Do you think that generally/on average, poorer people have slightly lower IQs than middle class people?

Obviously, there are dumb middle class people and smart poor people. But on average/generally, do you think that poor people have slightly lower IQs than middle class people?
This could be tested by taking one million poor people and one million middle class people. Add up the IQs of each, then divide by one million. That will get you an average IQ for each class.

Yes, yes I do.

No, no I don't.

Not sure.

Not sure…probably not…don’t care.

Actually, the ability to take a test is provably less in poverty stricken communities. Doesn’t mean their “potential score” would be less. That’s why IQ isn’t high on my list.

How do you measure intelligence then?

[OddBeMe]

From a plethora of sources. IQ test could be one piece of evidence. But there’s “high IQ” people living with their parents unable to deal with the world.

Id also measure accomplishments.

No. Not as savvy though…. not exposed to as much. I know super bright poor trash from Testing.

I've lived among and worked with poor people, and the overwhelming majority of them are stupid.
