    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.

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

        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

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

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

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