So, I had this theory that roughly 60% of people are below average when it comes to intelligence.
I?ve decided today that I was wrong and that roughly 80% of people aren?t the sharpest tools in the shed.
So by my logic if you are even remotely smarter than the average idiot then that puts you in the top 20% of the worlds population.
You're being far too generous even at 80%, if you ask me.
Nope. I'm a 1%er. I took several IQ tests on facebook and they all said I'm smart...[dig]
Ha. I think being the top 1% on Facebook puts you somewhere just below 50% in the real world.Quote:

You should wear this patch on your clothes to let everyone know you are part of the elite:Quote:

I mostly hang out with stupid people because it makes me look really smart.
My momma always told me I was a fart smeller.
The bell curve got squashed on the left.
You're closer to something than you think Ray. Check out this video about Zipfs Law and the Pareto Principle.

Top 20% of what top 20% of people calls it "bell curve."
Normal people just say "high iq dude" or "mensa man."
