High, but not particularly rare. IF you see a movie, there are probably several people >130 in the audience with you. When you filter by education and other factors, it goes up quickly. Depending on your line of work, a majority of your coworkers might be over 130.

Very few people understand this. It's why it's very hard to understand how normal people think wrt politics.

While "normal people" often have crude political opinions, the stupidest political takes often (usually?) come from high IQ, well educated, people.

And among those are also the ones with real influence and power to promote and/or enforce them.

The road to hell is paved with smart people who think they can become experts in something just by reading some blog posts and thinking about the subject for a few hours. As one example, see successful poker players who become amateur economists, geneticists and virologists.
