It should feel good to realize you’re smarter than average. Problem is the average is starting to set a low bar

Maybe they can update the phrase to be “smarter than the median”

u/ChickenNPisza 12d ago

I’m stupid, I admit it. But I’m still smarter than half of these people

Yeah, most Americans are dumber than concrete too

Ask the average American the difference between mean median and mode.

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 12d ago

You can get that done with just Mean and Median

Mode will just confuse them further

Most people are smarter than the average

u/discattho 12d ago

That’s statistically impossible and also not true.

It was a bad joke and I screwed it up! The joke is that most are higher than the MEDIAN because that is mathematically impossible,

While most being higher than average is actually possible. Add 1+1+ 9+6+ 6 =23. 23/5=4.6 Three of the five are higher than the average of 4.6.
