“0.1% is 55 and below? F*. 2% of the population is 70, Jesus! Between 55 and 70, [it’s] 2% of the population. And then, 14% of the population is 85.”
Yes. IQ is a score on a bell curve, such that the median is 100 and that one standard deviation is 15. This is EXACTLY what you’d expect given the parameters of such a curve.
I’m not even convinced they were looking at American demographics specifically, I think that they’d just stumbled onto the literal definition of the curve and didn’t understand it.
