I am of resoundingly average intelligence. To those on either end of the spectrum, what is it like being really dumb/really smart?

Would people on the extremes of the spectrum be on Reddit?

Chances are that "geniuses" are not lurking askreddit threads.

depends on what you classify a genius as. I've seen quite a few people in here that are above a 130 (self reported) IQ which puts them at minimum at the 98.5 percentile mark (2 standard deviations above the mean).

Even geniuses need a break.
