I wish I could say the same. But I hardly know anyone's IQ. I guess IQ testing is more of an American thing. In general, few neurotypicals know their IQ in Europe, because the only reason to have an IQ test is for psychtriatry to figure out what is wrong with you.

Hah! IQ is sort of like salary. It doesn't come up in casual conversation. On the other hand, there are smart people and then there are these others.
After Sputnik, there was a big push over here. There were achievement tests and intelligence tests and there was new math,and so there were parents that knew a bit about their kiddos. It's more like you say now. Aptitude tests are used to sort out whats going on with an obviously bright student who seems to struggle with daily tasks. Good at puzzles, not good at reading for example.
I work in a field where there are a lot of sharp people. Everyone kinda knows who they are.
One day I looked up ranges for various occupations.

Not a perfect site but there's this one https://psychologenie.com/average-iq-score
and this one for test correlations

Anyway. Stats say roughly 1 in 100 are up there. Not an easy sort to say the least.
And, thanks for your thoughts!
