“0.1% is 55 and below? F*. 2% of the population is 70, Jesus! Between 55 and 70, [it’s] 2% of the population. And then, 14% of the population is 85.”
Yes. IQ is a score on a bell curve, such that the median is 100 and that one standard deviation is 15. This is EXACTLY what you'd expect given the parameters of such a curve.
I'm not even convinced they were looking at American demographics specifically, I think that they'd just stumbled onto the literal definition of the curve and didn't understand it.
Wow, that whole article just shows how dumb Rogan is. He used an online IQ test to prove he's a genius and then "researched" online to see that IQ is lower recently in the US?
The whole article is repeating what a stupid person thinks about a study. And there is nothing about what the study actually says, or what it means.
There's lots of ways to measure intelligence, and IQ isn't really the best one.
