The Bell Curve: It looks a little like this.
And most human behavior can be charted on a curve like it. For example, IQ scores are like this: with the most people, (the highest part of the curve) being at 100. The curve goes down as we increase (or decrease) the IQ score so that at about 140 (or 60), we have a very low part of the curve (not many people).
A bell curve like this one works to explain things like the ability to hit a baseball, dance to hip-hop, etc.
The reason to understand this concept is that it often helps you understand what is going on. Is the big part of the curve right or wrong? Like the curve for how dangerous you think marijuana is… or gay marriage. Facts often do not cause the curve to move very quickly. But over time, the whole bell curve on those social issues moved and moved a lot.
On any project or issue, it is good to know where you are on the curve. Let’s say singing, for example. Maybe if you are out on the singing curve, where we had the 140 IQ people, maybe then you should spend more time on your singing ability. Conversely, if you are sitting on the middle of the curve, maybe it’s best if you enjoy other people’s singing.
Again and again, you will see this curve as it applies to you and as it applies to the people around you and the world in general.
