About a year ago I posted an anonymous poll asking readers What was your most recent score on an official professionally administered individual IQ test taken in the last 10 years? Of those who reported a score, the mean was 129 with a standard deviation of 21 (n = 93).
When I removed likely trolls–those who picked the most extreme IQs on the poll (160+ or 40 or less), the mean remained 129 but the SD shrunk to 15 (n = 84) with a range of 60 to 155.
This is very close to commenter Bruno’s estimate that the average IQ here is 125 and when you consider that a lot of people get tested on scales using outdated norms, it’s probably more like 127 with a range of 58 to 153.
Also, people are scored against national norms. If (U.S.) white noms are used (as is done in international research) it would reduce exactly to 125 and the SD would increase to 15.5 with a range of 53 to 152.

Very interesting. LoB readership – inferring from commenters – is 115, but with a larger sd. There more united by a mix of HbD, conservative values, a bit of white resentment and some analytical delicatessen. Unz writers are very interesting but I never read the comments, so I don’t know if there is a community there. I was beginning to read Lindsay but I got distressed because he asked me for money. I understand that but I got stressed. I would have given after a while anonymously. Now I don’t dare even to read it any more …
Yours is quite fine. I’d love to see Afro, Feenopy and Philo hand by hand singing « We Are Family »

That’s cute. Or maybe “We Are the World”.
That’s would be our tune Gond, you, kitty and me sitting, accompanying the three dancing extroverts clapping, while Pumpkin would stand in a stool with a conductor’s baton.
Haha, I noticed you were a genuinely funny guy. You couldn’t be if you were autistic.
Many of LoftB commenters are low on the IQ spectrum. He gets a lot of randoms. The regular commenters tend to be smarter. White resentment because American Whites are lower quality in mental and cultural output.
Maybe that’s why I always tested so high…I was scored against white noms. On the white nom scale, I’m way up there…the average white nom is ‘nom…nom…nom…,’ but my nom is ‘nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom.”
with a mean of 129 and a deviation of 15.5 that means my IQ of 113 turns into 85 in comparison to all other readers. Not surprising…
Animekitty 113 – to 84

Sometimes my mind works 15 points faster than normal.
It is an elucidating experience,
the mental clarity makes mental activity so effortless.
