Hi Robert,
        A few years ago when I was remarking upon how stunned
I was by how dumb so many people are someone stated, "You
just don't appreciate how dumb an IQ of 100 really is." Well, I
have been teaching at a Community College for about 12 years
now and I am starting to become a believer.
        Best wishes, Michael PS: Not only is 100, by definition, the
"average' - you must also remember that nearly HALF the people
have an IQ LOWER THAN 100! (This is also by definition, since the
original sample was so huge, the mean, median and mode were all
the same, forming a true and absolute bell curve - it is only "nearly"
half because some are exactly 100)
