I'd be more apt to say that the intelligence level is higher. Some of the smartest people I've known in my life never even finished high school.

I think so. Whether formally educated or not, people on this site seem to have honed their thinking skills.

Sadly I only did 1 year in college.

I think if we aren't formally educated we've been educating ourselves and have some critical thinking skills.

I have a degree from the school of hard knocks and a masters in tom foolery my doctorate is in sarcasm.

I would suspect that even though the educational level could vary the ability to use critical thinking would be higher for sure.

Got us another one here usin' them big, high soundin' words again. Well I ain't gonna go lookin' 'em up.

For those interested, you can now see charts of question answer breakdowns (go to account/questions) page.

I hope so.

I would hope so

Knowledge is power.

True

Admin has the number but overall the group is pretty intelligent

Mixed-high school and up-check profiles to see.

The only thing I am sure about is what I don't know... And on any given day, that can be a lot.

Maybe you should make it a poll? I myself only have high school and a handful of classes from the local community college, unfortunately. Too much reordering of my life over the last 5 or years for me to have accomplished more yet, really.

Yes. See my comments under @Admin's post.

A formal education is not required to develop effective critical thinking skills. On the whole I would guess that the 'spread' on yrs of education is in conformity with the general population although unless a poll were taken, that would be just the guess. So far, in my opinion, from the posts I've read, most here are well above average intelligence.

Absolutely. The acquisition of true knowledge will lead to a loss of false superstition.

My formal education only goes as far as an associate degree. But I do spend a lot of my free time reading stuff, even occasionally course material from universities and such that's online. I like to think that I have a very good informal education

My IQ is high enough to not have to brag about it............

I do not care. It's what I put in and what I get out of here that matters.

One doesn't need well earned diplomas,degrees or phd's to have a " high level of education" good education is where ever one finds it in his/hers journey through this strange and astounding life!

You can lead a horse to water...
IQ says it all.
