Liberals always gloat about this type of thing without realizing the demographics that are growing in the US which are driving IQ down levels aren't white Republicans.

Any amount of time spent driving or walking around in a store will definitely prove this statistic.

Just how dumb or unaware do you have to be to stop in a doorway and chat, leave your grocery cart in the middle of the aisle or drive slow in the FAST lane?

You had to read a study to figure out around half of Americans are below average intelligence?

OP I have some bad news for you...

However, in standard distributions, for example, the median will often be chosen as the average to prevent outliers massively throwing off the average value (although in a perfectly standard distribution the mean and median should be quite close). Given that IQ is a standard distribution, set such that themedian(not the mean) is 100 (i.e the center of the bell curve), it's not a terrible guess that actually the data set the OP is talking about refers to the median, especially considering he's come up with the number 50% as the 'below average' group (which is roughly what you'd expect from a test designed to be a standard distribution around 100/'the median')

Not sure about that stat but I know for a fact 81 million are.

I read another study, most people rate themselves higher than they actually are. It’s rare for people to be actually judgmental of themselves. It’s a natural response to protect mental health
