Interesting... so who is lacking then?

1: The scientificos who are baffled and seek clarification from the Aborigines?
2: The Aborigines who aren't baffled but don't discuss in a way the scientificos can clarify?

It does not asy any of them are lacking. In that case the only pewople who are lacking are the ones whi are suffering due to the lack of the info the scientist is trying to discover.

Re: What makes you intelligent?

I think I have an IQ of 146, based on a "You're not reaching your potential" rant by my mother when I was 14 but I don't recall any testing.

BP, your comments are cracking me up! I wouldn't take the test again cuz what others think about my intelligence means absolutely nothing to me, so no need to join a group of "wicked smaaaht people." I'm just glad I got a little of the common sense part!

I used to wait tables in a world famous scientific community, and wait staff would listen to long-winded discussions about how seasonal ocean currents affect the mating habits of lobsters by people who couldn't seem to match their socks or come out of the rain. All that brilliance could have been lost just by them forgetting to look both ways before they crossed the street.

You're right. The baffled group and their countrymen would be lacking... The information/solution sought that is.

Re: What makes you intelligent?

that statement about them not being able to discuss it is a lie. The question is who is willing to listen instead of dismissing their understanding as babbling from a bunch of natives.

This comes back to intelligence isn't it? To rationalize. Maybe it is embarrassing for a bunch of white coats to say they got the information/solution from the naked 'stupid' people running around in the bush.

Re: What makes you intelligent?

intelligence quotient (IQ)

A number meant to measure intelligence. Once the standard measure of human mental capacity; now widely considered to be neither accurate nor fair. Controversy exists today over the effect of race and class on scores and whether IQ tests really measure intelligence. Tests of special aptitudes and personality factors are now favored over the pure intelligence test.

Note: The IQ was originally calculated using the ratio of a person's “mental age” (as measured by a standardized test) and chronological age. An IQ between 90 and 110 is considered average; over 120, superior. (See Stanford-Binet scale.) Few tests still include the controversial notion of mental age.

Re: What makes you intelligent?

So the IQ test is an insult to human intelligence? lol

Re: What makes you intelligent?

the irony is this thread reveals more about certain posters than they think it does and their lack of intelligence over all

but what do I know

What makes you intelligent?
