to be adjusted accordingly. Scores below 50 and above 150 are extremely rare. Here's the distribution curve:
but if you understand what it means, an IQ score is completely meaningless. First of all, IQ mesures a bunch of different abilities, and the final score is a sum of all abilities tested, so it's already pretty meaningless. But even then, there are significant variations in patterns of responses in different cultures, so much that you shouldn't even compare scores from two different IQ tests.
It's popular because people like having a number value assinged to their 'mental worth' so they can say "ha-ha, I'm smarter than you are". But in reality, IQ tests are useful for locating disorders (like learning disabilities) by looking at patterns of responses. |

| 20 IQ points. While being less intelligent can cause you to earn a lower IQ score, getting a lower IQ score does not cause you to become less intelligent. So, losing 20 IQ points would not make you even one bit less intelligent. Losing an arm causes you to not have an arm. No way around that. |

can u explain it??? i feel like a moron when i can't get those. do u have to be really smart for those? i would imagine it's just pure critical thinking "outside the box".
but "thinking outside the box" for me is like those dumb little pictures of random things that actually mean something like, "diamond in the rough" and there's a a picture of a diamond between the words "rough" . i got a whole paper of those things in one of my classes and i was the only one who got all of them with no sweat. |
