An intelligent person feels the same with people of average intelligence



If you think it's painful because the people with lower IQ don't "get" whatever you are trying to explain, use your superior brain power to break it down in a way that anyone can understand. Make analogies, be creative, put it in terms that the person you are talking to can wrap their tiny little head around. If you get good at this, suddenly you have a very useful and very profitable skill. If you can't do that, perhaps you're not as smart as you think you are. If you meant it in a way that you just don't enjoy the company of all people with an IQ under 130, which is the vast majority of the world's population, the problem might be you.

i'd imagine most of the annoyance isn't so much that others don't get what the smart people are saying, but rather that dumb people incessantly talk about banal horseshit... leaving smart people with the choice of being assholes or bored out of their fucking skulls.

Could also be that they are mature and just get sick of listening to people who think they are smart sucking their own cocks all day too.
 
I am all for separating kids by intelligence/competence at a young age in schooling.

The reason for that is, classes right now are taught to the average level of intelligence, which means both the people on the high end and the low end are getting the short stick. The people on the low end are perpetually struggling and learn to hate school, while if they were being taught at a slower pace they would be much more likely to be good at it and stick with it. The people on the high end are perpetually bored, and would probably excel more and be more interested in education if they were challenged from a young age instead of just bs'ing their way through.

Schools already do this in high school (and sometimes even middle school) so I don't really view it as that controversial of an opinion.

yes, i'm sure People magazine readers are all just rhodes scholars looking for a brief diversion from smart world, ducking into daytime TV for a break from the storm of smart people out there shouting their smartness from the the rooftops.

The problem with today's schooling is its an old system and its about time schooling evolved. Some people are researchers and others need to paint the sixteen chapels.
It not about separating people by smartest, smart, and dumb using today's standard school/test grading system. Its about finding individual qualities and expanding on them. Creating a learning system that fits you better.

Seriously fuck off. I had to learn English After 15; oh you didn't know I speak and write in 3. English was my last and can be a little rusty at times.

And I come from an educated family. My mother happened to teach chemistry at a university back in Russia. I just dont give a shit about that unlike some people.

You completely missed my idea about making education more effective for all. Thats how most people think today in the system.
I can write well, but I got nothing to say.


Go sell some links.
 

Uh.....51 triangles right?

I counted them once, twice, and then thrice!!

Lulz



BTW, I once heard it said that.......

The "Average" person hits a target about 50% of the time.

A "Gifted" person hits a target about 80% of the time.

A "Genius" hits a target that NO ONE ELSE even knows exists!!!


LOL



I tend to hold on to this though, "GENIUS is 10% Inspiration and 90% Perspiration!!"

I'm just joking, mayne! Seriously. You have my respect for learning three languages. I've only been able to partially learn a second one, and have retained very little of it.
 
A person with a high IQ would/should know that IQ scoring is subjective, not only in regards to testing method and scoring system, but also to race and gender, and that as a whole the IQ concept suffers from significant cultural bias.

Damn you. I figured you were trolling after. Fucking human emotions.
Now I feel like a dick. Dont take it the wrong way I can get passionate sometimes.

BTW its much easier to learn before 10-13 years of age. If you got kids just start early; its really nothing special. In Russia I had to pick German, English, or French in elementary school.

Yeah, learned Russian and English at that time pretty quickly, but later was learning German for 3 years and still can barely understand anything.

most high school teachers can hardly balance a checkbook. college professors aren't in it to teach jackshit, they're in it to publish and get tenure. i agree that "creating a learning system that fits you better" is nice, but there is no normal system close to being able/willing to do that... and i can't see any potential for change.
 
I'm just glad there are some people like Ken Robinson talking it.
Anybody with a little passion for education give him a go: see what you think.

there are culture neutral tests, too

One week after the OP admitted his post was fake this thread is still going strong. IQ is a very touchy subject, and will continue to be so as intellectual ability gains preeminence in today's increasingly technological and productivity driven society. As for what particular abilities IQ is supposed to measure, or the predictive value of the score itself on future academic or career success is subject to debate. For example, to enlist in the military you need to score in the top 31 percentile on AFQT (essentially an IQ test), yet 66% of Hispanic high school graduates are unable to do so. So apparently a lot of people are still smart enough to complete high school yet too dull to join the military. So is the test accurately measuring what it's supposed to? And even if the test does measure a skill accurately, is this indicative of real world performance?
