Discussion the gap between midwit and high IQ is smaller than the gap between low IQ and midwit

[zombiebeatz2006]

midwits understand these gaps and can push themselves towards higher IQ. low IQ will never grasp the disparity with a midwit, they just dont care

Opposite

Ok

Okay, I misspoke.

This is usually how it works (there must be a reason why dunning kruger involves above-average people more):
- although above-average intelligence is a good thing it’s often hampered by an overly logical approach
- I don’t consider "midwits" people with average intelligence, but I do consider midwits those who are above or slightly above average
- an average iq is sometimes more flexible
- a low iq obviously has more or less visible limits
- the threshold at which flexibility is put to good use is usually 130+

I know iq doesn’t mean intelligence, it was a simplification
Pretend I'm referring to the g factor

sounds like something a mid wit would say! low iqs and midwits are the same

Midwits?
Low iq?
Put them in ranges

Midwit is usually 115-125 with a margin of five (more or less)
That is, those who are smarter than average but not smart enough to recognise the limitations of their approach
