If he was rational, he would understand that companies like this have a huge incentive to inflate the score of anyone participating.
If he had got an 87, do you think that he would have posted his score?
Absolutely not, then the company would not get free advertising, costing them business.
I don't believe it is fully fake, but I would not be surprised to see them rounding up any edge cases, this goes for the entire industry
I tried some free test once and got something like 90 lol
I’m pretty sure being of average intelligence (as far a test with its own flaws and limitations can tell) is nothing to be ashamed of, just like being of average height is nothing to be ashamed of.
I took one when I was a kid and got a 136, and I feel like an idiot fairly regularly. I don’t think these tests a definitive measures of intellectual “superiority”
It what you do with what you've got that counts.
I have taken free tests when I have been bored, I have got results within the range of 80 to 120, safe to say, I don't have a lot of trust in them...
I took a test as a kid and 30 years later and they both said 114. Honestly did not expect that.
For all the posturing some people you meet in daily life do about "being smart", I think most of us are pretty damn average. Most people still have the capacity to accomplish anything they want (within reason) if they're willing to put in enough time and effort on a consistent basis.
That's true. Like, by definition.
Has more to do with the distribution than the definition. If everyone were either a moron or genius, nobody would be average without changing the definition.
True!
