>>11914218I disagree with everything you said.
I studied neuro in undergrad, and am currently in a masters program.
>The idea that you can accurately measure a person's intelligence by have them take a 20 minute test is absurd. There are so many different and equally valid kinds of intelligence. For example emotional, social, and musical intelligence, which these takes completely ignore.In literally psych101, we were introduced to Gardner, who proposed like 9 types of intelligence. Including stuff like physical, musical, "spiritual", emotional... etc
No one thinks a 20 question facebook IQ test tells the entire story.
>IQ tests are also notoriously biased to favor European language and modes of thinking. Not to mention the fact that they make absolutely no attempt to account for socio-economic factors. There is alot of research in place to try to solve this problem, and its been criticized before. Just read up on the BITCH-100, and the Intelligence and Race wiki page.
>The only people who are seriously engaged in this kind of psuedoscience are closeted nazis with an agendaThe research im getting into is about improving intelligence actually, and accurately measuring it (mental processing speed).
>I can't wait until IQ research is banned and for anyone who brings up the idea to be thrown in jail for inciting racismEven in a perfect socialist system, there are going to be people who are more competent than others. Physically, mentally, emotionally.. etc. Whether its environmental or genetic, I think by the time we reach perfect socialism we will be mature enough to understand those differences without being butthurt or boastful
The only thing I agree with you with is your disapproval towards racists and bigotry.
