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?
Also true. I guess if you include the individual's room selections I suppose being the smartest in the room becomes as much a proxy for how much you interact with the general public Vs insulated groups of your peers, as it does for intelligence.
Isn't 85 IQ the average black person? Being in the same room as a black person wouldn't be all that rare in America (or even in some parts of Europe, nowadays).
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.

If you’re around 85 iq black people you’re somewhere urban which isn’t a good life choice
Yes. At best that kind of thing suits you for middle management.
