How Would You Have Felt If You Hadn’t Eaten Any Breakfast Yesterday Morning?

It’s a simple question, but the answer given can answer a complex question. It is said those with an IQ lower than 80 cannot answer adequately. They often respond “but I did eat breakfast yesterday morning” rather than imagine how they would have felt in the hypothetical scenario given. Hence, asking the question can work as a kind of impromptu IQ test.

Recently I found myself in a Twitter group chat with several homosexuals. I decided to test a variant of the breakfast question with interesting results, as follows:

Both of these homosexuals were unable to imagine a scenario in which they did not perform fellatio yesterday morning. Their lack of hypothetical thinking suggests each has an IQ lower than 80.

This tracks with international averages. Kareem Caliente comes from Lebanon where the average IQ is 83. Islam Vayntrub comes from Turkmenistan where the average IQ is also 83. This according to WorldData.info.
