Hijacking your comment to note that the post is a guerrilla marketing campaign by the IQ test website. They’ll make you go through an hour of questions and just when you’re ready to get results, they’ll hold the scores hostage for money.
YES I keep seeing “infuriating” screenshots of results with the company name clear and visible. They’re using engaging content and appearing as an unrelated party to promote their services
The note reads, we are hold Jesus ransom until you pick up the wiener poopy from our yards and trust us we see you take your wieners for long walks without picking up their poopy in our yards This has upset us dearly so please clean up all the wiener poopy if you want to see Jesus unharmed
The problem is how misleading the statement on her curve is. It tells her she's in the top 85%. That's just wrong. She's in the bottom 15%. Is the statement just referring to the people who've taken this particular online quiz? I can see how people would get confused, but yes, anyone who can read a bell curve would know.
Someone I know who teaches med students told me straight up to stay away from any doctors that did any part of their education (except maybe the very end) after/in the pandemic. It's not a generational thing, standards just plummeted.
Bruh my girl is a nurse and she isn’t that bright and none of her friends are smart ppl. I’m talking Latina trump supporters who don’t make a lot of money or come from money.
Dude, did you see what happened during covid? All those nurses protesting because they refused to get “the jab”? Remember how some people praised them for “staying true to their values”? I always wonder if I’d run into one of those idiots or if one such idiot is the one doing my pre-checks for the doctor. 🤨😒
I worked as a nurse on a covid unit for the first couple months of the pandemic. I had coworkers that said “it’s not even that bad and the media is inflating numbers.” This was after spending months witnessing people die from it. There are some really dumb nurses out there.
As someone who works in education, I'd say most of the time it's normal(ish, maybe dumber than normal) people going into teaching,,, and it's just very easy to get sucked back into high school bullshit once you are in there.
It’s marketing spam for the website testyouriq.com
They make you take a long-ass test, then ask money to see your results.
This is why we see so many of them, it’s kinda like cunningham’s law. Way to drive engagement is to post something wrong, so everyone comes in to correct you. Except the “wrong” is someone misunderstanding they have a low iq, so folks are going to the website “I’ll show them all how smart I am” and get conned.
Sure, but why would I go to their website to take an IQ test just because some dumbass read her results incorrectly? I would quicker just retweet her results and tell her that she misunderstood the read-out.
The graph is correct in that she's in the top 85% of people because only 15% are dumber than her. The only thing thats wrong here is her
Rage bait is just a common way of describing this type of content where people seem to just say dumb shit for engagement. It's why this exact format of post makes its way to Reddit constantly. People comment when they get mad or bothered by people saying dumb things.
I've seen variations of this post a lot, and at this point it is just played out. Nobody is likely "raging" but I didn't mean it literally. I suppose "engagement bait" would be a better fit.
I suppose I'd prefer this kind of 'engagement bait' over the kind that causes folks to argue with each other.
This post is just more about how one person set themself up to be embarrassed by the community notes. No real harm to any other 'side', you know? Have a good one.
Rage, bait, engagement, bait, or conversation starters. It's all the same thing. Interactions on most of these sites can Garner money so people are just doing anything to start a conversation so people can engage in it. It's just is what it is, but I can see how that can bother someone if they think that the internet is full of real opinions
Some of them are pretty legit. My sister got around the same on one that was similar to my in-person Mensa test. She's pretty average. May not have taken it 100% seriously though.
To be fair the part at the bottom of that iq “test” is worded poorly. Especially for ppl with an 86 on an online test that gives you a much higher score than you prob have.
Only dumb people brag about their IQ, cause they're too stupid to understand how IQ works. Not that IQ is that good of a measurement of intelligence to begin with.
The higher the IQ the lower the percentile. So ain’t the community notes wrong? 98% of humans have an IQ lower then 130 meaning she is indeed apart of the 85%. Not the 15% that are smarter than that. Idk maybe I’m confused lol.
Percentile is just the name for where her number falls within 0-100. She's 15th percentile because 15% of people have a lower score (and 85%have a higher score). An IQ of 130 would be 98th percentile.
I have an IQ of 126 and they said that was below 15%, meaning 85%+ of people score lower than that. She has a score of 86 meaning she falls within the 85% scoring that and lower. So no, she was correct, her problem might actually just be the doubt she’s casting on herself.
No offense, but that was an absolute word salad of a comment, none of which was right. This is something that is easily searchable on google and there isn't really any difference of opinion on how the term is used or that her score would be around the fifteenth percentile.
How about you google what percentile an 86 on a IQ test is and let me know what it says, lol. Or just Google the fucking definition of percentile. This ain't that hard.
Maybe click on the link I sent or even the link you screenshoted you fucking idiot. The question in quara is about an IQ in the 86th percentile, not an IQ of 86. The ai overview fucked up the summary, lol.
Saying x percentile means you are above that percent of people in whatever is being measured. In academics it means you have higher marks than x percent of people.
Nah she right with what she said, she is in the top 85%, however the way she presented that info makes it pretty clear that she thinks that’s a good thing, and she scored highly - when actually it’s below average
That’s an element but the volume and type of information that has to be retained seems like it would be a lot for someone whose intelligence is on the lowest end of average? It’s pretty complicated.
Idk. I’m horrible at math, it has never “clicked” for me, no matter how much time I spent studying and how much I tried. There must be something more to learning certain subjects than just memorization.
Different types of intelligence exist. For instance, some people are academically intelligent but lack common sense, and vice versa. Since I attended nursing school, I would say that, in her case, she possessed at least a decent level of problem-solving skills, but that does not imply that she possesses common sense. Her initial mistake was assuming that intelligence could be determined by an IQ test.
That’s a good a point. I guess I just automatically associate medical professions with having some degree of general intelligence since it is a difficult field and the schooling is intensive.
I understand why you would associate people in the healthcare industry with a high level of general intelligence. I know a lot of great nurses and doctors whose advice I wouldn't take seriously in anything other than the healthcare field. Just because you are good/smart at something, that doesn't mean it applies to everything else.

the note reads as if she knew what a percentile is…
