      Old ass image. Theory is it was made by the company selling the iq tests to make people talk about it and take a test themselves

        I mean, that score supposedingly means you struggle to put together normal sentences… So I’d assume it’s satire

          86 is still way above an intellectual disability, that limit is set below 70.

          An IQ of 86 is not THAT low, the percentile in the pic is right, about 1 in 6 people is below 86.

      Its conception and first uses were tailored to have data backing up the concept poor people, disabled people, and black people were dumber, thereby justifying forced sterilisation and human rights abuses of those groups.

      In fact, the Nazis used a modified version inspired by the american concept of IQ tests to justify their genocide of disabled people.

    How the fuck does that graph even works?! Shows the very left of the graph, then says you’re in the top? Doesn’t make any sense. Edit : clearly I belong in the top 85% too. I guess I confused % and percentile!

      It says top 85%. In a room with 100 people the 85th smartest person would be in the top 85% but they’d also be in the bottom 15%.
