I have been diagnosed as bipolar and I have a genius level IQ.
A lot of people with mild retardation or learning disabilities are diagnosed with some sort of mental illness but it does not apply to everyone.
I am able to process lots of different types of information at the same time and apply it analytically in problem solving situations. That is a benefit. Sometimes I think about too much stuff and I get distracted from what I'm doing. This isn't always good.
Not that anyone can prove. There are theories that bipolar people may have better imagination and creativity - read Touched with Fire, by Kay Jameson.
That would pretty much depend on which percentage of people is higher...High IQ or Low IQ. If the largest percentage of the population was Low IQ for example than they would continue to produce a large number of Low IQ children and those children would then chose equally Low IQ mates the IQ of general society would be low. If the largest percentage of people was High IQ then again the number of High IQ people would continue to rise. High or low eventually society would even out to a fairly consistant IQ level through out the population. If this IQ level is high society may become more advanced and progress. If this IQ level is low then society may fall behind and not progress well.
a low IQ is when somebody with a low IQ is not so smart if u have a high IQ it means u r smart
As with any population it varies, however studies show it is higher on average than in the general population. But the studies vary by how much. However it is vital to remember that the only thing IQ scores measure reliably is ones ability to score high on IQ tests. They have no other proven value.
Yes
Low IQ means that you are under averagely smart!
