What I think is the most stupid is that people allow themselves to be put on the spot in front of a microphone and a camera!!! Guess some people will stoop to anything to be on tv! LOL!!

Sigh .... Jay Leno does that to American's all the time ....


As an educator, it just makes me want to slap people .... the interviewer, the interviewee, the camera guy, the editor ... who of course only shows the people who got stuff really wrong ....


But it does go to prove the FACT that 1/2 of all Americans have a Below Average IQ!!


((Of course .... so does 1/2 of all Canadians ....))

Yes, I want to slap someone when I see stuff like that, too. I just wonder how many people got it right that they didn't show. But that wouldn't be funny.

My goodness, I knew that there were some people on this earth that weren't intelligent but I have to agree with Donna, why allow yourself to look like a fool in front of a camera and microphone when you have no glue to what is happening in this world of ours. My grandson of 7 yrs of age would know most of those questions. lol!!!

Your comments got me wondering what "average" is pertaining to IQ scores. I went on a search and the table I first found stated it like this........


Grade Range Percent


(Average is 98)


Genius...144... 0.13%
Gifted...130-144...2.14%
Above Average...115-129...13.59%
Higher Average...100-114...34.13%
Lower Average...85-99...34.13%

Thanks for that article and for the other info ... I am saving that for a future Examiner Article!


Regardless of what # the actual average is ... be it 98 or 104 .... Half of the population will fall below that average .... that is the nature of a Bell Curve or a Normal Distribution.

"An IQ test is NOT a test of knowledge .... but of your ability to think."


Yes, I did know that. I love thinking, am a daydreamer, and my mind never stops talking. Sometimes my mind talks all night long and won't let me sleep. I've even gotten up at times and jotted things down. Funny thing about that is that I love that about my mind. I wonder if everyone is like that.
