Bernkastel said: FloatingIdiot said: No, but maybe if your brain underwent evolution and you gained the ability to actually think logically, you would understand that in order to make your point you would have to change the statement to something like: "If you score high on an IQ test, that only means you have test-taking abilities and doesn't correlate with anything else" or something of that nature. As long as you admit psychometrics is actually useful, in fact, you yourself would even choose to use it, then this result is good enough for me. I'm not interested in all this semantic bending. Lol, you actually have the utter nerve to call me out for "semantic bending" after you pretended like you demonstrated me making a contradiction by creating one out of pure thin air? Wow, apparently "semantic bending" isn’t ok but logic bending is! Welcome to Bern’s world #FeelTheBern Do remember though: FloatingIdiot said: Judging people based on IQ scores leads to a subculture of toxic elitism. :^) Streaming classes with it is perfectly OK though. I agree with both of those statements. Next? |

DejWo said: It gets even funnier with... FloatingIdiot said: 4 people clearly have much lower IQ than me which is why they don't understand. If only they could spot patterns of boxes and circles better and faster, they would see that I am making more sense. Was the sarcasm lost on you, dear friend? |

Bernkastel said: TheBrainintheJar said: Another question: Is intelligence static? Something we're born with and it never changes? Or can it change as we grow up and switch environments? I may have missed, but what's your definition of 'intelligence'? Intelligence is not static, it can change, although genetic components still make up the majority. It would be absurd to deny environmental factors can impact intelligence, but the effect is not as high as people think it is. Personally I would define intelligence generally as the ability to most effectively process knowledge. A highly intelligent person would be able to solve a problem to the same level with less knowledge, and will be able to solve the problem to a higher level with equal knowledge. Why do you think genetics have a bigger influence? |

Hello3245 said: Bernkastel said: Just science really. If you look at twin studies, genetic tends to take the largest pie when it comes to intelligence. In fact, heritability of intelligence is comparable to heritability of height... And height is one of the most heritable polygene phenotypes. Sure if you're a picky eater you might not grow as tall as you should, but genetics really has the biggest say on the matter. Yeah. I'm so close to my dad physically and psychologically, that it's obvious intelligence is genetic. You don't even need to look at studies to know intelligence is genetic. lol @ 'you don't need to look at studies'. Anti-science, much? Bernkastal: Any studies you can link me that show this? |
