"First I will tell you,an average I.Q. is 100, which you should have known with an I.Q. of 127"
I have to say.. that hvaing a high IQ does NOT equate with having large amounts of knowledge. I have a recently tested IQ of 128, yet I didn't know 100 was average.. I presumed the average would change depending on what group was being tested.. eg, The UK or Outer Mongolia etc
I once worked with some of the most intelligent people in my industry.. every single one had a genius IQ. Yet the vast majority had no real life experience, and only knew alot about their particular subject.
No ones knows something until they learn it. So please don't tell people they should know something just because of their IQ.
