I have no idea as I never asked anyone. But they get great grades in school (we are in the 12th grade atm, last year) all moving on to colleges, all play sports, go outside and all use forums daily. 2 of them are actually registered on this site. The point wasn't about IQ scores. The point was about having manners, using logic and not doing anything stupid. because at the end of the day if you use those 3 things online, you wont be a stupid poster. They cant speak for the entire country, but you cant as well.

IQ scores mean little to me personally. It's about how a person acts when he has the freedom of the Internet. The internet gives everyone a "mask" so to speak, And how people use that depends on the person and not on the entire country. I could bet you I would find just as many stupid people online in a Chinese/Japanese forum as a American forum. Nobody can speak for a entire country. People can only speak on behalf of themselves and state there views/opinions.

9 points is a fair amount on the I.Q. scale; it being roughly a 100 point scale that spans from about 50 to 150.
