Happens three to four times a day. I don't delete my cookies, I'm not doing anything.

Rusty is clearly using the cheap-bargain-gratis-tier of Cloudflare. Results are about as expected.

Now I can't even get through the Cloudflare "check" without using a different VPN.

I get an infinite "bot check".

I think Cloudflare just wants to improve everyone's IQ which is why they offer challenges to everyone outside of NA.

So true. Are you sure you're not the real Crispy.

IQ is not an INT stat. The IQ curve is a gaussian distribution for a group. A normal-curve. If you have low IQ it is low compared to the rest of the group. If you remove the smart people in the group results in the remaining individuals' IQ rising in general, that's not because those who remain are smarter than those who left, quite the opposite. You're still stupid, but since the smart people left then compared to the other idiots you're more "normal" now.

Tl;dr if removing everyone outside of NA improves the IQ of those who remain at the HQ then that confirms HQ Americans are indeed ********, i.e. probably substantially under 95IQ. If removing everyone outside of NA degrades the IQ of those who remain then HQ Americans would be very smart. But as your post proves, you aren't. :scratch-pipe:

That is not how IQ is defined lol
IQ is not redefined for every group; it's a bell curve standardized once globally, then adjusted for the Flynn effect in cases where that applies. It's not the same thing as a grading curve where you calibrate it over a specific group...

100 IQ in Africa is probably the same as 100 IQ in America. Because you're *******.

IQ is defined globally. On any given specific test, 100 IQ is the same score everywhere.

This isn't like degrees F vs degrees C.

This is like Kelvin. Everyone is measured by the same metric.

But if you have proof to the contrary, go ahead and provide it. I'm not against learning better.

You are clearly not American. Smarter and more virile than those *******.

IQ is statistics. For instance IQ of 130 means you have higher intelligence than almost 98% of people. So only 2% or so of people are equal or better than you. No matter the population there will always be people who score 160 IQ because they have to. That is how the system is designed, it is statistics. Not a measurement of INT.

If you have IQ of 100 it means half of the population is smarter than you and half is dumber.

The opposite of you, a Stack of Dicks who has IQ of 70 is the exact reverse. 98% of the population is smarter than he is. Only 2% are dumber. This is how IQ is defined. It means that most people have a very easy time finding someone smarter than SoD, but finding someone dumber isn't just difficult, it's difficult to measure when the stupidity is that intense who is more stupid, SoD with 70IQ, Acrux with 68IQ or Logincrash with 72IQ (because he knew to delete his post).

It doesn't tell you your INT, it just tells you where you are placed among the general population.

IQ is arguably useful information, but it isn't stats in an RPG. It's statistics for nerds.

It's funny to see what a midwit is like in action.

You're very close, but you've got some crucial misunderstandings. It's true that IQ is statistically defined with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, and I suppose it's true that it "doesn't tell you your INT" (because there's no such thing). It's just not redefined relatively for specific populations, but has one single global definition. In fact, because the statistical definition is against a sample population, the overall mean isn't even 100. Someone with an IQ of 100 is smarter than significantly more than half of all people — he's just smarter than half of the sample population the IQ test is defined against. On top of that, IQ isn't one single consistent measure, so different tests produce slightly different results.

IQ relative to a reference population, the average IQ in Nigeria is 100, the average IQ of Nigeria is sub-70. Many national IQs are calculated using proxy variables, because nearly everything is a proxy for g(PISA is the most common)
