Did you know half of all Americans have a below average IQ?

Obviously, since IQ is measured on a bell curve.

How could I forget? I see examples every day. However, no matter how high or low any population's IQ is, half have to be below average. That's how statistics work.

hmm I've heard that americans and europeans have average IQ, easterns have higher IQ than average and the lowest IQ is in Africa. Don't know if its real, i just heard so. btw, i am european.

Not just Americans if you look at some of the questions posted on YA and the spelling!

I actually believe that, but the other half must be very intelligent for the USA to be a superpower in politics and economics.

I'm British by the way.

You Hum it and I'll play it

I know half of all americans have an above average waistline

em, what the first girl said sounded clever so i'm just going to nod and agree with her and pretend like i know what the hell that means. i don't even know my iq, but man i bet i've betrayed my intelligence already.

Yes, that's implicit in the meaning of "average."

not me mine is 150 but that is pretty obvious anyway because its an average so it is going to be somewhere in the middle

Only half?
