    Post estimates of average apolyton poster's IQ

    I'm talking about the OT posters of course. I think the following points seem most relevant:

    1.The average poster seems to be a college graduate or someone who will end up as one
    2.This is (used to be) to be a forum for discussing a relatively complex strategy game.
    3.Compsci people are overrepresented compared to the average gaming forum
    4.Findings in KH's intelligence rank thread.

    On those grounds I guesstimate the average active posters IQ to be about one and a half standard deviation above mean.

    Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
    The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
    The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

    This can't end well.

        This will get closed unless it is an opt in thread...
        You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

          This would work better if you made a list of posters and then had people try to guess what that poster's IQ was. Then you could have like 10 pages of flames and thus it would be a very OT worthy topic.

                How highly they think of themselves. I should be just below Wiglaf because he is better than me.

                      110? You're full of ****, I'm at LEAST ∞+1.

                        I gave you 110 on binary day. Be happy.

                          When I took an IQ test in first grade, I was a 128.

                            You've clearly taken some heavy blows to the head since then.
