BarryPs Unhinged "What do you think AOC's IQ is?" Thread

[BarryP]

I was hoping to sum of some of the stats on the thread about just how stupid Alexandria Ocasio Cortez allegedly is. FWIW, IQs correlate pretty well with certain levels of accomplishment. That isn’t to say that a person with a high IQ will necessarily be very accomplished, but generally speaking, most accomplishments do require a minimum IQ level. Entrance to grad school right out of undergrad is at an IQ of ~120. Entrance to college at ~105. 100 is considered an average IQ. At an IQ of 75 you have about a 50% chance of graduating high school.

So two noted accomplishments of AOC are graduating cum laude from Boston University and finishing 2nd place in the micro biology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Based on that information, or any other information you’d like to provide, what do you think the lowest her IQ could be measured at.

I’m keeping track of answers right here:

Ironmaybe - “Quite good”
Ripple - Won’t give a number, but made up a term called “book aware.”
Duffy - “How the fuck would I know and how is it relevant?”
JSA - “I don’t know”
Slowguy - “Not stupid”
Orphious - “She’s book smart.”
rick_pcfl - won’t answer
trimick - “Its a bullshit question and impossible to answer.”
Bluemonkeytri - “She got pushed through on an athletic scholarship.”
BarryP - Likely 120-130

If IQ correlates with accomplishment… Let’s examine the Whitehouse

As an aside, guessing north of 120

She is articulate even if its mostly nonsense where as current incumbent of WH speaks nonsense inarticulately

To me, this is a hard one, because she is clearly relatively bright, but she has said some things that I would never have said and which suggest some mental gaps (though one can forgive some rooky public speaking gaffes b/c we can all get nervous).

In general I would guess her IQ is somewhere in the 115-125 range, bearing in mind 90-110 is ‘normal.’

That would be about my guess. Butto me it is irrelevant to a discussion of whether she is stupid, stupid is not an IQ based definition for this discussion and doing well in school is not directly correlated with IQ even if it were.

adjective
1.
having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense.

The things she is getting picked on for are the times she lacks common sense, e.g. pay for health care with the unaccounted for military spending or whatever the exact quote was.

She talks about things she doesn’t know about and doesn’t know what she doesn’t know.

You are such a dishonest, lying sack of shit. You really are. You never asked me that question, so, to say “won’t answer” is a flat out lie.

I understand you are unstable. I understand you are not too bright. I understand you have demons screaming at you day and night. But, quit being a lying sack of shit!

My answer is - I don’t know and neither do you.

Now quit lying you lying sack of shit.

Barry doesn’t seem to understand any of that. Plus, he is a lying sack of shit.

pish posh. Barry is a man of science!! He needs evidence based numbers!! He’s made nearly 600 posts in 2 separate threads PROVING she is not stupid. Even though stupid is a subjective term (or adjective)

Once his science has proved this he is going to move on to the word “squishy”

Come on man, numbers!! What is the lowest possible IQ you think BarryP can have to make a statement like that?

[BLeP]

BLeP = High IQ

BLeP = Sometimes lacks common sense

BLeP = Sometimes can’t stop himself from talking about subjects that he doesn’t have enough knowledge about to make smart comments

***Justin: *Doug, AOC has been getting a lot of press lately. What are your thoughts on her? Specifically, what do you think of her platform and her idea for a Green New Deal?

Doug: Most likely she’s the future of the Democratic Party – and of the U.S. Why? She’s cute, vivacious, charming, different, outspoken, and has a plan to Make America Great Again. And she’s shrewd. She realized she could win by ringing doorbells in her district, where voter turnout was very low, and about 70% are non-white. There was zero motivation for residents to turn out for the tired, corrupt, old hack of a white man she ran against.

She’s certainly politically astute – but doesn’t seem very intelligent. In fact, she’s probably quite stupid. But let’s define the word stupid, otherwise, it’s just a meaningless pejorative – name-calling.

But in fact it doesn’t seem like she has a very high IQ. I suspect that if she took a standardized IQ test, she’d be someplace in the low end of the normal range. But that’s just conjecture on my part, entirely apart from the fact a high IQ doesn’t necessarily correlate with success. Besides, there are many kinds of intelligence – athletic, aesthetic, emotional, situational…

A high IQ can actually be a disadvantage in getting elected. Remember it’s a bell-shaped curve; the “average” person isn’t terribly smart, compounded by the fact half the population has an IQ of less than 100. And they’re suspicious of anyone who’s more than, say, 15 points smarter than they are.

However, there are better ways to define stupid than “a low score on an IQ test,” that apply to Alexandria. Stupid is the inability to not just predict the immediate and direct consequences of actions, but especially the indirect and delayed consequences of your actions.

She’s clearly unable to do that. She can predict the immediate and direct consequences of the policies she’s promoting – everybody getting excited about liberating all other people’s wealth that just seems to be sitting around. Power to the People, and Alexandria! But she’s unable to see the indirect and delayed consequences of her policies – which I hope I don’t have to explain to anyone now reading this.

If you promise people unicorns, lollipops, and free everything, they’re going to say, “Gee, I like that, let’s do it.” She’s clever on about a third grade level.
