I just woke up so don’t feel like fact checking this. Is the population really that mentally challenged? Can you provide a reference to your statistic?

Changed “general population” to “population”

See, it already had an effect on my writing.



It's in the definition of the IQ (assuming a bell curve distribution)


Modern IQ tests are normalized with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient
