This may not be suitable for BMW or Land Rover owners, but data obtained from an intelligence quoting (IQ) research test suggests, you’re not the smartest person around, based on what you drive. Yes, and the argument for that is made through the statistics presented in a UK study.
Now, before you take out a sledgehammer or ax and head this way – or any direction, consider a little bit of the science being presented, and if you think after that it’s all a hoax. , feel free to disagree.
So here’s the angle of that particular dangling – have heard enough of the term “stupid driver”, folk on the UK website Compare scrap cars curious whether the type of car a person drives actually correlates with a person’s intelligence level.
That curiosity evolved into a formal research exercise to find out, after which the company invited more than 2,000 British drivers to take a standardized IQ test, ranking them based on their intelligence scores. regarding their car brands, which found for 22 brands. has been recorded. Powertrain type, vehicle color, and even personalization subsets are grouped and defined.
The smartest pants? Skodas riders, as they topped the IQ test with an average score of 99. Suzuki owners are not far behind (98.09), the rest of the top 5 includes Peugeot (97.79), Mini (97.41) and Mazda (95.91) owners.
At the other end of the scale are BMW (91.68) and Fiat (90.14) drivers, with those falling behind are Land Rover drivers who haven’t even reached 90, with a score of 90. average is 88.58. Hafriz Shah, who has two Range Rovers, strongly disagrees with these findings, although it has been pointed out that a Range Rover is not quite a Land Rover, even if they come from the same tree. All right, we’ll give you a score of 90, sir.
The test also revealed that petrol car drivers had the highest average IQ scores (94.35), ahead of owners of hybrids (93.89) and diesels (92.91), with those electric vehicles (EVs) have the least spark, lagging significantly behind with 90.19 points.
As for exterior colors, white (95.71) leads the palette, ahead of gray (94.97) and red (94.88, yay). Of the seven colors sampled in the study, green died in last place at 88.43. The study also found that people with individual number plates were less intelligent than those without. So if you happen to be driving a green all-electric BMW with a personalized number plate, we have news for you.
