It’s the 27% Crazification Factor. I read this years ago and it never seems to fail.
25% also has an IQ lower than 90.
Yeah, but I know some pretty smart dumb people and some pretty dumb smart people. I don’t think it’s IQ thing, at least alone (don’t event really buy the whole IQ thing).
There is different types of intelligence people use. Those who are technically intelligent, but not…let’s say emotionally intelligent are why we see this happen.
Wish I had more upvotes to give, spot on.
Sure IQ has been misused a lot but IQ can still be used to estimate the demographic distribution of a population on one axis. Since it’s sort of normally distributed. Like BMI it should not be applied to individuals. It just shows how many people of a population deviate from the mean. And yes it’s not IQ alone, but still telling that those numbers are close.
it's basically our wolfman constant, only with wildly dangerous results
