You don't need a low IQ to be an idiot.

As a matter of fact, this word is misleading.

An idiot is a psychological term representing the results that were measured by standardized intelligence tests.

Those tests are now being questioned because they do not necessarily represent the range of intelligence demonstrated by the range of people in any given society.

There are many articles about issues relating to low apparent intelligence, such as the idiot savant. The ISBI concept is based on the understanding that you don't have to be stupid, and that you don't have to have low intelligence, in order to be an idiot.

ISBI means that people in positions of authority, or those with higher academic degrees, can be idiots as well. Those people may have been blessed with a certain level of intelligence, but they are idiots.

The writer of this website would never degrade a person who has low intelligence. However, a person with normal intelligence who does foolish things is certainly deserving of public jeering. That is what this ISBI section, is about.

It's for people who should know better.
