There is a lot to say about wisdom. Not so much about a high iq. Do you agree? If not pls leave some detail as to why you don't agree.
IQ test is pretty much a joke because it is equated on a standardized curriculum. Give a mechanic a toolbox that is a high school drop out and they will repair an 80,000$ Jaguar. You could give a doctor a wrench and they in most cases would prop the door open with it. My point is common sense in every case outweighs book smarts.
...and i put this in silly, random & fun yet for the most part I got serious responses.. All good. Seems ppl that are smarter than others, in one or more areas, trigger ppl more than ppl with wisdom. Thats what I just gathered from reading the comments. But ppl are ppl and i might be reading nothing but emotionless facts. I think age grants wisdom and a high iq...maybe i miss typed this but for lack of better words... quick thinkers are looked down upon cause it took the ppl with wisdom more time to get to the same thought. Its all relative and ppl can be both and eventualy have both. Sorry my words and meanings are different for some. For the most part here in the bibble belt ppl understand iq as a way to spell out smart. Or for a more simplified way of saying someone is smarter than another. This post was a seed. I wanted to see some wit. There is not a lot to say about having a high threshold for retaining information cause it will take the wisdom of age to detail how it happened and why it is or has happened. Wisdom is the story of how they got that iq. Iq was just the sentence they remembered. ?
Is is possible to have wisdom with a low I.Q.? I do not wish to get into a debate about what I.Q. does or does not actually represent or measure...it has become the default measure of intelligence in our society in any event.
It seems to me that a certain level of I.Q. is necessary to be smart enough to determine if something is "wise" or not.
Thinking about it, it occurs to me that a person's ability to make wise determinations/decisions would also be dependent upon the quality of their experiences and education (simulated rather than actual experiences).
That would be some spiritual stuff if you had wisdom before you have had a chance to learn anything. ?...reminds me of those stories about ppl waking up from a comma speaking latin..
For those who'd like to learn more about this topic I highly recommend Seeking Wisdom by Peter Bevelin.
Look this up and respond to what I am about to tell you. The IQ test which I believe to be the Stanford Binet of Question. Alfred Binet who invented the test was to calculate Mental Retardation and nothing else. Scope or Fact Check it and then wipe your self with it because its true There is no testing ever available that measures genius.
Any testing of any kind is racially, bigoted, misogynist deferments invented by the wealthy to exclude everyone of race color or economic disadvantage off the page.
Ever sense we invented the measurement of time there has always been a measurement for everything. The details might be lacking but after we understood aging; the limit for things fell into a space for measurement.
The only thing holding anyone back is bad dna. I myself have a lot of it. Which is the most limiting feature when it comes to understanding.
Do I detect a hint of anger at testing? I know i'm not the brightest bulb but wouldn't you want to hire the best electrician to wire your house. Do you not fact check things to see what is better? Tests are necessary. Awards and such are things we need to see so we know we are limited to what we are and we don't have idiots running around thinking they are gods.
Sorry. I don't need to look that up. Its not what you understood that I meant it to be. I too misunderstand things when i'm not from the other persons state... or background... what ever else
...so in your understanding iq is the measure of how mentally slow or rather β¦.. there threshold for understand is.... so when ppl say iq .. that's what you understand as low iq? This sorta feels like the messed up Christian bibble. was satan really the good guy or is god.... hows this getting flip flopped....history.... ah yes history. When I think about history I picture tons of wires that have gotten knotted up but when you try to find the ends theres only 2 and not what looks like could be million more. Just point a to b. but all everyone sees is the middle... all the cluster of twists messed up together...
People with high IQs are often socially clueless..not as much from ignorance, but from lack of interest.
They're mostly too busy pursuing their obsessions, making inventions, directing movies, writing books, etc., to care much about social niceties.
Many of them are downright rude, crude, and lewd-not nice people to interact with socially.
