Average intelligence? How do you rate?

[Don_Kiddick]

50% of anything is below average, though the figure rises to 99% for Rotherham.

 

cheeky ****!

I believe that 'agility' and knowledge are impossible to separate. Ability can be cultivated through practice and learning in addition to the simple memorisation of facts - the skills assessed in an IQ test e.g. mental arithmetic, artistic / visualisation skills, diagrammatical interpretation and language skills are all codependent on knowledge and less precisely but with equal reality 'ability', both of which can be developed through learning processes. It's a fact that one can easily learn to be good at IQ tests with practice.

 

I'd define intelligence as a function of the ability to learn and the time spent learning (could come up with a more complete definition than this but not quite as briefly). Intelligence therefore varies throughout life for a single individual and requires both genetic and environmental contributors.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ? :hihi:

 

Oh well, this tickled me today anyway.

 

With regards to your question about what Joe Pleb see as the "real world", I think I will let you figure that out yourself. It took me a few years and weathered some storm to realise that one. So, be cruel to be kind. May the force be with you. V

I wish you luck.

Interesting results.

 

13.21% think that "No, it's not true and it's cruel to say that 50% are below average"

and

86.79 think that "Yes, 50% are as thick as a loaf of bread"

Apparently 50% of the population are below average intelligence.

 

It's an interesting statistic. Do you agree?

 

 

 

 

I'd like to see the results for emotional intelligence

[LeMaquis]

54 people voted and the thread is over 4 years old. It's also a stupid poll. It doesn't say whether the loaf of bread is sliced, wholemeal, or what.

I reckon it will be about half. You might think different.

[flamingjimmy]

You know if you get people to self report their own IQ it turns out that most of us are slightly above average.

 

Also, isn't it frowned upon to bump your own threads?

[johncocker]

I reckon it will be about half. You might think different.

 

 

 

 

I think they should be more emphasis on it in schools.

 

as for half ,some of the relationships I've seen or been involved in I"d say about zero:D

[WasThatWise]

50% are above, 50% below and the other 20% didn't take the test.

[Tony]

At the time of writing the poll reads

 

12.12% No, it's not true and it's cruel to say that 50% are below average

87.88% Yes, 50% are as thick as a loaf of bread

 

 

Has the average intelligence shifted?
