After the psychologist had finished the session, the Irishman asked: "Hey Doc, what's this IQ ting that people are always goin on about?"
It stands for "Intelligence Quotient. It's a measure of how intelligent a person is", said the psychologist.
"Oh yeah?", said the Irishman, "Well what would a person with an IQ of 160 be like?"
"An absolute genius", said the psychologist, "Someone of staggering intelligence".
"Well then, what about someone with an IQ of 100?", the Irishman asked.
"That would be a person of normal intelligence", the psychologist replied.
"How about an IQ of 80?" the Irishman inquired.
"Well, someone like that would be quite stupid. They would have trouble with simple mathematical and logical problems, and probably have trouble reading".
The Irishman was intrigued. "What about someone with an IQ of 45?"
"Oh", said the psychologist, "You are really getting low there. Someone with an IQ of 45 would have trouble even tying their own shoelaces."
"Ah I get it", said the Irishman, "that's why so many Australians wear flip-flops."
