Here I just assumed all online IQ tests always vastly inflated the results to make their idiot users feel smart and hand over money for the certificate or whatever.
How ironic…
The site didn't make clear that's not a good thing
Hahahahahaha ha, omg, the irony
That's comedic brilliance right there.
Don't use the site, they want 1.99 USD
I can't tell if this is real or not, fantastic!
It is not what you have, but what you do with it.
Eh... It says that in a room with a thousand people you would be smarter than 345 of them.
That's the same as saying in a ranking where no. 1000 is the smartest and no.1 is pretty much the dumbest person, you would be number 346.
Above average that has to count for something right?
...
Until you remember that the literacy rate is only slightly higher than that and the average person is a sustenance farmer.
You just better be glad this survey almost certainly doesn't take selection bias into account and these numbers mean literally nothing.

My IQ is so high, I don’t need to brag about it.
My iq is even much higher than yours and I also don't need to brag about it.
My IQ is so much higher than yours that I can't even count it, and I also don't need to brag about it.
Mine is higher than you can count, so just forget about it. And I also don't need to brag about it btw.
Yeah, but I brag so much about my high that I don't even need to count about it!
I count so much brag that I don't believe you anymore.
What you think the site should be like "Congratulations, you're a retard"
Maybe it should just say "this means your intelligence is below average". I genuinely think someone with <80 IQ would have a very low chance of understanding the text as presented in the screenshot.
Stupid people are people with human rights too, and they should be considered with empathy when building a society. That should be particularly obvious to a site that performs IQ tests. For every person with an IQ above 100, there's a person below.
The thing is, people with low IQ and stupid people are two different groups. My IQ was once tested over 140, and I have done, and still sometimes do, some pretty stupid stuff. I can also be quite dense.
50% of the people is more stupid than average
Actually, 50% of people are less intelligent than the median. 99% of people could be smarter than average with just 1 extra stupid dumbfuck. In today's day and age, there are a few prominent contenders for that position.
IQ test results follow a normal distribution by design (i.e. they are calibrated so 50% of the people are on each side of 100, and most people land on the middle of the range).
If we are talking about intelligence in general, it's a very fuzzy social construct that encompasses a wide range of innate and learned skills, so we will never be able to boil it down to an objective number.
And that's why IQ tests are fucking useless. They test a few key areas of what we consider intelligence - pattern recognition and continuation, logic - but entirely fail at the actual intelligence. You can be amazing at recognising patterns in a standardized test and utterly fail at recognising patterns in real life.
Not to mention emotional/social intelligence, which is a much larger aspect of our entire life, is not part of the test, nor is general knowledge. You could be super up to date on historical events, recite entire presentations about specific topics, write amazing poems, and still score an IQ that puts you firmly between a rock and a slightly rotten orange.
IQ is just one factor of intelligence, and not even the most important one. And even so, 94 is only just below average, it's not so bad.
Technically not even below! The average is 85-115 IQ.
Which is fucking pointless to point out because 80% falls into that 15 point deviation.
If you want true average, a 5-6 point deviation is more useful. Especially given the vast difference between someone with an IQ of 86 and the IQ of 114 - former will be failing most of their classes whereas latter will be excelling in most (not accounting for other personality traits that affect scholarly results, of course).
Just curious, what's the most important one?
A thorough test made up of several tests can give a full scale IQ with component scores. Big gaps in the scores, like between verbal intelligence and working memory or processing speed, even helps us detect ADHD.
I feel like I need high processing speed more than anything else when playing competitive video games.
I’d say EQ (emotional) is more useful on a daily basis
My only weakness! (Well also bright lights, rough textures, certain sounds...)
