What actions do you associate with a below average IQ?

Fart jokes are still funny.

Truth.

There are burn marks on the seat of my camping chair from doing blue darts around the campfire.
Crowd pleaser every time
 
We once named our bowling team "WE BOWL RIQ" because we all started the season with averages in the 150's or higher.

It was a great name - nobody could figure it out though!

The past few seasons I think my bowling average does pretty closely match my IQ. Both are pretty decent.

Although honestly, I don't really know what my IQ is.

Bowling under a 100???? I wouldn't brag about that, sis.

Bowling 150???? after being in a bowling league for a while, or bowling more than once a year??? I wouldn't be bringing the subject up, still.

not caring enough about your IQ to take one of the tests your schoolteacher friends like to give all their friends?

you're already over 150, for sure.

knowing how to sound out "RIQ", and knowing it's a brag as a name, measures you all above 180.
 
Desire to please and be thought of as productive and helpful.

Personally, I'm saddened by all the negative connotations in this thread.

what now?

you want to tell us all to be proud of our sub-100 IQs? Must we really love the poor white less-evolved trailer trash our mainstream media is targeting for rehab?

you ask too much of people, just let us feel comfortable in our own skins, even if our knuckles do drag a bit.

OK, you win. Let's all get PC and drop all the hate speech about "Stupid".

and "conservative". But please let me still rag on elites, super-wealthy corporate cartelists who see the brave new enlightened age of the New World Order, OK?

personally, I think mockery is the highest form of civilization. It's presence in the public discourse is the surest indication of intelligence and freedom, and maybe happiness too.
 
On a more serious note I would say bad grammar and poor reading ability/lack of desire to read.
 
On a serious note, to me it all starts with listening to someone talk. Not being able to form a clear and concise statement is a big indicator. Half the people in the NFL and college football should be required to have a translator with them at all times.
 
Now I personally fall below your threshold, but I've always differentiated between celebrity reality TV, like keeping up with the Kardashians, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, from Competitive Reality TV like Survivor, the Amazing Race, from whatever you'd call reality TV based on odd professions or personalities like Deadliest Catch, Duck Dynasty, etc. If there is a reality TV show associated with a persons hobbies (like duck hunting, or driving on "ice roads") I'll give 'em a freebie on watching reality shows associated with that. But I have pretty much zero tolerance for the trashiest of the bunch, like Jersey Shore, Real Housewives.

The thing about all of them is that even though they're called "reality" TV, the producers are actively making things happen so that the crew being paid to film and edit it all can do so without having to weed through 1000s of hours of nothing. Even the competition shows are manipulated by production. Pawn Stars has been shown to be at least largely staged. This stuff is not reality TV, it's semi-scripted, production driven, shows featuring amateur actors.

So I differentiate because I watch Survivor, Amazing Race (probably best of the bunch) and Big Brother (worst of the bunch). It's easy to look down on them, but I like watching how people act in a social game motivated by an easy payday.

Great points and I agree.
 
Don't act like you've never shown up to a Taco Bell wearing a sombrero.

Duck, this actually goes strongly the other way.

Panda Express is Chinese, not Japanese. Showing up there with a Samurai registers pretty strong on the threat scale.

How many Chinese were killed in WWII and the Manchurian campaign before>?
 
Bringing a samari sword with you to a Panda Express to show your cultural appropriation.

Underrated post of the thread.

OP's question: Never getting an education above high school, yet think you're right about everything, regardless of who you're talking to. On top of that, not realizing the aforementioned fail until you're almost 34.

FML.
