    I feel like this is satire, right?

    Edit: looked up the guy, can’t find his post. If anyone can find anything about this being real, they’ll be awarded some very real Lemmy silver!

    That distribution chart is fucky. It says that the IQ is 86, and that’s 15th percentile, but the line at the bottom clearly shows that the number is a little under 70. So something is not right here, and I suspect it’s because this is a shitpost.

      A great tool for making broad diagnostics with regard to childhood-to-adult brain development. Also useful for identifying disabilities and neurodivergence.

      But useless as a means of stack ranking already demonstrably intelligent people or sifting for “genius” intelligence in a pool with variation in education and experience. Getting a “good IQ score” is like bragging about acing your “Do you have Alzheimers?” cognitive exam. “Oh! He can draw clocks twice as fast as any of his peers! Incredible!”
