    I’ve got an IQ of ninety-six.

    That’s not the real number, or maybe it is. At least, that’s what I tell people how much my IQ is. I haven’t been tested in a long time, and I don’t really want to be. The important thing is, ninety-six is such an absolutely average number, and it’s on the ever-so-slightly low side of average, that it immediately deadens all further IQ-related questioning, and helps explain that IQ is a bullshit concept anyway.

      IQ is a measure of specific kind of intelligence but those terms are not synonymous. Also, 69 is nowhere near average - 100 is.

        I think they said ninety six, not sixty nine. And ninety six is close to a hundred. Right?

            I’m only four percent off of a perfect score! 96 IQ is so strong! I can Einstein a hundred Eulers all day long!
