<quoting zan>
stanford-binet is language based, but is easily translate-able, but no
that is in no way an accurate representation of a question on that test,
 it is (to repeat myself) G BASED, NON-LEARNED</shouting in your ear>
people who disreagrd IQ tests are afraid of the issues about thier
self-worth that they raise. so drop the "grapes are sour anyways"
attitude (see aesop for an explanation of that one)
</quoting>

Thank you for shouting, in my old age this is really a help.

I didn't disregard IQ tests, Sir/Madam.
I reacted to somebody who bragged with his IQ.


Ok then, now for the logician:

If   (
     intelligence is the ability to learn
and
     admitting one's lack of knowledge
     is a prerequisite to learn
and
     bragging is a sure sign of having not learned,
     how one's own mind is functioning,
     )
then
     bragging about one's IQ is a sure sign
     of lack of intelligence.


It's a pleasure to discuss with you<grin>
