Are you as stupid as everyone thinks you are?!


An easy way to find out the answer to that question is by taking an IQ test. From doing so you will find out your IQ, or intelligence quotient, which is all the proof you need to know that you are, hopefully, either average or above average when it comes to intelligence.

IQ scores are supposed to be derived from a standardized test. The idea is that hundreds and thousands of people have sat the same exam, which then gives you a fair set of results from which you can work out an average score. All of the test results can be displayed on a Gaussian bell curve (see image). A graph like this clearly shows the amount of people with certain IQ’s. Most people (“on average”) have an IQ of 100, as you go toward the outer extremes you get less and less people with those IQ scores.

Basically, just try and get between 90 and 110. No one judges you if you’re outside that bracket, but being on one side is much better than the other!
