Considering intelligence/stupidity isn't defined, it's a lot to assume that its distribution can be approximated by a Gaussian.

I don’t totally disagree, I’ve never seen an actual distribution of random iq scores

And there's plenty of criticism of IQ tests as a proxy for intelligence, even if we did have the data.
