Thank you for recently taking the Self Discovery Workshop's IQ Test.
Because of the Internet's ability to mishandle transmissions, we are
reconfirming via email that your IQ Test score was: 90


I'm an average guy :)

There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

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.
