[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm not sure how everyone gets to the last conclusion if IQ and intellignce are different animals and the IQ tests don't reflect intelligence.  If this is the case, what reflects intelligence (is this data in someone's bible)? [/quote]

Perhaps the answer to this question is that there is no existing test that actually reflects intelligence (as opposed to achievement as manifested through things such as linguistic competence, abstract computational abilities, etc.).  Many intelligent people can't even agree on what intelligence is, never mind how to reliably measure it.  I'm not sure why you think there [i]must [/i]be an absolute be all and end all test of intelligence, however that term is being defined.

In a vastly complex world, some things can't be boiled down into a simple number.  I understand that some people struggle with complexity, but that doesn't mean that we just have to slavishly adhere to the demonstrably imperfect model that already exists.[/quote]
