Negative IQ is interesting
Would it mean that you make other people more stupid? Being an IQ sink.

The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

All you have to do is to set the average IQ level to zero, and then all people with lower IQ has negative values as result.
It's a matter of definition of the reference number. The number 100 can be considered as an offset value.
btw. I never participated at an official IQ test, but I took an unofficial one and achieved 138 as result.

If you define zero IQ = no IQ at all then negative values are meaningless, but thats a different definition.
It's much like the definition of a temperature scale. Set 0 and 100 as numbers for observable temperatures that make sense to people in reality,
e.g. freezing point and boiling point of water, then you get the Celcius temperature scale.
Yes, it's a number used by a mathematician named Graham. It's a sooooo unbelieable huge number, it blows every imagination.
10 to the power of negative Graham's number is a number soo unimaginable tiny... it's not zero, but in reality it can be regarded as zero.
