individuals all have that devine spark, even the dumbest ones
does not change the fact that there are average IQ differences between races
and they are important
I disagree
I dont think they are important... because it could just happen to be this way... like if they tested the average IQ based on hair colour.. maybe red heads would turn out to have higher IQ .. but 30 yrs later it might just happen to be blondes at that time
they might, but it would be in function of their race, because black people tend to only have black or brown hair
for example
ok.. so if they only tested white people then .. either way
then they average out to the white people bell curve
the multi variate analysis have been done folks
the defining characteristic is race
you cant have meaningfull data unless you tested several generations
like i said, if you dont trust IQ nothing in psych makes sense, from its inception to now
IQ tells me how educated someone is, not necessarily how smart they are.
but even then .. it tells you nothing about anyone
it tells you performance on tasks
although the term "smart" is relative
specifically tasks that have change all the time
I mean the stats... they tell you nothing
they do
higher IQ people are more successfull, which is outweighed by every other personality trait
IQ is the most solid pysch mesurement we have
ok.. say you tested all white people and it turned out people who wore blue hats for the test had higher IQ on average.. what does that tell you?
example IQ question:
"Find two words, one from each group, that are the closest in meaning:
Group A
talkative, job, ecstatic
Group B
angry, wind, loquacious
a. talkative and wind
b. job and angry
c. talkative and loquacious
d. ecstatic and angry"
you need to know the definition of these words
it gets tested with every psych test every time
learning word definitions correlates with IQ
an uneducated person is not going to know the term "loquacious"
they wont
and they havent
this is my core problem with IQ tests. if you think it related to biologically based smarts
I understand IQ is important .. what Im saying is... it has nothing to do with race
its not pure biology based
its between 50-80% biology
and thats fine, but people use it as that.
and it has something to do with race, pretty streight up
no doubt about it
lets take twin studies for example
biological race? or culture of certain races?
you take genetic twins
same genes
