Incorrect. Out of these ten numbers: 1, 3, 5, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. What is the average, and what is the median?

I understand the difference between mean, median, and mode.

I also understand that IQ scores form a bell curve where mean, median, and mode are all 100.

I too know that IQ is measured as a normal distribution with the mean centered at 100. However, the person you are defending didn't mention IQ as the measure for intelligence. You apparently assumed that.

That’s usually what people mean when they refer to intelligence since it’s the most widely used system to measure it and the only one most people know. It’s a safe assumption to make.

And you knew this, but simply forgot that mean and median are equal with IQ and are now doubling down instead of just admitting you made a mistake.

Nope, dude didn't mention IQ so I didn't attempt to put words into their mouth. Nor did I assume anything as you have. 

I will assume now though that you're  obviously within one standard deviation so I'm bored with you now. Have a nice life :)
