Huh. IQ is normalized. 100 is always the mean no matter if the entire population got smarter. It’s impossible for everyone to have an IQ of at least 100.
That's not how IQ works.
Which part? By definition IQ follows a normal distribution and 100 is set as the mean/median – meaning that 100 is always the average result
Edit: nevermind I did a stupid, you're correct that it's literally impossible for everybody to have IQ over 100
I feel you my friend! Have a great day!
I don't think this is about IQ dumb.
