I also don't find it too surprising that regular members of CP would consistently score higher than average. This place tends to weed out the idiots, on average.
I agree. But we don't have ANY average people. And no morons either. We KNOW better than that. [Reply]

I would disagree with that. Just like with any community, you have your resident idiots, your ditch-diggers and Direct TV installers, your average people, your relatively bright people, and your "How the hell does he/she think of this sh*t?" people. [Reply]

OK. You were talking about IQ scores again. Again, self selection. If you scored a 95 and everyone else is bragging about their 130's, are you going to step up and post about that? I mean it would be like constantly bringing up the fact you were a virgin. [Reply]
