Overall, yes. Depends on the subject though. Start talking math and shit and I would be way above average, but if you start talking history then it might get a little hairy.

Knowing history or lack thereof is not intelligence. That is acquired learning. Some people can remember things easier than other, which has some correlation of intelligence but a dumb ass son of a bitch can know a ton about history and still be as smart as Forrest Gump.

I had sky high standardized test scores all through school. I have a J.D. and a molecular biology degree. I even studied at Oxford University. Hard to imagine that I'd be below average. However, interesting that everyone who has answered says "yes" so far (19 votes).
Either people are delusional or there's an implicit selection bias in that few people who are aware they lack intelligence aren't going to go out of their way to say, "Yes, I'm a moron." If Loneiguana votes, I'm sure he thinks he's above average. Nuff said. Last edited by JohnnyV13; 03-24-2020 at 03:17 PM.. |

Looked it up. 159 is correct.
