Err... im not sure everyone in this thread is getting the joke?

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 year ago

That the bottom 25% of scorers in standardized tests are in the bottom quartile of the distribution, which is literally defined as the bottom 25%, but the Twitter user seems to be using that fact to justify something yet he's literally just stating a fact?

The bottom 25% will always exist and there will always be 25% of the results contained within it.

Not sure how anyone doesn't get it, but this Twitter screenshot exists, so there's that.

Oh, sorry, this "x" exists. Dumb fucking name.

Am I misreading this or are you doubling down on not getting it’s satire?

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

I like you kid, you've got grit.

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

The twitter account is a satire account. They're trying to stir the pot.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

But have you considered that a whopping 25% of satire posts are in the bottom quartile on the funniness bell curve?

Don't forget that about half the population have an IQ below average

[-] iminahurry@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

And the average IQ is already pretty low.

Good thing that IQ numbers are largely pointless.

"Money doesn't matter" – rich people

"Look doesn't matter" – beautiful people

"IQ doesn't matter" – intelligent people

Edit: "IQ is important" – high IQ people

[-] iminahurry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Intelligence matters. Just that IQ number is not a very good indicator of intelligence.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

That's my intended joke: intelligent people see that IQ is bullshit while high IQ people don't (implying there is no overlap)

[-] Mewtwo 2 points 1 year ago

You sound like you're at the top of the bell curve
