An IQ survey for Australian and New Zealand job finding agency The Job Factory found that Kanye West fans had a lower IQ than fans of every other singer or group in the study. The same test revealed that Taylor Swift fans are smarter than Kanye West fans.

And here’s a topper:

The survey found that the average IQ of Kanye West fans was 84, at the very low side of normal on the IQ scale. The average IQ in Australia and the USA is 98. In the UK it is 100. The survey found that while West does have many fans with high IQs, on average, his fans are among the least intelligent. SCORE WHAT THE RESULTS MEAN 40 – 54 Severely challenged (Less than 1% of test takers) 55 – 69 Challenged (2.3% of test takers) 70 – 84 Below average 85 – 114 Average (68% of test takers) 115 – 129 Above average 130 – 144 Gifted (2.3% of test takers) 145 – 159 Genius (Less than 1% of test takers) 160 – 175 Extraordinary genius The survey of 498 former clients of The Job Factory involved asking the same 25 IQ questions to all participants. At the end of the survey, the job seekers were asked to nominate their favorite singer or group from of a list of 10.

Background

Modern IQ testing stems from the work of psychologist Henry Goddard. The test was used to test basic intellectual functions in school children and to support mental health diagnoses.

Goddard controversially argued that adults with low IQs shouldn’t procreate.
