Sweet unholy clusterfuck, they actually have the study linked, and the PDF is free! I haven't torn one of these apart in almost twenty years when I lost my .edu email.
Cognitive ability is assessed through a test, similar to the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Ludvigsson et al., 2022), aimed at
eliciting the individual’s logical, verbal, and spatial abilities as well as technical comprehension. The tests scores are standardized to
create a score on a stanine (standard 9) scale (integers 1 to 9, with 9 representing the highest test scores), which approximates a normal
distribution with a mean of five and a standard deviation of two. This means that 3–4% of the population scores 1 and 9, respectively,
and as we move towards the mean the share increases and 24% score a 5 (see Appendix Table S2, for more details on the distribution of
the test scores). We refer to this measure as cognitive ability. Psychologists have shown that the test offers a valid and reliable measure of general intelligence (Mårdberg and Carlstedt 1998). It corresponds with intelligence quotient (IQ) in that 1 corresponds to IQ<76, 5
to 96<IQ<104, and 9 to IQ>126 (Ohman ¨ 2016). The test scores have also been shown to be highly correlated with scores on a similar
cognitive ability test taken at the age of 50–65 (Ronnlund ¨ et al., 2015), suggesting that it is a good predictor of intelligence throughout
adulthood.
Okay, main issue is that a standard deviation on a typical IQ test is 15 points. So with the top tier only being 26 points above the mean, it's actually lower than the two deviation threshold (130) for Mensa, and significantly lower than the four deviation threshold (160) for Prometheus. This does NOT allow for us to see if at the higher bands, there is actually a decrease in adoption, which is data I'd LOVE to see given that 4% that refuses to take it at the listed top tier.
Exactly this. NPCs are not low IQ. Low IQ is the minority. NPCs are the way they are due to being part of the majority, average IQ. Smart enough to fit in, so they do. But not smart enough to form and have confidence in their opinion. At least not in a way that will benefit them over just going with the times.
This is what they really believe too. They have degrees from liberal arts colleges and work as baristas, but they are so much smarter and better than you or I.
What is the IQ range for their definition of "smart"?
0-60
In under a minute
They strive to be number one!
People who got 100% on the IQ test.
Pretty sure he's an anti-vaxxer.

By smart they mean top of the bell curve.

Being stupid never felt better.
Mmmmm, I can feel my brain smoothenering even as we words.
"Smart people"
Sounds right
shouldn't they be able to find a better term than "smart people"? someone buy this homo a thesaurus
then again, "smart people" is how you talk to dumb people to make them think they're included. so i get it
Always a woman.
😆

If memory serves correctly, PHD+ educated had the lowest uptake of these shots.
Huhuhuhuhu
No! I AM STUPIDICUS!
How do you do fellow non smarties.
I AM RETARD
The smartest people aren't.
College educated and fully accepting of the left’s doctrine is what they are calling smart. Here I am, debt free and in possession of the truth.
I'm so stoopid I couldn't understand the directions. When they said go get your shot I asked "bird or buck?"
This reads like it was written by someone who has Mensa membership on their resume and tells everyone about it at parties.
Probably AI generated.
