      That the bottom 25% of scorers in standardized tests are in the bottom quartile of the distribution, which is literally defined as the bottom 25%, but the Twitter user seems to be using that fact to justify something yet he’s literally just stating a fact?

      The bottom 25% will always exist and there will always be 25% of the results contained within it.

      Not sure how anyone doesn’t get it, but this Twitter screenshot exists, so there’s that.

      Oh, sorry, this “x” exists. Dumb fucking name.

          But have you considered that a whopping 25% of satire posts are in the bottom quartile on the funniness bell curve?

            “Money doesn’t matter” – rich people

            “Look doesn’t matter” – beautiful people

            “IQ doesn’t matter” – intelligent people

            Edit: “IQ is important” – high IQ people

                That’s my intended joke: intelligent people see that IQ is bullshit while high IQ people don’t (implying there is no overlap)
