No Poll. View Quote I will say average. Average isn't all that high. |

I'm just glad it's not yet possible for people to literally fling their own poo via the internet. |
|
Lots of intelligent members on this site, the tech forums are a great source of info.
|
|
A lot of smart people hang out here because hanging around smart people is boring.

You have to be kinda ballsy to post in GD.
That said... "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity." |
|
There are plenty of ignorant, narrowminded, and illogical elitists here. I'd say GD is a bit above the typical cross section of American people, but they can still leave you going quite easily sometimes.
|

I've learned that most here are smarter, stronger, better looking and wealthier than I am.
|
|
I think there is every one from genuises to absolute retards here. |

Half or better of the members here don't know how to properly use a dollar sign. Just as many insist on incorrectly using "of" in place of "have" in a sentence.
What does that tell you about the intelligence level of the members? I have a theory that Arfcom is full of basement dwellers because they lack the cognitive faculties to climb stairs. |

|
Really despite the derp, it is surprising how people can typically write okay on here. I'd say above average

I used to think I was.
But life has taught me otherwise. Everyday I am appalled to learn just how little I know. |
|
I will say that there are many people in GD who are highly intelligent and/or have a great depth of knowledge and experience.
Whether that constitutes most is debateable. |
|
Honestly, I think that GD is probably an accurate cross section of humanity when it comes to intelligence. There are some really brilliant people here, there are some morons and everything in the middle.

And other- as crazy as me could be an answer. Assholes, jerkoffs, hyper-intelligent asshats another..... |

It's bell curve, like any other bell curve.
The issue is not "Which members are smart?" It's "Which dumb members are willing to learn, and not just shoot their internet mall ninja tacti-cool mouths off?" |

Quoted: Really despite the derp, it is surprising how people can typically write okay on here. I'd say above average View Quote Very true. We don't have a grammar and spelling rule on this forum like some do, yet most people at least make the attempt. Some fail, but they come a lot closer than some of the people I've seen on other forums or on Facebook. Or text messaging. Oh, God. The text messages... It probably also helps that our average membership age isn't 17. |

I think most are pretty smart...........NUTS but pretty smart.
|
|
Other than the God-forsaken 13ers, people in GD are pretty smart.
I know I have my GED and it's not like they just give those out. |

I think that when one factors in the
aggregation of exchanges that are facilitated by this esoteric forum we call Arfcom, one can only conclude, assuming the use of a rational basis of analysis, that the inter-changes are reflective of a plethora of cognitive abilities. However, if we were to redact the outliers on the two extremities of causation, we would, as a whole, be left with a slightly higher median when a comparative analysis is relegated against a random distribution of the general population as a whole. |

GD is just a cross section of the nation as a whole, some smart, some stupid, and a large majority in the middle.
Though we have a small amount of people who are well educated and have a knowledge base to dwarf most of us. A good portion are neither gifted nor stupid, they simply know the trade or craft they use to get thru life and take in as much else as they can along the way to better themselves. At least I like to think they do, but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree it will go it's whole life believing it is stupid. However, given the fact that most conservatives are generally more motivated in life than the general population I tend to believe that forums such as this are a little bit ahead of the curve as a whole. As far as I stand, I consider myself average. |

I have that mouse pad....lol |

Other. Gun totin lunatics I tell ya. They are savages, hell bent on global domination. Run!

SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE 105-115 IQs but they are lazy and like to mimic whatever the current trend is. few seem to posses critical thinking skills or the ability to see an argument through to a logical conclusion.
GD also seems incapable of doing it's own research- ie using google |
