Breaking News: League of Legends Players Crowned Brainiacs in Gamer IQ Survey!
In an exciting revelation for the gaming community, a recent gamer IQ survey has declared that players of League of Legends are the brightest of the bunch, boasting an impressive average IQ of 120.4. This finding is a remarkable testament to the potential cognitive benefits of gaming, even if some critics might raise an eyebrow during intense multiplayer matches!
Conducted by WhichBingo, the survey assessed the intelligence of 1,002 players through a rigorous IQ test designed in collaboration with a team of psychologists. The test measured cognitive abilities across four key areas: verbal communication, mathematics, logic, and visual reasoning—skills that are undoubtedly at the heart of competitive gaming.
League of Legends emerged as the undisputed champion of this intellectual showdown with an impressive score of 120.4. Hot on its heels was the player base of the critically acclaimed single-player title Black Myth: Wukong, achieving an IQ of 119.8. Following closely, fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 secured third place with an average IQ of 117.9. Others in the top rankings include Counterattack at 116.1 and Elden Ring at 114.5. Notably, Valorant was absent from the study, which has left some players pondering their place in this intellectual hierarchy.
In stark contrast, players engaging in the FC24/FIFA23 titles found themselves at the bottom of the IQ ratings, recording an average score of just 89.8. To put things into perspective, an IQ score below 85 is considered below average, while scores ranging from 85 to 115 fall into the average category. A score above 115 is considered above average cognitive ability.
The survey also unveiled insights about gaming platforms, revealing that PC gamers lead the pack with an average IQ of 114.1. On the other end of the spectrum, players on mobile or tablet devices averaged a score of just 99.9. Additionally, console gamers reported varying IQ levels, with PlayStation users averaging 111, Xbox players at 105.9, and Nintendo Switch gamers at 103.4.
