I wouldn't be too surprised if the average IQ of the "below" group was as high if not higher than the "above" group.

I would be, i doubt someone who has ever read anything about IQ with an IQ above 110 would misclassify themselves as 100 or below. That’s a massive leap. The average college student is 115 so that alone is one way to filter a likely IQ range.

Majority answered above, either this is a selection bias—people who follow you are smart, or as always people over estimate their capabilities ie Dunning-krugger effect. Asking for their profession or SAT score is better, although still not that much accurate either.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to consider your audience is largely composed of people with above average intelligence, that describes 50% of the population and there’s no reason to assume a normal distribution here (why would an IQ 80 be reading your stuff)

Either way, 1250 SAT and 159 LSAT, didn’t study for either of them. I’m confidently above average, confidently can say I’m not brilliant or near genius level. Could not hack it as an engineer or doctor. Maybe if I had better work ethic, even then it would be a massive struggle

On the one hand, I know I’m above average. On the other, I also expect the people seeing this poll are above average.

What's your proportion of LessWrong vs OnlyFans followers?
Actually a poll on this could be interesting.
