There will never be agreement or reconciliation because of the deepness of the entrenched opinions. Each side, in their own minds, will be proved 'right', because of confirmation bias.

Stive Pesley Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Don't get me wrong - I think there is always value in listening to what Dentist#10 has to say But we now live in have a world where people will waste hours of their life berating people who have listened to Dentist#10 and dismissed his views as sensationalist grifting garbage GboroRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your quite right , I’ve seen posts from people who seem to have a reasonable IQ and you just have to knock at the very least 50 points off when you see abuse aimed at other posters , abuse aimed at women , death or serious illness wished on others , either that or IQ means bugger all in real life ??♂️ Edited February 13, 2022 by Archied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally it is only resorted to in lieu of any actual achievements. Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked me to explain his self assessment calculation to him . Simple as you like and he just couldn't get it. My uncle was diagnosed with a mild form of epilepsy that was causing blackouts and worked on scaffolding. The consultant couldn't understand why he was asking about whether he should be concerned working 200 foot up in the air on a regular basis. In my experience super brain at some things seems to switch off any common sense at others. Almost like the brain won't cope with both.

Where many fall down is their reliability on linguistic skills. Intelligence does not necessarily mean being a 'good' person, neither does it mean that you are learned, clever, successful or skilful. Hitler's IQ was reputedly around 140, Napoleon estimated at around 145. Mensa accepts members whose IQ is within the top 2% of the population, which is around 130.
