If there were an accurate IQ test...

[TheHarshTruth]

If intelligence really could be tested for what would we discover?

 

[TheHarshTruth]

That I'm an idiot for spending time arguing on the internet.

 

[flaherty12]

the stanford-binet intelligence test was developed in france to see how well children would do in a school environment, there is also another test that measures real world intelligence, but i forget the name of it.

but those are only two types of intelligence.
what is smart?
did you know back in the seventies there were tons of minorities that were deemed mentally challenged that werent? they were deemed mentally challenged because they werent affluent in the english language, and culture.

so if you dont do well on an iq test, are you dumb?

If there were an accurate IQ test... what would we discover?

That there are many different types of intelligence and aptitude.

I'm an idiot

I vote other. I don't have to explain why, you did it for me. ~ Sgt Rock :rock

 

[Thelost1]

That people with higher degrees are idiots. They have been pulling the wool over the eyes of the more intelligent among us, and using excuses like "Outer Space", "Thermodynamics", and (here's the big one)"Gravity".

We should have listened to the Flat Earth Society when we had the chance.

That's why I said "if there were an accurate IQ test". There isn't such a thing. But it's fun to imagine something like it.

You forgot one...

"That people who make up polls with one-sided-only answers are idiots: "

Insert your circle to click on.

Dude, at least pretend that you have paid taxes while trying to feed/house/clothe a family (and care while you are doing so).

If intelligence could really be tested what would we discover? I don't think you really want to know. If you did, you wouldn't be a liberal. The truth hurts and life isn't kind or altruistic or tree-hugging or "war is bad". The intelligent (who don't quote the likes of long-dead Europeans) understand survival and what it takes to survive.

The idiots,the weak, the feeble minded, the tree-huggers...etc., think a group hug will solve everything. Or at least they think a really nice talk over a good cup of tea will get those fanatical idiots who want to take you, your mommy, your daddy, your born and your unborn out in one fell swoop. So, for the sake of reality and not "opinion", intelligence equals knowing that not everyone in the world gives a crap about singing Kum-ba-ya and passing the peace pipe for a drug induced few hours. Intelligence is about smelling the coffee and UNDERSTANDING that you cannot negotiate with religious fanatics who want to kill you and your mommy one minute after they FAKE agreeing with you. Grow up.

How old are you, anyway?

Intelligence is related to Kum-ba-ya singing.

I would like to do some other word association experiments with you.

Tests can be designed to get the results one wants.

A test to prove liberals are idiots, yes a test to prove this is possible. A test could be designed and only given to Liberals and prove Liberals are idiots.

A test to prove conservatives are idiots, yes a test like this is possible. A test could be designed and only given to conservatives and prove conservatives are idiots.

if they do come up with an accurate intelligence test, i wonder what it will be like

Am I the only one that found this clever? It is obvious, but that is what makes it witty...ahhh, oh well, you guys don't get **** in general.

Good one Mr. Lost.

If there were an ACCURATE IQ test?


I suppose I'd fail that one, too.

Thank you, these things just come to me when I'm wandering about in the jungle, unable to find my way...

Guess It's just a talent.

(Seriously, though, thanks and all, but it was a really bad joke.)

 

[The Mark]

Everyone who is truly smart would fail such a test.

 

[The Mark]

If there were an accurate test of the smarts, the intelligence, the knowledge, etc, etc, etc, that truly make a person superbly capable of meeting any situation and coming out of said situation in the best way possible, even if that way puts them behind where they were before said situation...........

I personally think that 99.999999999% (or more) of us humans would fail that test.

IMHO, this "IQ" you speak of is itself inaccurate......so how could you have an accurate IQ test?

Link, should anyone be interested.

That many politicians are idiots, especially American ones.
Patriots are idiots.
Conservative republicans are idiots.
That extreme religious people are idiots.
That the people of the US are idiots.
That more people with higher degree are idiots a than 9-5 workers..

Epsecially the Bush government.
Is a patriot not an idiot for being patriotic to his country rather than himself?
It will be proven that especially christian fundamentalist conservative republicans are idiots, this doesnt exclude conservatives.
People in the states thatn are not from urban norteast or urban west tend to be idiots more than others.

It would likely prove that 99.9% of the world's population were idiots.

Yes, it would.. Or at least 90%..

Did you know the average Asian tends to be far superior intellectually than his average American or European/westerner/white?

This is highlighted in the fact that Asians in Europe and America tend to perform better than their European and American counterparts.

That's because Asians are raised in a culture that promotes a stronger work ethic than Europe/America. It has nothing to do with intelligence. If you're claiming that Asians are more intelligent, then you'll need to show some evidence for your racist claims.

 

[Voidwar]

And what kind of genes are present within, and thus produced, that culture ?

BTW, as commentary on the overall thread, the initial question is flawed, as IQ tests are accurate.
