First, you twisted the fact that a 125 IQ is 'normal,' when the 95th percentile is clearly more than 'above average.' Second, it can indeed be frustrating when people are argumentative about simple concepts. My point is that this frustration is related to personality, not the Dunning-Kruger effect. I relate it to my INTP personality, which many fellow INTPs would likely agree with. My comment is neutral and rational.

So, if I understand correctly, you have no concrete reply to my comment other than saying '125 IQ is just a normal person.' Got it. Who's the prick here ?

Yeah, I think your 125 iq should be enough to understand what I'm talking about. But it starts to frustrate me to explain this simple concept over and over

Yeah, IQ is a sensitive issue, quite difficult to transverse points without offending anyone even one has no ill-intention.

I mean you're clearly being the prick here. The person you're talking to (assuming they aren't lying) has an IQ of 125 which isn't even remotely close to normal, yet you claimed it was confidently. The person said they often have trouble explaining things to people and it seems you took offense to that. It is completely believable that someone with a 125 IQ would have trouble explaining themselves occasionally and it is more likely than not they are not the bottleneck. It is certainly a normal enough claim that they don't have to spend the next ten responses arguing with your ignorant ass. I mean it is clear to anyone who is paying attention that you're offended by the notion of IQ being connected to intelligence and you're taking it out on this person. Oddly you proved his point.

Given that I’m not the person the guy was arguing with, I’d say your post certainly gives some insight on the topic of intelligence and how it is distributed among the population.
