IQ according to which test, though? My evaluation used WAIS-IV.
No.3153
Anything higher than that of the person using the term.
No.3154
The wide spread of responses indicates that you should not use the term because people will take it to mean almost any IQ level that's not mad scientist.
No.3155
Any IQ lower than mine, which is 125 (tested on various different internet IQ tests over the years) (yeah, I know, I'm pretty smart)

Took an IQ test when as a kid, to get in an accelerated program at school. It pegged me at 120 or 121. And given my experience with people throughout life that aren't family, I'd say I'm on the upper end of the midwit range because I've come across a lot of "midwits". That probably means I'm a midwit too. So anything between 125-100 seems like a good range, encompassing the midwit-spectrum.
>>3154I think that's the intent of the word or at least an expected result. A midwit is supposed to be someone that is smarter than average but not a genius.
No.3158
I've found that the real indicator of midwit-ness is regular use of the word 'midwit'. The vast majority of people I've met who use that term have been these internet dipshits who learn about philosophy from youtube videos.

>>3157>I think that's the intent of the wordThe intent is to insult people who think they're really smart just because they're not complete idiots, specifically people who criticize art for being shallow when they fail to understand the deeper layer of it. For example, someone who sees past EVA's religious imagery as being random nonsense there to look cool but doesn't understand the emotional issues Shinji is going through would be considered a midwit. It's elitists looking down on plebs who can't appreciate true art, it's not actually about IQ.

>>3160iunno i honestly had to look up the word's definition for this thread because in every context i saw it it was interchangeable with idiot/moron/retard/etc
No.3162
>>3160>plebs who can't appreciate true artI would say that's part of the difference between a genius and an above average intelligence or "smart" person. And the term isn't exclusive to creative endeavors, it's often used in reference to not understanding something on a deeper level. As an example, the "midwit" thinks quantum mechanics is all about probabilities and the "genius" knows it's just algebra.

I had never heard of this term. Apparently it's some /pol/ meme. Therefore I'm going to have to agree with
>>3158. By definition the people using it have to be low IQ, so the people they're labeling must be at least 3 billion IQ.

>>3160Shinji's emotional issues are pretty silly as well in my opinion, everybody in the series is written pretty poorly and everything is way too over dramatised.
But that's just my opinion and really that's what views on art are, opinions and they often aren't connected to intelligence at all in fact most often that would be the case as most art is after an emotional response and not a logical one.
