primitives STILL try to convince themselves they're smarter

the average IQ in the U.S. is 98
 
Of course IQ scores aren't the be all and end all, and the differences between nations are slight- Switzerland has the highest average IQ at 101.

But it explains a lot. I'd wager just about anything that the average IQ on DU is much higher than 98. And I think as a group, we tend to forget that our perspectives, even as we differ, our vastly different because we're, well, smarter than the average The less able an individual is at grappling with information, the easier it is to persuade that individual.

I'm always a bit surprised by how low the average IQ is.

So, I'm curious. What is your IQ? (and yes I know that self-reporting will lend this to skewing higher than it may be)

Too funny!

When others aren't able to see just how smart you are, then it's time to pat each other on the back and remind yourselves that if they were smart they'd know you were smarter.

DUmmies have higher IQ's......because they've never used any of them.

IQ means nothing without mental health to go with it, and it's pretty obvious mental health is a major problem with DUers.

In a less-analytic vein, 'If you're so smart, why ain't you rich?'  An awful lot of you losers seem to be depending on GoFundMe and Wishadoo to keep a roof over your heads.

A site well known for its beggars,scam artists,lunatics and bums thinks it is the smartest of the smart.

12. 143. i didnt even test the boys, though they are much higher than i am.

my brother hits 189. everything about the iq for him has helped to lead to such a desolate life. having a high iq does not mean a peaceful, successful or even good life. i feel his iq led him to a life of alcoholism for self medication and continuous self destruction.

Claims 143 for an IQ and can`t even begin to write coherent,literate sentences.

That is a word salad worthy of gNads.  Tell me again what geniuses liberals are.

If the primitives are so smart, how come their lives are limited to posting on a message board only the DUmpster cares about?  How come they're not leading the Democrat party, running the White House, in Congress, and such?
