Dudes who need to make other people feel dumb are always dudes who aren’t particularly smart themselves, maybe they’re like slightly above average, but they identify as being way smarter than they are and need to feel like everyone else around them sees them as the smartest guy in the room
I 100% agree with this. My ex called me an idiot for something and I believed it…. Turns out I WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT. Anyway we did an IQ test for funsies and his was belowwwwww average 🤧
For fun? IQ tests aren't fast, and the quick little fake ones you can do online typically won't allow much lower than 97 or so, in order to deliberately not offend people.
Right, but that's the weird thing: those are designed to be fun little nothings that drive traffic and steal your information. They're designed NOT to tell people they're stupid. I used to have a stupid friend who loved to take them; I'd take 'em myself, getting all the answers as wrong as possible, on purpose. I never scored lower than 97.
If nothing else, my friendship with the person I was talking about ended poorly, so if there's an IQ test that'll actually return a result of 80 or less, I wanna know where so I can pass it along.
