'Liberal' Hypocrites

[Guard Dog]

 

I've never understood how IQ tests are relevant to anything. IQ is supposed to represent and individuals capacity to learn. How is a test that is centered on acquired knowledge helpful in that? Stephen Hawking was born in an advanced country where he had the opportunity to receive and education suitable to his intellect. Suppose he had been born in Kenya to farmers? He would still be just as intelligent only there would be little opportunity to do anything with it. If you give Kenyan Stephen Hawking an IQ test that asks questions based on acquired knowledge he'd probably get an 85 too.

This is normally exactly what people say who dont have  a high IQ !!! GD dont be a hater 

 

Hey, I'm sure mine could boil water.... as long as we're using the right scale!

I dunno mate, tests I seen were more focused on logical thinking which doesn't mean 'acquiring knowledge' - its more a memory thing. IQ should be using this knowledge correctly. Reading a book (and remembering it) is acquiring knowledge. You can read whole math book and remember it, it doesn't mean you know math

It's been a while since I took one but I remember quite a few questions that would have required a more-than-basic understanding of math & language

Well, not these I remember, if you don't count numerical series for example. More of tests were pictograms and such

 I just tried to take one online. They ad-bombed every page then wanted $10 to e-mail me the result. I think just enduring the pop ups should be a 10 point penalty and actually sending them money should be a 20 point penalty!

[Meshugger]

Come to think of it, the only popular litterature on the subject is the Bell Curve, but i haven't ever gotten myself to read it though and i quite certain that it has gotten quite the critique.

 

On the other hand, claiming that different ethnic groups developed in different conditions in different parts of the world for millennia would have no effect whatsoever in their group mentality or behaviour and that political theories is the only solution is also preposterous. I am however unsure where the nature ends and nurture begins (see for example Thomas Sowell's research on early 20th century development among black, jews and other minorities. Different factors and potentials for each group and all that).

My personal experience with so called high IQ is other types of insights are needed to somehow make it meaningful ...and most so called high IQ people dont have those other insights

I was hoping for some phrenology charts.

Yes its a wikipedia article, but its sourced. The IQ differences are real, the debate is on the causes. Nutrition is a major factor, as maps of food security and average IQ are very similar, but at the same time there is a debate on whether socio economic status causes IQ differences, or the differences in status are a result of IQ.

There's a direct correlation between obsession with IQ and autism.

This story cant be true? 

 

Whats wrong with people,if  this story is true then the teachers or people who seriously said those things must get fired

Dont get this? I assume its  a joke ....

There's a direct correlation between obsession with IQ and autism being a smug, elitist prick.

 

Fix'd.

Come on, if you've had any conversation with the idiots who spam iq infographs and shout cuck every third word you know that they're suffering from some sort of mental illness and sexual frustration.

I have to admit that i'm obsessed with my IQ score...when i'm playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Yes this is the normal comment that someone makes who wishes they had a high  IQ, realizes they simply dont but then uses modern technology to distract himself 

[Meshugger]

I've met people with ridiculously high IQ. They seemed to be more obsessed with weird stuff, like using formal logic notation to prove the most efficient code written or dwelve into esotericism or metaphysics. Point being, they seem to be on their own plane of consciousness and not care about wordly stuff that much.

Why equate that with autism? Autism is a pretty wide spectrum of stuff...seems kinda silly to generalize like that when it really just boils down to idiots being idiots.

Because that triggers the alt-right the most.

Welp, that's it. Restart the experiment, we failed utterly. Women, get back into kitchen while we figure out what went wrong.

To be fair, lefties have been called communists or socialists as a killswitch to stifle open debate for ages now so i see it as a natural progression of the times for the right to experience the same. The "fun" part comes when we see groups of people unapologetic to their beliefs in either spectrum marching down the streets, because that's where we are heading.
