[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488648]I don't have much insecurities, and intelligence is certainly not one of them.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure its obvious that you do. You're so worried that people may regard you as stupid that you feel you must prove your intelligence to them. The second your intelligence is brought into question, the only other way you're able to make it seem like you're actually an intelligent person is to make it seem like everyone else in the room is stupid, hence pushing yourself above everyone else.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488681]Stop backseat moderating.[/QUOTE] You're not getting anywhere. Really. Get out.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488681]Stop backseat moderating.[/QUOTE] Hahahaha... Please, the door is over there.
[QUOTE=thirty9th;25488664]You're digging yourself deeper. You're the one blindly defending a theory and saying "nope" over and over.[/QUOTE] I will say nope until I will see a theory more detailed and accurate than the current one.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488681]Stop backseat moderating.[/QUOTE] good job on being a hypocrite
Sup, FreeThinker.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488695]I will say nope until I will see a theory more detailed and accurate than the current one.[/QUOTE] Do the research yourself.
[QUOTE=PoloXGS;25488718]Do the research yourself.[/QUOTE] Already did.
IQ= How good you are at test taking
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488681]Stop backseat moderating.[/QUOTE] Lord Jesus, I pray to you to exorcise the demon of stupidity inhabiting this man's earthly body so that he may see the error of his ways and repent. Amen. But really, you completely misunderstand the links between genetics + intelligence and how you mentally develop during adolescence. [QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488743]Already did.[/QUOTE] Then you did it wrong and should be flogged for your unabashed self-importance.

As much of an asshole the OP is, he's right. Intelligence is your cognitive ability. It has nothing to do with being knowledgeable.
[QUOTE=Loen;25488819]As much of an asshole the OP is, he's right. Intelligence is your cognitive ability. It has nothing to do with being knowledgeable.[/QUOTE] He's right [B]about that.[/B] [quote] Intelligence is very heritable. You're either born intelligent or not. There is NO WAY you can become intelligent if you were born normal or stupid, even if you read lots of books every day or compose puzzles.[/quote] This is not the way cognitive development works.
[QUOTE=Loen;25488819]As much of an asshole the OP is, he's right. Intelligence is your cognitive ability. It has nothing to do with being knowledgeable.[/QUOTE] Maybe this forum isn't so hopeless.
I like the part where the OP rated himself
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488840]Maybe this forum isn't so hopeless.[/QUOTE] [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3926654/herp.png[/img_thumb] Please agree with yourself more.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488583]Christians spreading stupidity when they hear about the theory of evolution is counter productive. [editline]18th October 2010[/editline] Yes, that's why those who are unable to speak from their birth are unfit for IQ testing.[/QUOTE] But it's not only during the early years of your life that your brains change. However you use your brain, it has an actual, physical effect on the brain itself. Thinking, memorizing etc. will change your brain. That's learning. You can learn to think abstractly, to visualize complex three-dimensional shapes and problems, you can learn vocabulary, you can learn languages, you can even learn to memorize things better. All of which would help you in an IQ test. All of it can be taught. None of it can be inherited.

[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488840]Maybe this forum isn't so hopeless.[/QUOTE] we're all hopeless because we don't agree with you

Only if the abilities are in proportion with each other the IQ score can be given.
Reminds me of smartness...

Completely out of the question whatsoever.
[QUOTE=kmlkmljkl;25488982]Reminds me of smartness...[/QUOTE] Reminds? You mean you've lost it?
Sure is people trying to seem smart in here.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;25489182]Sure is people trying to seem smart in here.[/QUOTE] Some don't need to try to seem smart, seeing their IQ scores.
[QUOTE=RayDark;25489085]Reminds? You mean you've lost it?[/QUOTE] It was a feature on fp before your time here.
[QUOTE=blacksam;25489229]It was a feature on fp before your time here.[/QUOTE] It was still here when he joined.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25489221]Some don't need to try to seem smart, seeing their IQ scores.[/QUOTE] IQ doesn't mean shit.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;25489275]IQ doesn't mean shit.[/QUOTE] Have fun reminding stupid neuropsychologists of this fact. They obviously aren't aware of the truth.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;25489275]IQ doesn't mean shit.[/QUOTE] we already discussed almost 3 pages about this but he keeps saying that we are wrong because we haven't written a better theory
