I know I'm three pages late to the party, but trying to use science as a ground to stand upon whether something is correct, or not, is hardly a solid argument when it comes to theories.
You have to remember, only a few decades back, [i]science[/i] thought that blacks were less intelligent because of the way their brain was shaped. Go a few hundred years back, and we though bees were actually tiny birds.
Science is never a definite. Definitions change. Granted, things like chemistry have a much better foundation than our understanding of the human mind; but you need to stop cowering behind this defense of "[i]This is [u]science[/u] and therefore, if you don't believe or follow it, you're wrong.[/i]"
I love how all the agrees the OP has gotten since the middle of page 2 have all been by him.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25489300]Have fun reminding stupid neuropsychologists of this fact. They obviously aren't aware of the truth.[/QUOTE]
You're not smart because you have a high IQ, your IQ is high because you're smart(and I'm using 'you're' in a general sense; god help the person who wouldn't when talking to you).
The IQ is just the ruler you use to measure your cognitive penis.
Schools, businesses and universities, wake up! There's a huge conspiracy by neuropsychologists to force the stupid and unverified concept of IQ on you!
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488648]I don't have much insecurities, and intelligence is certainly not one of them.[/QUOTE]
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect]i believe in the dunning-kruger effect and that post is a really nice example of it[/url]
Guys, IQ is made up by the government and if you believe in it you're going to hell.
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25488971]No, no and no
The only skill which can be developed is working memory index, and this one wouldn't be counted in the IQ calculation if it isn't well-correlated with your other abilities. Only if the abilities are in proportion with each other the IQ score can be given.[/QUOTE]
What if I dug up some studies, would you keep blatantly denying them
[QUOTE=Glorious leader;25489387]Schools, businesses and universities, wake up! There's a huge conspiracy by neuropsychologists to force the stupid and unverified concept of IQ on you![/QUOTE]
so basically you say the theory is correct because professors say so?
[QUOTE=ThePuska;25489436]What if I dug up some studies, would you keep blatantly denying them[/QUOTE]
Yes, he would. Why would you even bother asking?
[QUOTE=ThePuska;25489436]What if I dug up some studies, would you keep blatantly denying them[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't unless they don't respect the scientific method.

Well, I don't anymore. You guys have reminded me of how stupid the theory of evolution and gravity is. I'm going to church now to tell my sins to Jesus.

You don't understand how quickly you would be completely destroyed if you were teleported into the center of VY Canis Majoris.
Intelligence is the ability to comprehend.
Etymologically it comes from the latin word intellegere, which means comprehending.
Therefor bragging on the internet about how good you are at maths, does not prove any kind of intelligence, because it does not prove any kind of comprehension. For all we know you're just copying wikipedia just like most of the "smart" people on this forum.
Truely enjoying a Kafka-novell, on the other hand, or solving a mathemathical problem, would be intelligent.

You don't understand how stupid the theory of evolution is. I mean, these stupid scientists think that we somehow come from monkeys while no monkeys have turned into a human and they also believe that everything came from nothing that exploded. Makes perfect fucking sense.

I don't even understand whether or not this entire page's worth of posts by you can even be considered strawmen anymore. Your representation of us as anti-semetic young earth creationists is about 3-4 cuils away from reality.
