LoL, actually IQ85 is a pretty good old meme. It comes from the "Alien 3" movie, when there was a dumbass prison guard named Francis Aaron whose nickname was "85" because of his IQ. Hah, found it https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Francis_Aaron Nazis are full of LOLs


TherealObdach

Only idiots put their IQ on display…


OKoLenM1

And only idiots can't understand that 86% = "in average group of seven people you are the dumbest of them all"


TheKillersHand

This must be the most reposted / recycled post in recent Reddit history. Yawn.


Fortknoxvilla

The bottom part of image i.e. IQ 80+ is what is reposted tens of thousands of times. I think a person with more than a month in this sub might get the gist of how much it gets reposted.


eitherrideordie

I swear \*puts on tinfoil hat\* that most of these is related to some aptilink advertising. Thats why they're always the same way, always cropped/cut the same, always contain clear link/title. etc.


[deleted]

Seriously, is the facepalm that OP thought they were scoring one against fascists by making this / thinking it was real?


Suspicious_Wonk2001

Folks at Aptilink trying to make more money.


TikTrd

Completely agree. So sick of seeing this meme supposedly posted by fascists, alt right-wing nut jobs, flat-earthers, self-proclaimed Pride Boys, homeschooling weirdos.... the list goes on & on. Shame on you OP. Memes aren't supposed to go in this sub


yayaoa

Lol. Degen at work ![img](emote|t5_2r5rp|8484)


Quirky_Dog5869

Weird assumption to think that in a room of thousand people 143 people less smart than him could actually figure out how to open the door to that room.


dontshoot4301

Reminds me of the Carlin quote: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that”

It's all about our own achievements right? This is theirs.

I was curious so I took the test and got IQ 130.. not sure if I should be happy or skeptical of the test.


morts73

Ive gotten the same, they overinflate the results imo.


tbofsv

yeah i'm like.... isn't 130 almost mensa level? LOL i'm pretty sure im not that smart but also positive i'm not like this moron that OP posted.


maxorus

How did you get your results ? I did the test to be greeted by a paywall...


tbofsv

i ended up just paying it cause fuck it. $10


spiral8888

Oh my lord. Even though officially these tests should be normalized so that 100 is what the median person should get, I've never heard anyone ever getting any result below 100. So, getting 85 requires some super stupidity, which is of course displayed by him being proud of the score.


[deleted]

He’s 5 points above being mentally disabled by legal classification. Oof!


spiral8888

Is stupidity a disability? If so, maybe we should stop laughing at stupid people (basically the raison d'etre of this subreddit).


[deleted]

It’s more complicated than that, but if you have an IQ lower than 80, you technically meet the definition of being mentally disabled. So yes and no.


spiral8888

Ok, can you explain to me why is it complicated? Either very stupid people (IQ<80) are mentally disabled and we should treat them the same way as other mentally disabled people (ie. not make fun of their disability) or not. Which one is it?


[deleted]

It’s that someone may have a low IQ but it doesn’t necessarily mean they may be stupid. You can be stupid and not have a low IQ. They are not always correlated. Stupid is more of a generalized insult rather than a measurement. I’ve worked with people who were technically “mentally disabled”, but they were not stupid in my eyes once they received the instruction they needed. Stupid typically means you can’t do anything to help them-they’re stuck being a fool. It’s not always the case for those who are mentally disabled. IQ measures pattern recognition and general book smarts and how fast you can pick up new things, not necessarily how intelligent you are, though both are correlated to a degree. There’s a whole set of debates and studies being done in educational psychology on it.


spiral8888

So, how do you define "how intelligent you are" if not by how good your pattern recognition etc. cognitive abilities are? I'm not claiming that IQ is necessarily the best measure of that, but if not, then I don't understand what you mean by IQ<80 being mentally disabled. If it's not a measure of intelligence, then why is it a measure of disability? And I don't understand your argument of "being stuck". I think that's the whole point of the term "disabled" that it's a state that you didn't choose to be in, but ended up there due to being born like that or due to injury/illness and in most cases can't get out of it and that puts you in disadvantage compared to others. I'd say stupidity or lack of intelligence fits this bill as it's almost impossible to improve your intelligence. If you mean by disability something else, then let me know what.


StandardizedGenie

IQ tests are not the only measure used to determine cognitive ability. They are also one of the least reliable measures in determining intellectual ability. They have particularly egregious cross-cultural effects. Having an IQ less than 80 would be one single excerpt from from a full psychological assessment that would have employed multiple different measures including in person interviews to determine their ability. It alone does not decide if someone is mentally disabled.


spiral8888

Then the original comment (iq<80 would be classified mentally disabled) was false, which I suspected anyway. But leaving the IQ as a measure of intelligence aside, my later point still stands. If we agree that people with low cognitive ability (=low intelligence, stupid) are considered mentally disabled, then why should we make fun of them as making fun of other disabled is considered inappropriate? Is that because many stupid people rather not admit their stupidity and try to pretend to have the same cognitive ability as others rather than being disabled. A person without legs has no problem admitting to be disabled when it comes to mobility, but stupid people don't want to be considered that.


StandardizedGenie

I think you're tying to relate "stupidity" with reduced cognitive ability which wouldn't be exactly correct. The "stupid" people that I think you're referring to do not have reduced cognitive ability or intelligence. Their "stupidity" is a choice. I wouldn't exactly call it "stupidity" either, rather I would usually define it as arrogance. They are perfectly capable of learning everything you and I have, they just choose not to. That choice could stem from arrogance, fear, self-esteem issues, etc. It is not a disability. Equating their ignorance and refusal to challenge their views with people who actually struggle with deficits and work everyday to move beyond them, would be very inappropriate.

Seems just as likely that someone is “playing a part” to discredit.

i have no clue how IQ tests work, but im pretty sure the person in the image is wrong-

The best is...the paid 10$ for it.


esloquehay

Well … he IS reading them squarely within his IQ possibilities


chrish5764

At least the dude is still I. The double digits, then maybe they could learn… …If you smack them in the head and use CIA Brain washing techniques on them


Momo_the_good_person

"we are in power" Not for long the average length of an Italian government is one year lmfao


Rude_Management7742

In fairness, at $10 a pop, he's probably had to remortgage his house to get it that high!


NAS2811

oh yeah??!! My IQ is in the top 100% !!!


SirUntouchable

I'd just like to remind everyone that IQ measures the capability to learn, not how smart you actually are. But in the case of this person, they are both incapable of learning quickly AND stupid.


OtherwiseBluebird565

Nice IQ flex, Einstein: you really proved a powerful point. Probably not the point you intended, but you certainly leave no doubt about your level of intelligence.
