What is the best theory for what intelligence is?

I WAS NEVER IN ADVANCED CLASSES. I MEANT I WISH I WAS IN THEM. I HATED REGULAR CLASSES, KIDS IN ADVANCED CLASSES SEEMED COOLER AND SMARTER.

I don't think it's funny at all. It's just annoying that that guy misinterpreted what I said. So I wanted to write that extra big, so people don't overlook it. Literally half a dozen people were under the assumption that that's what I said, that's annoying to me.

It was just soooooooooooo big. So big it hurt my eyes.

That's what she said.

Yet you overlook the fact that I sided with you on that.

Amazing.

I'd consider that a seperate issue:  why we (as a whole) under-perform compared to Japan(as a whole) sepeaate from statistical outliers (like kids who would get into advanced placement).  

It's because IQ tests don't actually measure intelligence.  They measure education-- because even things like puzzles require exposure and learning.

The problem is that American schools suck, and so they produce kids who aren't very smart, on the whole.

Capital letters are a signal of low intelligence or inability to conduct rational discourse. He who screams, is losing the argument.

Why did dipshit get banned?
Was it something he said? Hehe

[Edwardo Piet]

For repeatedly abusing the reporting system.

No doubt he was trying to get me banned by reporting all my posts. Of course that's mere speculation, but given the history, it would be reasonable to think it.
