RE: Top 100 earners ranked by steemiq.me (IQ)

in #steemit8 years ago

I think the SteemIQ tool can be a bit misleading. Some people would say that people who write with a "higher IQ" are smarter. But actually it takes real skill to write things simply.

The problem with using long sentences, long words and complex structures is... the majority of people switch off.

I think we should admire the people who have the "lowest IQ" scores of their writing because they have the widest appeal. Just a thought.

Good analysis here though. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure what it does to analyze it. It has 2 measurements, one for language complexity and the other for IQ. But in some cases the two seem unrelated. For example, if you take the top two you see that they have a big difference in language complexity:

@rok-sivante 133.4 / school grade 11.9
@cryptogee 133.3 / school grade 9.3

...so there has to be something else factored there.
