100 IQ = 50% of the population is smarter than this.
80 IQ = not sure what the percentage is, but >50% of the population is smarter than this.
If any of the tables here are to be believed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification#Historical_IQ_classification_tables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification#Historical_I...
then 80 IQ could mean 80% of the population is smarter.
I'll rephrase my "kinda dumb" to "dumb as rocks".
- billyjmc 3y agoFrom the main Wiki entry on IQ tests: “The raw score of the norming sample is usually (rank order) transformed to a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15.” So, you’re not too far off numerically. 80 IQ is only a -1.33 Z-score. So, 9th percentile. 91% of people score higher than 80 IQ.
