Jesus, the average human IQ is only 100?
IQ tests are specially designed so that whatever the average is, it's marked as 100. It's graded on a curve. So if you took a room full of MENSA candidates and ONLY measured them (let's say the rest of the human population had been killed off), the average IQ there would be 100. And the same applies to if it were a room full of people with Downs syndrome.
Seriously, doesn't everyone learn that?
