Is your father smarter than you

In statistics, regression toward the mean (also called regression to the mean, reversion to the mean, and reversion to mediocrity) is the phenomenon where if one sample of a random variable is extreme, the next sampling of the same random variable is likely to be closer to its mean.[2][3][4]



The children of parents with extreme scores on either end tend to regress towards the mean

so the offspring of dumb parents will regress upwards to the mean of their group, and the offspring of smart parents will regress downwards to the mean of their group

(Ie, smart parents have slightly less smart kids and dumb parents have slight less dumb kids)

 

[Autist]

Compared to me, he has mental retardation.

I don't want to disrespect mine but there's a clear gap.

 

[Sir Waco]

Hard to tell since he was bluepilled and obsessed with sex while also being an electrician and hobbyist at the same time.

 

[PersonalityChad]

He's not smarter than me

 

[Poopless One]

He's said he thinks Im smarter than him...

Im fucked...

 

[Paladin]

No I mog in terms of academic achievements. Actual IQ gap between me and him probably isn't that big though

 

[glutty]

He's about the same level.

 

[Regenerator]

I'm the smartest in my family easily. Everyone else just seems to appeal to popularity & follow the normie hivemind sadly.

I don't think we're talking NPC culture. But IQ, processing speed, cognitive functions, etc.

I did an IQ test & it came back 100IQ. I don't think anyone else in my family ever did an IQ test.

me neither but it's obvious if someone is slower than the other.

Interesting that most have equally smart or slightly dumber fathers

That implies most of the userbase here are either average (no regression) to below average (upwards regression) in intelligence

this forum's userbase is dumb AF from my experience.

A non-negligible portion of the user ase doesn't believe in evolution as @beyondschizo revealed

 

[boneless goblin]

he's smart but not as much as I am

It's technically a good thing cuz it means we have more dysgenic truecels.

 

[unionistcel]

He’s got quite a high IQ (for UK) and I’m a bit thick can’t lie mate

D Doesn't the UK have the same mean IQ as the US?

 

[unionistcel]

99.12 is the UK average mate

Virtually the same for all intents and purposes

Fair enough mate I suppose

[TooSomething]

I am DEFINETELY smarter than my father and also than my mother.

My mother is a JW. Obviousely these people aren't very bright.

My father is a "muh Soviet union"-cuck faggot, so there s that.

 

[Justanotherbloke]

I'm a tad bit smarter I reckon

 

[sk.feelsdevil]

In terms of EQ and social skills he is smarter than me. In terms of generic abstraction and IQ he is dumber than me.

Mind you he has very mild dementia too. So idk he is bound to lose his rizz in the coming years.

 

[Zer0/∞]

He has a Masters, I’m a dropout with a 0.00 GPA
