    He’s not accurate, though. That’d be the median person. With the average person I’d expect much more than half to be stupider than that.

      Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency aka average. It’s usually context that indicates which measure we are using when we say average. A lot of the time, when speaking of the average person, we’re using the median or mode rather than the mean.
