Ask HN: If HN was a country, it would look like
As a huge fan of HN and daily reader, I appreciate the diverse and honest perspectives that continually are shared.

Avg. age:
IQ:

- tokenadult 14y agoPlease don't even ask about IQ in this context. We have NO IDEA about people's IQ scores here, other than the vague idea that the HN average is higher than the general population average. National-level data on average IQ are of very poor quality, http://wicherts.socsci.uva.nl/wicherts2010.pdf http://wicherts.socsci.uva.nl/wicherts2010.pdf and reliance on the purported datasets on that issue is a reliable sign of poor thinking about what IQ means.
