is iq exponential or linear?

[Thrembologist]

obviously the probability of a non-standard iq falls off exponentially (50% of people are above 100, 1% of people are above 135, and only 0.1% of people are above 150). but im talking about the actual intelligence a person has given a certain iq. is the difference of 150 and 151 iq any larger than the difference between 100 and 101 iq?

I don't know.

t. scored 84 on an IQ test

The metric is linear. It's determined entirely based off a test score

IQ tests are complete bullshit and should be ignored

mostly yes, but i feel like if someone gets a very low (sub 85) or very high (140+) then it obviously shows something about their intelligence.

The ones I've taken gave me the impression that a moron could get a relatively high score just by dumb luck, so I don't think they're accurate.

I did get a legit one, dumbass. That's why I was disappointed in it's format. I wouldn't have expected much from some 3rd world clickbait test.
