No, and studies show that your IQ fluctuates from day to day, so you can never really get an accurate read. Besides, you can't measure a person' s intelligence simply based on one test. All the IQ test measures is how well you are at taking the IQ test. It's that simple, and it's absolutely wrong for anyone to make fun of you because of that.

Not for having a low IQ. But try not to advertise that information, either on purpose or by doing things like just not paying attention, or not thinking before you talk, or opening your mouth when you might be better off keeping it shut. Unless you don't mind people making fun of you for having a low IQ. Try to find ways to make up for it, like by making lists, writing notes, continuing to learn as much as you can. And anyway, your IQ score has nothing to do with your value as a human being. Some of the greatest people I know have very low IQ scores. It's about character, integrity, caring for others, and doing the best with whatever you have.

No, because it's not your fault.
If you had a high IQ and acted like you had a lesser IQ, then I think that people could make fun of you.
If you eat a lot of fish try stopping because fish contains a lot of mercury that believe it or not lowers IQs. Ask you mother if she ate a lot of fish when you were being breastfed or when she was pregnant with you.
Its estimated that almost $9 billion dollars a lost every year in the US due to peoples IQ levels which have been stunted by mercury intake.
But don't be worried, "intelligence" isn't everything. I think that personality is a lot more important and im sure yours is great!

It shouldn't be acceptable, but the way today's society is, it is the norm to make fun of anyone. Does not matter whether it is low I.Q., the way you dress, your physique, or any other thing, people tend to make fun of other people to hide their own shortcomings. You need to stop worrying about what others say and just live your life to the best of your ability. Enjoy what you have, and all the rest will come to you.

It's never acceptable to make fun of anyone, no matter how high or low their IQ is.

Perhaps your IQ is higher than you can now imagine!
May I tell you this. My IQ has been measured more than once.
They tell me it is at least 135 or above. It means nothing!
What really counts is what is in your heart and in your soul!
I think the HQ and the SQ are what really count!

Not because of your low IQ, though because you advertise it like that yes it is.

'Acceptable'? Acceptable to who? To you? I don't know, is it? Doesn't it depend on who is being asked? Perhaps you imagine that acceptability is an absolute. It's not. It's a value judgement. Is it EVER acceptable to make fun of someone? If so, when? And again, who gets to define 'acceptable'?

Our brains all work differently. My sister has a phd in molecular biology. She reads up constantly on things. But when it comes to common sense.........WOW she's lost. You're fine. Don't worry about test scores. If you can function in everyday life then your fine.

Well you sorta opened the door to that, lol. But i really doubt that your as dumb as you want folks to think. You ever heard the saying "crazy like a fox". I think you want folks to under estimate you.
