IQ is a test to correlate with performance in class and not life in general.

Thomas Edison once said that invention is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. So in that sense, IQ is only 1% of factors to succeed.

There are hundreds of breeds of dogs. All seem to have the same IQ. Though, some like Yorkie, some like lab, some like pitbull etc.

Their physical attributes are different.

An African kid may have more sudden explosive powers and endurance. That is why they dominate in sports such as the basket ball etc.

What was the name I forgot. He was a basket ball player and a politician graduated from an Ivy league school (Princeton). He was the contender for the democratic presidential candidate in 2000.

If you know the answer, your IQ is high.

If you do not know the answer, then your IQ is still the same.

IQ like everything else is only arbitrary within a defined context.

Right click on the link, select save target as, or save link as, or however your browser happens to word it, select a folder you can easily access later, download the file, then open it up in a .pdf viewer (check http://www.adobe.com for a free viewer).

Correct. Mensa is full of high school drop outs, and many of the richest people in the world have an average IQ.

If you know the answer, your IQ is high.

If you do not know the answer, then your IQ is still the same.

Memorization really has nothing to do with IQ. That's why there are usually no factual questions on an IQ test, like "Who was the 28th president of America?" If you know that it just proves that you have a good memory, not that you have a high IQ.

Actually, tests have revealed that different breeds of dogs have different levels of intelligence. I believe Border Collie was at the top and Poodle was at the bottom. It may have been Afghan Hound, tho, I forgot which.

The point is, tho, it's hard to test a dog's IQ because of a dog's unwillingness to take a test. You have to structure it such that the dog wants to pass the test (usually "get the food"), but has to use some thinking to do so.

Factors such as a dog's mood or demeanor may influence the outcome.

Greetings,

This thread is a new low for this forum.

I will not question the motivations for a paper such as this, but, there was a time when one of the original definitions for the word "economics" was: the determination of who gets what and why. That definition was buoyed by papers such as these and made the practice of inclusion/exclusion based on race acceptable and justifyable.

If you understand the game, there is nothing to flame.

7*, toldcha

It went the way it should have. Mickey, I am not sure what you mean by your post ("a new low"): if you read my posts before, then you know my motivation, and if you read all the other posts, then you see what everyone else posted. No flaming, no namecalling, none of that crap.

Sooner or later I'll start another thread about altruism or something similar. I was just testing the waters here, and to 7*'s surprise, it was all good

BTW: That article is bull$****. For reasons y'all already stated.
You can only imagine the media frenzy a similar study produced here a short while back. Like I said, the police were investigating it, that's how seriously people take stuff like that here. And they should.

OK, we'll talk more later

When a topic like this comes up there will always be the people who are too PC to discuss it. It sure would be a shame if to admit that one genetic line may have advantages over another in certain areas. Oh no! That's belittling someone's race! Uh-oh, you might hurt someone's feelings!

Hey all you PC'ers, can you at least admit that, genetically speaking, there's a difference between white and black people's skin colors?

[mickey]

Mika,

I did not say that as a statement about you. And please do notice that there was no emotional upset within my post. I simply shared my understanding about how papers like those were used. For me, there is nothing to flame.

But in consideration of the stupidness that has been going on at our forums in the form of personal attacks, it was badly timed.

Try February next time; or, even July 4th.

IronFist,

Those PC'ers should be busting their assiduities to agree with you.

I will share my observations based on years, and I mean years, of experience. I have amassed a research paper that is 2500 pages long. Unpublished because people cannot use it in their plan to include or exclude, to divert resources, nor to control the success or failure of a people.

Mika, please brace yourself in getting ready for this.

The difference between white skin and black skin:

One is deliciously vanilla; the other tasty chocolate.

As always, love conquers all.
