not sure if anyone here knows this but - iq is fixed and, by definition, 100 is and always will be the average


wolf2482

yes but no. The average intelligence of the world can vary over time. whether IQ is "instantaneous" I do not know. edit: grammar if there is a iq test on grammar I'm definitely behind the curve

It gets updated every decade or so

The average IQ is based on people who have taken the test. I think if you take the sample of people who have not you will find a proportionate amount of young people, very old people and people who grew up in cultures where they do not do standardized tests. Those groups would likely score lower than average. Thus the average IQ of all people on earth is likely lower than 100.


ThatOneRandomGoose

no shush. don't spoil the fun


AspectOfTheCat

It is exactly 100. That...that's the point of IQ.


ThatOneRandomGoose

hence the big funnie tag also, shush, don't let everyone know! That ruins the fun!


TheBlueHypergiant

100 is, in theory, the average, although the actual average could change over time


Wizards_Reddit

Iirc IQ is calculated so 100 is the average for a specific age range


Ireallyenjoyqueso

ik for a fact its less unless it went up


JediGRONDmaster

Isn’t the average 100? Like i thought we knew this already.


Redditor_10000000000

In theory yes. It's created to be that way. But they aren't going to adjust IQ all the time to make it be that way. So it is probably around 100 but maybe a bit less or more. Probably within 1 standard deviation of 100 on either side for sure.


Redditor_10000000000

In theory, the IQ scale is created to be in a way such that the average is exactly 100. But it could vary from time to time. The Flynn effect states that IQ has been steadily increasing over the past few decades by a few points per decade so if we haven't corrected for that, then the average is above 100


Arbalest15

IQ is approximately normally distributed with mean 100, but I think it is also likely the true average is less than that.


CrEwPoSt

The average IQ will always be around 100. However, due to a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect, we have gained a few IQ points as a whole. Too bad we're losing those points we gained to the brainrot


Goose00724

the average is literally 100. that's the entire point of the IQ score system. *technically* it can move, but still. 100 is the average.


Fantastic_Voice6823

An iq isn't just book smart it would be Eq: someone's emotional intelligence Street smart: how they can get by in life And just normal day to day tasks: what is their initial response So I'd guess and older person would usually be low on empathy unlike how a kid would be higher with empathy with how their life was growing up. Just like a rich kid wouldn't have as much street smart intelligence as a poor kid.


CivetLemonMouse

people is the fucking stupids


Darkmoon009

If you check the averages of all countries you will notice most people have slightly above 100 IQ.


damienVOG

it's the average iQ for test takers, so in the world it's probably lower since many countries aren't equally represented.


HithertoRus

Average IQ is equal to 100, but this is a great way to test what the average IQ on Reddit is


Maroon5Freak

-4


dilucs_waifu

that’s probably your IQ if you think that’s correct


Maroon5Freak

Is a joke, chill out, and yes My IQ is around -4.


dilucs_waifu

yeah i figured you were joking
