You forgot that they're approximations.

That has nothing to do with anything. it only takes one average person to put your statement into question.

Which turns me into a big jerk but probably less then a person who just called two people stupid.

What I mean is, there is no such thing as a person with average intelligence since it is impossible to measure it accurately. There's a reason IQ doesn't go into decimals. Remember than one 0.1KM is still 100 meters.

So, THEORETICALLY, half the people on earth are have a lower intelligence than average! This statement tests the data analysis skills of the person. Since this skill is closely tied with intelligence, it is a good rule of thumb.

On a side note: As one person said "A Person is smart, people are dumb"

That was the Men in Black movie IIRC.

I also say that there will be two people with the Average intelligence especially since Average is a range.

Since when was average a range? An average is an exact point. The range is an estimate.

Average is often a range since putting it as a point is often well, pointless.

IQ tests are done that way as are Personality tests.

Exactly, but it should be a more accurate test than "Tell them half the people in the world have lower than average intelligence".

Except that not all jobs have the same workdays. Some people don't actually work on Mondays and Fridays.

A more accurate statement would be "14.2857143~% of all days of the week are Sundays."
