I’m currently 16 (nearly 17), and this graph is so very true regarding my mother. For dad, who died of cancer a little over a year ago, it was consistently high. Always had a great deal of respect for the guy.

Right, I’m just looking for a valid answer here. What is your problem with those of us at FailBlog? We’re quite nice and friendly, really. You don’t see us being nasty about other sites… well, not often. We’re too busy giving out squeezes and cookies, and doing epic punruns. And by the way, Marekatt, when insulting the intelligence of others, it helps a lot if you spell things right.

Somewhere, there is a kid who’s genius parents recieved brain damage in a serious accident when he was 12, but then began a gradual recovery over the next several decades, and, consequently, he is entirely justified in this belief. Good for him, I guess?

You mean the graph isn’t accurate?
Oh dear! We have to remove it at once!!

Err..

Hey, I’m 15 and my perception of my parents’ IQ hasn’t dropped at all. If anything it’s risen some.

I guess your intelligence just drops when you’re young and in your older years.

Wikipedia is marginally more intelligent than my parents… but don’t tell them that.

What we see demonstrated on this graph is the “reality bites you in the ass” bounce.

Google still functions similarly =D

As was I XD Actually, that’s what I thought the graph meant at first, then I read the title again.

Go to failblog and you’ll see who’s pulling the avarage down.

Yes, by definition.

Sad, but quite possibly true.

I think it’d be funnier if this was parents perception of child’s IQ

I’m 22 and my estimate for my mother is still in the 15 year IQ range. I don’t foresee this to change… ever.

sometimes i wish i could go back to that age where i thought they were the equivalent of steven hawking…i think there was more love between my rents and i when i felt that i could ask them anything and trust that the answer was true.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

Maybe I should make a pie chart on:

Time I spend ‘yapping’ compared to time I spend actually making graphs.

Oh dear…. the ‘yapping’ slice just got bigger.

Do you think your estimation of your parents IQ actually increases as you get older or do you think your judgment becomes skewed by your own falling IQ?

Good thing they put the word “years” in parentheses.

I think you should quit yapping and just make one.

Definitely !

I think the reverse graph might be similar.
