IQ and Race

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.

Dude... that test is lame. Why? Cos people call it "inteligence" test.
Well, its not an inteligent test -> it is an obediance and willingness to follow work orders test

Does anyone else hate .pdf files on the web?

I saw a talk that Tim Berners-Lee ( http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ ) gave at the Python 2003 conference in DC, and he wanted to make RTF files on the web and web everything, communicating everything. At least PDF files are supported easily on pretty much every platform and OS.

The problem is having a document with all those document abilities in a portable format. Now if only people would use OpenOffice ( http://openoffice.org ) instead of Microsoft Office suite, then it would really be nice

I havn't had any interest in reading either this thread or the article although I might later.

Someone posted that blacks dominate sports in America? Well that doesn't mean blacks are better at sport. Look who won the world championschip in basketball - the Yugoslavians. Which country aside from USA took most gold medals in the Olympics? Japan and Russia. So there, that's represtentatives from basically all races on the earth.

It wasn't an obedience test. They had to dogs do some problem solving and stuff to see what they could do and how they did compared to other dogs given the same problem.

dude, the test of the dude Stanley Coren is test of "Inteligence of Obedience and Work" - note im translating this from what i got in portuguese from an article based on what the dude did so if you find in english the terms might be lil diferent.

"Graduations from 1 to 10 - Corespondent ot the best dogs in terms of inteligence and obedience for work. Most of the dogs of this races start to show signs of comprehension of simple comands after 5 repetitions and dont need too much pratice to keep this comands..."

And so on, aight?

Mickey, OK, gotcha. Timing could have been better, you're right. But I actually wanted to take some attention of the presidential elections as that thread is starting to get a little personal. Then again, this could get even more personal, but somehow I trust these guys more than that, so I think the "new low" was a little premature. But I might have to take that back. But I doubt it

At any rate, that study was 2000, here's the same guy 2002. Notice the slightly changed tone?
