Scoby 0 #33 August 27, 2002 While it would be nice if everyone was above average, the reality is that IQ, like a lot of things, is distrbuted on a bell curve with most scores near the middle. The fact that every on here scores genius on an IQ test is a pretty good sign that it's not a very good test. Kinda like how people take intelligence/personality tests at scientology. The result is always, "you are very intelligent, but you need guidance." I wouldn't put much stock in IQ tests anyhow. They are not a good indication of anything, really.
