What always strikes me as funny as well, is the fact that these individuals almost never seem to comprehend that the various rubrics and tools used to measure IQ are NOT THE ALMIGHTY WORD OF ZEUS FROM THE MAGICAL MOUNTAIN. There are so many forms of intelligence and as someone who has worked with children for years now, some of the "slowest" kids according to the idiot teachers are some of the most perceptive and razor sharp.
But, I guess it's easier for folks like Chrissy Chase Rachels to publish articles about blacks being "proto-humans" and pretend that property and self-ownership do not apply to all.
Glad you've written this, Larken. Thanks.
I agree; IQ has almost fck all to do with true intelligence. I wrote a post on this subject a little while back. https://steemit.com/life/@mckeever/intellect-emapthy-true-intelligence
Killer article! Loved it. Couldn’t agree more.
It's a interesting post sir, ! Very good.
...you use MLK as a model for exhibiting the 'intelligent' argument?
...Someone that plagiarizes his way through to gain his degrees ...
(Not to be confused with great charisma.. he had more in his little finger than I have in my whole body..)
But yes I agree - intellect and intelligence are worlds apart.
IQ is not the same as intellect.
And while you may not be able to correlate precisely IQ/ intelligence, you can use the comparison that while you might be a world class basketball player at 4'9" if you have natural talent - - if you are 7' 3" withthe same natural talent ...the chances are, you will be more successful in that sport...
And so it is with IQ and intelligence (not intellect in the slightest)
(IQ is not a good tool on individual analysis, but on group trends and how it presents within a genetic sample.)
What other scientific metric would you use?
Isn't this in support of using IQ as a metric, then? - or just pointing out how stupid the teachers are? lol
The teachers were definitely stupid in that regard! For once, we agree.
😂😂...don't hold your breath!
I'm being supertrolled by an especially rabid one now. He just searches for posts on anarchy, talks shit and when explained basics of logic, he isn't having it. I will start a sect and make him my top priest. Sect "think for yourself"where I will order these morons to be and let be :D
