I mean I don't know about you but even excluding the empty ones, the median room I walk into doesn't have 50+ people milling about in it.
I think anything above 90th percentile would probably still qualify as being the smartest in the room more often than not. The real question is do we tend to rate that metric too high?
Aren't even the "high IQ" ones just in the 115-120 (midwit) range?
120 isn't midwit range. 120 is often being the smartest one in a room.
Huh.
To blow your mind further, a midwit Nimrod would be a slightly above-average intelligence but extremely cunning and quick hunter.
Yeah... like almost every insult, it's started to see increasing use as "dumb and/or gross person," but it isn't really a synonym for retard.
If you’re in a room of jeets maybe. 120 isn’t even in the top 2% of IQs.

Depends on the rooms you’re in. In my experience being in a room with an 85 iq is infinitesimally more rare than an 120 iq.
Yes. At best that kind of thing suits you for middle management.
I feel even worse about that.
