How stupid is the average technology user? I think they are way

You do know that you make your own tumblr or .wordpress blog really quick, right?

I already know I'm in the 95 percentile for being smart with tech anon

Perhaps a person's value to society isn't necessarily how much money they have in their bank account.

One has to have many qualities. Bill Gates was also a programmer. Him and Paul Allen utilized their computer programming skills to create a business.

So what is your point? Most tech graduates these days are "full of shit"? I do agree with you on that.

"Average IT worker is more stupid than a plumber?"

I worked with one who are very sharp. He also noticed this. He claims that some IT workers are often unmotivated to improve themselves, and I agree with that.

If you're claiming that businessmen are the ideal technologist, I'd have to disagree with you, because pure businessmen do not belong in the technology field. They simply do not have the experience.

last time i checked 127 but have lately been way more academics oriented. i know that they say that i.q. is independent of education and all that but I was in a pretty bad environment at that time and abusing a lot of drugs and really most of the stuff that i was doing was related to social intelligence and being consistent about my routine and habits. I will take another one in a few years just to see if I get a different result, I am curious. I expect an increase just based on my brain repairing some of the damage drugs did to it, but I have also been performing more tasks directly related to memory and the type of logic they test for. Anyways i.q. by itself won't get you ANYTHING In life,,, and in regards to your bill gates comment I would definitely say that that is more so a reflection of factors other than I.Q. being more important to success than "intelligence" than some type of indication that businessmen have higher i.q. than tech people... I would say that decent social skills, high motivation, creativity and flexibility are more important than what is measured in i.q. tests. I would not be surprised if the HUGE recent upswing in computer science majors has diluted the average intelligence of the group. People are just going where the demand for jobs is right now, I don't think that many of them necessarily have much of an interest in computers or even academics in general. I would say though that people that are genuinely interested in computers and technology would probably have a higher i.q. on average than those that are interested in business though.

IT is a meme

Computer "science" is a stupid degree. It's not even a real science. It's by definition at most engineering.

I'm not good at anything else really.

>IQ by itself won't get you anything in life
Sure it can. A lot of people use IQ tests wrong.
The result of an IQ test is a score of how well people do on IQ tests. But what does it say about people who do poorly on IQ tests?
Is it possible that there is a distinguishable cluster of people (i.e. <90) or a definable IQ range where it is more or less guaranteed that the person is just not smart?

The government seems to think so. The legal requirement for mental retardation is to have an IQ below 70-75.
Any measurable quantities beyond "this person is certainly stupid" is debatable at best because of the fact that IQ tests can be gamed.

Occasionally you see people do IQ equivalence tests on old people from a time when IQ tests didn't exist. In that case, it's because they're using the original idea of IQ, which is the measure of how intelligent someone is as compared to their entire generation.
