I'm always impressed by the guys who cry about the term IQ. It's a crude measure of potential INT scores. Idiots have low IQs, and smart people have high IQs.

Are you butthurt over not getting let into a gifted program because your IQ was too low or something?

>> No.1556372

>>1556338
Going to agree with you on this one. First of all IQ is pretty accurate. It effectively measures categories that are right below the value "g." And we can also through experimentation find that people with higher IQs (and thus higher "g" values) have brains that simply function better. Their brain physically processes information faster and more efficiently. I'm not sure why people don't have much faith in IQ; it's okay to be skeptical but there's a load of evidence to say that there is some number out there that is an actual core value of intelligence and IQ is a decent predictor of it.

Obama is an empty suit. He doesn't stand for unification. He just stands for the same rhetoric and undermining of institutions that all politicians stand for in our age.

McCain is no better, but I think he's less of an enemy.

We're doomed, either way. I just think Obama will make it far worse.

>> No.1556445

Seeing as how FDR first campaigned on "balancing the budget", I could see Obama dropping the neoliberal bullshit and pulling a another New Deal. Though it's probably more likely that Obama will be another Clinton and won't really change much of anything.

I strongly believe that there is indeed a underlying factor that determines intelligence, however I am hesitant to believe that written tests given by psychologists (I regard Psychology as a pseudo science) are capable of accurately measuring the intelligence of an individual. The only way to truly test intelligence is to fabricate a machine which measures intelligence by testing activity in the brain (sort of like a CAT scan). To me, numbers from said IQ tests are just numbers, as a man of science my belief shall not waver until a test that is uneffected by socio economic standing and is capable of producing a score with a standard deviation of .1.

I read at between two and three times the speed of your average Joe with the same rate of comprehension, and I learn much faster than my classmates. I score very high for everything on career aptitude tests. I was reading on college level in 4th grade, which is why they had me tested. Does my brain actually function better? Maybe. Does that have anything to do with how bad I am at fitting in with the crowd? Maybe. We don't really know these things.

>(I regard Psychology as a pseudo science)

Pseudoscience deals with the unobservable.
The human mind can be observed and documented; it just depends if the mind is willing.

Ergo, study of the human mind cannot be pseudoscience, as it can be an observed scientific field.

discrimination and fascism. nothing more to say. and in terms of efficiency we could just as well classify branchnes and positions in the economy and allocate them with manpower through measures like IQ.
For higher effciency people have to be graded and in certain classes with the help of genetics. It's a waste of energy for say a working class member to exceed in terms of IQ than in the standarzided values classified for his labor class.

Obligatory copypasta from during the primaries.

Ron Paul- Mysterious transfer student who's actually an alien
Huckabee- Clumsy, innocent schoolgirl i.e. Mikuru
Romney- Arrogant daughter of rich family with hidden softside. However, the Romney you know is only a robot stand-in for the real Romney who became a hikki due to emotional distress from bullying.
Obama- Little brown meganeko. Victim of bullying, due to outspokenness. Calls Edwards Nee-san.
Hillary- Student council president. Although seemingly strict and powerful, has nervous breakdowns unknown to the rest of the class.
Edwards- Adventurous, rural tomboy. Bitter rivals with Giulani. Obama's Nee-san.
Giulani- Giuliani as the slutty mean girl. Urban. Bitter rivals with Edwards. Leader of bullies aka Antoinette.
Kucinich- Loli. Little sister? She would think she's some kind of child genius and tries to be very mature, but she's actually an idiot. She would commit many malapropisms, and screw up common sayings. Because she thinks she's a genius, she has a bit of an ojou-sama complex.
