The least intelligent here, such as El Keniano, probably have IQs of around 90. Not low enough to bring down the average to below 100.
Agree with this.
I have seen higher IQ's than some Letsrun posters in visits to the zoo.
The average RUNNER has a higher IQ than the population at large. As for the denizens of this site... .
I do my best to increase the average here and I think the average is high. but I guess the median is lower here. there are just too many low iq posters.
I wouldn't say that..
I would say whatever iq we do have will have more staying power due to our aerobic activity..
We decay less and slower over time as we age.

So, you are 102, since you posted

Since it is mostly right wingers here, it will be far below the average
Attributing a lower IQ to political opponents is the lazy way to debate.

Yes, but we are all on the spectrum

He is only attributing it to the right. It is a fair assessment. Prejudice like theirs doesn't reason.

You are not very bright at all. Do you understand what an average is?
Forum is clearly full of below average minds.

Yes. I am saying that you dropped three points by posting on here. You were formerly at 105.
I have no idea how dumb the average American is. Letsrun is as close as I hope I ever come to fraternizing with the average American.

I see this is your version of humor. I suppose if I go back to being a nonposter I go back to 105 and if I avoid the site altogether I drop to 98. Of course you are confusing averages and cause and correlation. But I hope you are joking.

Yeah, I was trying to make a joke that you are an average person whose IQ fell because of posting on here, but you got all offended. Such is life in 2022.

It certainly appears that way.
Majority of posters, including the ones I disagree with, are super smart.
STEM people are way above 100. What is the fraction on Letsrun with a STEM education?

You're taking people who are not only literate but are computer literate, have an internet connection and have access to and most likely own a computer/laptop/smartphone with internet access. That puts it ahead for a start. Then there's the correlation with distance running and IQ. You have a large proportion of college athletes (i.e. further education) - that sways it.
Letsrunners as a group probably doesn't include the same amount of people in institutions, with learning disabilities, Down's syndrome and so on as 'American people'.
People who are very unwell are selected out and unlikely to be here, posting on the internet.
Even the literacy factor on its own would probably mean that the IQ of letsrunners > IQ of 'American people'/or any country's people.
yup. easy call. good response.
Yes, very good post. I would also think the average poster is above average population. Just looking at the linguistic quality of most post, there aren't that many mistakes. Also considering many poster's poster's don't have English as their mother tongue.
Did you mean "discus" or "discuss"? Because that will influence my response.
judging on some of the topics that are brought up in the forums I'm going to say no. Come at me.
Lots of young, dumb lefties on here so that brings the average down,
