°F Vs °C
I would think a room temperature IQ in °C would mean virtually unable to function, much less take an IQ test.
Edit: looked it up and an IQ below 50 means you probably can’t ever live independently, and below 25 means you’re pretty much a vegetable.

Nah man, not even close…
Besides, at the extremes if either side of the scale the overall number becomes pretty meaningless because the individual scores are going to have high variance.
I did an internship working with people with learning disabilities from “passable” to me having to change adult diapers for clients who were completely nonverbal and thought it was game.
I don’t know where you looked it up, but you’re way off.
But for this:
much less take an IQ test.
A normal test only covers 3 standard deviations. So if you’re over 145 or below 65, on a normal you take a specialized test if you want to actually know. There’s just not enough outliers to make the normal test able to cover everyone
Which s perfect for an insult. Insult is better when it’s caricature like.
I sometimes wonder what the kids iq would be… He is 12 physically but I would put at 3 max mentally. Not saying anything negative but being honest.
He can use the bathroom but can’t put his underwear on. He knocks on the door till someone comes put his underwear back on.
Eating a bowl of cereal is 50/50 if he can do it himself.
He likes watching blues clues, Thomas and friends, paw patrol. He yells the answer to most questions but I don’t know if he knows the answer or just knows they say this so I should say that.
He is severely autistic and epileptic among other problems. He is sweet and loving but how to measure what his actual intelligence I have no idea.
Huh?
IQ testes only test logic puzzle solving skills (& memory sometimes), so there is no way for you to measure your own actual intelligence, let alone your autistic kid’s
So you are saying you have a future in goverment.
It seems to me like if you got 25, you were able to answer some questions at all, some of which you actually got correct
So not vegetative, I don’t think.
But I suppose I’m not exactly an expert on how the tests are administered, so maybe just showing up is enough to get 25.
IQ tests don’t define IQ, they’re a tool to measure IQ. Standard tests have a “floor” (say 70 or 50) below which they don’t give an accurate number, just a general “below the floor” indication. Similarly, they would have a ceiling.
A professionally administered test can maybe identify a more specific IQ at low levels, and would be used for someone who maybe can’t function at the level of taking a standard test.
I mean that if you participated in a test at all, even if your result wasn’t accurate, then you’re not vegetative, even if you required assistance.
I know that the test score isn’t your IQ, because the IQ is relative to the scores of the other participants.
But surely to score at all you need to be responsive, even if you need a special test with special assistance. So surely an IQ of 25 couldn’t be vegetative? Although I truly have no idea how such an IQ would present itself.They didn’t say vegetative. They said “pretty much a vegetable” fun is a more colloquial term.
People with a severe learning disability or profound and multiple learning disability (PMLD) will need more care and support with areas such as mobility, care and communication.
And from Wikipedia:
People with Severe ID (IQ 20–34), accounting for 3.5% of persons with ID, or Profound ID (IQ 19 or below), accounting for 1.5% of people with ID, need more intensive support and supervision for their entire lives. They may learn some [activities of daily living], but an intellectual disability is considered severe or profound when individuals are unable to independently care for themselves without ongoing significant assistance from a caregiver throughout adulthood.
I think that could qualify as “pretty much a vegetable”, if a bit crass.
It kinda depends on what kinds of daily activity they can learn and what the nature of the support is.
Like, reading the description, I’m thinking of elderly dementia patients, and I wouldn’t call them “pretty much vegetables”, even if they need very intensive assistance.
But I suppose “pretty much” can cover a very wide range for different people.
More than just Europe. 99 % of the world’s countries use Celcius.
I use Rankine to confuse everyone.
In that case room temperature IQ means you’re by far the smartest person who’s ever lived.
Esoteric! I dig it
Casuals, I measure in K.
300 iq moment!
“You’ve got a room temperature IQ.”
“Yeah, so do you, but mine is in Kelvin and yours is in Celsius.”
“I don’t think an IQ approaching absolute zero is the brag you think it is”
How cold is your room?
Improbably cold judging by their response.
“You might want to look up what room temperature actually is in Kelvin bud, couple dozen standard deviations above average when you translate it to IQ scoring on something like a WISC test. What do I know though? I use Fahrenheit.”
For anybody wondering: that’s 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit.
No one was wondering. In the USA we have intelligence quotients that are high enough to convert, even at room temp. Its surprising I know, but room temperature I.Q.'s don’t operate on metric here. It takes a little more effort you see… Very smart.
It seems halfway through your attempted burn you realized I was speaking to non-USians…
My room temperature has central air conditioning and I like it cooold.
true but murican measurements are an overall bigger insult to humanity
Not only because of the units, also prevalence
Unless it’s -40
I suppose that this would be relevant in the Arctic region.
As someone discovering their IQ might be room temperature, I forgot we were talking about room temperature. Maybe there’s arctic mushrooms to back me up? Or an ice fishing bathroom with the door left open
or eastern Europe in winter
Weird RNG:
translation?
It’s a shame that European-room-temperature IQs are so prominently visible in the states.
I don’t even know the Fahrenheit room temperature
Few do
72
This does not make sense since around 20 would be a vegetable.
And? How’s that not a good insult?
People are proud of being ignorant in the us
Thanks a lot polish German Dutch scientist that came up with Fahrenheit
pls dont give europe credit for fahrenheit. we are not proud of it. just keep blaming the americans :3
