OK, after visiting his website, I take back that bit about McCain having a three-figure IQ.

Disappointing, isn't it?

The most recent clip that comes to mind, the man looks put-upon ... as though he's doing something he'd really rather not be doing ... uninspired at least.

Did you read some of the William F. Buckley RIPs? Good stuff in most papers and magazines, and some really put his ideology on display (like how he was oddly sympathetic to racists).
It's not a great time for conservative thought, and yet the tendency remains, like some sulking dragon.

I'm not sure but I think that half of the human population has double digit IQs.

Ralph Nader has announced his intention to run for president of the united states. This makes me happy.

IQ digits

Single digit IQs is what initially threw me off. Here are my caculations, hopefully you don't make the same error that I did and claim that half the population has double digit IQ scores.

4.5% of the population has below a 10 for an IQ score: digits 1-9 = 9 digits
45% of the population has double digit scores: digits 10-99 = 90 digits
50.5% of the population has triple digit scores: digits 100-200 = 101 digits

Certain tests have been created for people who are near or at a 200 IQ score, allowing them to test higher than 200 for the sake of testing. These exceptional 200+ scores don't pass into the quadruple digits.

I also haven't been able to find any documentation regarding the percentage of people with a zero IQ score.

correction:
Amongst IQ scores there are; 9 number scores with single digits, 90 number scores with double digits, and 101 number scores with triple digits.

sorry

That would be true if it were a perfectly symmetrical curve.
