>So you actually believe that someone with an IQ of 60 should be allowed to occupy a higher position of control and should be given responsibility over other people's lives?

> hat's what I told you. IQ measures intelligence and not academic achievement. Academic achievement requires more than just intelligence, for example motivation and the so called "hard work".

IQ is a good predictor of academic achievement.

I am not convinced IQ is a good predictor of intelligence.


A question: what do you define intelligence as?

My textbook gives "the application of cognitive skills and knowledge to learn and solve problems"

My dictionary of psychology gives a more elaborate and reasoned definition that is a few paragraphs, but can basically be summed up as 'ability to apply logical and abstract thinking to a real world problem'

Thoughts on these?
