[SERIOUS] Clever fools: Why a high IQ doesn't mean you're smart

[loinburger]

Regardless, please return to the original topic, folks. I believe KH and loin were ridiculing my beliefs wrt to IQ?

I've moved on to debating the merits of the FelchTest™.

maybe i'm just an idealist but i'd hope that a forum full of adults wouldn't need a tag to tell them when a thread isn't for spamming or trollinng.

According to AAHZ's profile he is 31 years old, which is all I have to say to the notion that a forum full of adults is capable of behaving itself.

Forget AAHZ and get back on topic, please. Otherwise I'll do the ol' splice the thread into on topic posts and off topic posts, and then send the off topic ones to the Closed Thread forum. And nobody wants that.

[Skanky Burns]

Someone else that had no clue to what actually happened. Somehow I'm not surprised.

Considering any threads on what actually happened have been closed, its not surprising at all that people don't know.

Why ridicule your beliefs when we can directly ridicule your IQ...

I, for one, do. Especially since Cro-Magnon man just showed up.

I would like to point out that Lori ABUSED HIS POWERS by editing this thread name.

Worse still HE MADE IT MISLEADING.

This is far from a serious thread.

I am infuriated!

[Lorizael]

Blame JM.

Intelligence is far too complex and multi-dimensional to be measured by something as stupid as IQ, which is merely a measure of the ability to do IQ tests.

Having gone to a variety of institutions filled with individuals who had scored rather high in a variety of tests that have already been mentioned as in the same category and serving the same function as an IQ test, I can honestly say I met many very dim people in those schools. Fine, not as dim as perhaps in other schools, but still capable of saying and doing incredibly stupid things.

I think this site is actually a rather good example of Lori's point.

Blame JM.

Is JM your mother? Why did JM call you Lori?

That is demonstrably false.

Additionally, as has been pointed out several times in this thread, IQ is the best measurement of our general idea of "intelligence" available.

My intelligence can only be measured for 0.0000001sec in a LHC through x-ray glasses from space.

[SlowwHand]

in a LHC

Wouldn't that be an LHC?

[Drake Tungsten]

I think it's time for another KH intelligence rating thread.

[Drake Tungsten]

It will be difficult, as I have little experience with your posting. However:
