    Never in my adult life have I taken a survey/test that would generate the statistics like this that we always see

    These are statistical models they aren’t asking everyone or anything even close. It’s based on random samplings and I found two of these one that operats at the international level another at the federal level

    There is an article about the later one’s results, it tested more than reading level. here

    These studies aren’t done by organizations that want to denigrate, they want to raise awareness and improve everyone’s reading levels.

    This and other articles are because it’s humans nature to make oneself feel superior to others but the reality is some of the people in this very thread may be classified as one of those in a sixth grade level. Statistically it’s all but certain.
