I think your numbers are off by a good margin here. I landed at 144 on my last test, and that only places in the top 2%. I think the 99.9999 percentile would probably be more like 180+. There's usually only a handful of them in the world at a time. A group I used to be in had a specialized test for "super geniuses". They were ridiculous. I took a crack at it once, and I only got like 3 out of 30 correct.

The scale is defined as a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15, so 68% of the world falls between 85 and 115, 95% between 70 and 130, and 99.7% between 55 and 145. That means ~0.15% of people are above 145, which is clearly a lot more than 0.0001%.

People who prey on stupid people are generally not stupid themselves. He knows what he is doing and he isn't dumb for it, he's evil for it. He's at least 100 or higher imo.

Pretty much this.
