Honest question. If you removed everyone under 100 IQ (assuming 100 is the average of the entire world and not simply a first world baseline) what would the new IQ be? If you repeated this multiple times what would the relationship be for increasing IQ? How much of the population would be excluded after each removal.

The first time you did it, IQ would immediately have to be readjusted. The distribution would significantly change from a normal distribution, and the average will no longer be the same as the median. I think just jump on to matlab and write a function to figure this out.

Then IQ of the following would be readjusted this way:
- 110 IQ to 70 IQ | Smooth-talking politicians (Alexandra Occassional Cotex) and SJWs
- 120 IQ to 85 IQ | Sad pseudointellectual philosophers
- 130 IQ to 100 IQ | Big city big guy businessmen
- 140 IQ to 115 IQ | Mensalets
- 150 IQ to 200 IQ | Me because fuck you, that's why.

Isn't IQ by definition 100 at the population average? Meaning it would stay at 100 regardless?

>>11162126
Obviously it would be reajusted each time and I want to know what the new average IQ would be relative to the current average.

100
That’s how IQ works

it wouldn't be a bell curve anymore, for starters
see pic related
it's a bell curve because the central (median) iq is the most common
if you euthanized the left half, the most common iq would now be the lowest iq.
the average iq would rise slightly or not at all, and the median iq would rise significantly (exactly how much idk, you do the math)

The new median IQ would be 110. I can't be fucked to calculate the new mean right now
