Well you are black. It's your prerogative to deny IQ tests or any tests because they all show your people at the bottom. Of course you don't want to believe in it.Paloaltoguy wrote:Aha, IQ tests are very incomplete measure of intelligence. It completely fails to measure creativity which is arguably the most important form of intelligence. As for Jews being the smartest people, just read an interesting article about The Collapse of Jewish Academic Achievement:Zionosis wrote:I agree. But I don't think that Persians are the second smartest. East Asians and Mediterraneans and North Europeans are all more intelligent. Let's just agree to disagree on that one.Jester wrote:This is how I see it also.Zionosis wrote:
Knowledge is also not that important if the person can't understand it but just repeats it. Understanding requires intelligence.
Intelligence is the most important thing. I want a woman with understanding and her own brain.
She has to listen, and take in my words, really hearing them. She has to consider, to think about, to understand.
I could care less about the coursework she's had.
Re nationalities, my impression is that Jews are the smartest, Persians and Armenians second, Koreans third, Whites next, other Middle Eastern next.
Filipinas and Latinas are from cultures that do not teach foresight, period. BUT, though they may not show off and SOUND smart, but as long as they are LISTENING and OBSERVING, that's the kind of smart I need. Intuition, not knowledge.
All other things being equal (feminine, slender, attractive, obedient), then I want as much intuitive-intelligence as I can get. Less I have to explain to her... better teammate.
IQ tests do measure real intelligence and the east Asians ace them above anyone. You can't get a high IQ from just gaining knowledge. You have to have reasoning and logic to score high on these tests.
East Asians even though shorter typically have larger craniums and slightly larger brains than a white man. A white man is shorter than an African but the white man also has a large cranium and bigger brain than the black man.
But I notice a difference in sexes. I notice that with east Asians the women are smart also and do good in science and math classes.
With white people though it seems the females lack logic or the ability to understand these things. Some can but they seem to be in a real minority. Most seem to be totally incapable.

I studied a variety of subjects from Philosophy to Computer Science. These days, most academic achievement is based on tedious trial and error shit. Most math geeks are really stupid. A *single* math problem is easy, break it down into little pieces and group the variables, pull up a few math functions and viola = input + transformation = output ... that is every math operation ever done in a few symbols and abstract words. Oh look, that's every computer program too. Science is just remembering a bunch of shit. Philosophy is the only subject has you thinking.
But IQ tests are legit and used for a reason. They test your intelligence and ability to grasp concepts and test your memory also. If you fail on them then you simply are not that intelligent and that's why you see most smart people in history score high on these tests.
You are talking about philosophy but intelligent philosophy still requires a good brain to ponder these things.
Your brains potential is dependent upon the brain you are born with. That's just a medical fact. Some people are born smarter. Just as other people are born more gifted in other parts of their physical body like runners.
IQ tests are designed to measure in essence your born potential and try to not measure just knowledge you have gained.
Input + transformation = output? WTF. You say that explains all maths and science. Clearly you don't understand much of science or maths.
Clearly you don't know much about science because if you did you would realize how deep it is and how even subjects just like electricity are complex and still have many areas that aren't fully understood yet.
Every element in the universe was once Hydrogen also. Does that mean that science/maths/thinking is just Hydrogen? Of course not that is retarded. You can break anything down into something simple but understanding it in it's complex state is precisely what science and forward progression is about.
Also IQ tests measure intelligence very correctly. If you score low and don't understand things then sorry but you are unintelligent. IQ tests test intelligence with only the need of basic knowledge.
Example.
1. "If some Smaugs are Thors and some Thors are Thrains, then some Smaugs are definitely Thrains."
This statement is: TRUE - FALSE
2. Jack is taller than Peter, and Bill is shorter than Jack.
Which of the following statements would be most accurate?
(A) Bill is taller than Peter.
(B) Bill is shorter than Peter.
(C) Bill is as tall as Peter.
(D) It is impossible to tell whether Bill or Peter is taller.
3. Which number should come next in this series?
25,24,22,19,15

These tests are testing your born intelligence because they don't use things like acquired knowledge (except for basic reading and counting skills) and if anyone can't understand them then they are simply unintelligent. If you can't grasp the basic understanding of them then you are a just of lesser intelligence.
Or if someone can get them but it takes them longer than normal then they are still of lesser intelligence than someone who can understand them quickly.
You will notice that out a a group of fresh kids even at school that some just are able to pick new things up quicker than others. It's because of intelligence differences between individuals.
