Actually, there are good reasons for developing materials for lower IQs. The average IQ is 100. Half the population is above that ... and half of it is below. If you develop material that requires an average IQ to understand, half of the population will not understand it. For this reason, it makes more sense to develop material for a lower target IQ, so that a much larger percentage of the population can handle it. If you target an IQ of 70, for example, about 98% of the population will be able to understand it. This is the reason for "dumbing down" materials to the lowest common denominator (within reason). In commercial endeavors, you dumb down your advertising and other materials until everyone with the money to buy your product or service can understand it. In politics, you dumb down your rhetoric and policy until everyone with the ability to vote can understand it. Wow, you really are a geniius. I have a six month old puppy who could figure that out. And he's house broken! More than we could say for you. Bertie |
