love science, we always know exactly the reason why everything happened.
You or my or anyones experience is subjective, Innacurate.

And so that IS the oppsite to a vegetarian as they dont eat anything with a face by definition... They eat all the stuff I dont! Weeds etc. I cant see how everyone doesent get that?
but the better tests also test crystalized knowledge.
Works, but sometimes logic fails to apply to a situation
Burgerman wrote:Logic never fails
You missed my point. Logic fails every day because the world is not always logical everywhere. Very many things have a chaotic nature, or are partially chaotic, or cyclically chaotic [url]logistic map, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovJcsL7vyrk[/url], fundamentally resistive to logical prediction or interpretation.
I remember what happened yesterday, I remember what happened 10 minutes ago, I don't always remember what happened 3 seconds ago. I use logic to deduce where I am and how I got there. It works most of the time,
but sometimes strange things happen quickly. People expect me to react to what just happened, but I don't remember yet. So the reaction they get from me is a response based on something that didn't actually happen, but the most logical thing which I assume happened. Logic is just a set of rules for handling data. Garbage in, garbage out.
My neighbor received a letter he was expecting in his mailbox. It is logical to assume that the mailman put it there.
Even you, with your amazing powers of logic, would make that conclusion with the facts available.
However, the letter was put in my mailbox by mistake, and I delivered it to his box while out enjoying the early morning air. No one saw me. The neighbor only checked his box after the mailman arrived later. The mailman just assumed the letter was one he delivered the day before. It was, he just delivered it to me instead.
You cannot apply logic to anything that is not known. Or understood. Or measured etc. Logic deals with facts. And only facts.

But being born as a low IQ person is a tragedy.
Life is easy for the average IQ person as most of the population (80%) are all on their own same level of understanding and communication.
“Low IQ” people refers to those (IQ 86 and less). It can also be defined as “IQ greater than one standard deviation lower than the average”. Usually IQ of 60 is considered as the lowest for independent survival and not needing custodianship.
"High IQ" refers to a person one full deviation above average. So normalised IQ (not test score!) of 114 and above. Those with lower or higher IQ than this suffer even greater problems in communication. Or even survival without a lot of external assistance.
And no, you cant test IQ with online tests. You need a proper supervised test such as those administered by mensa, or the millitary, or a qualified Psychologist under properly controlled conditions with recognised tests.
I struggle to communicate with many on here. Make of that what you will. Its not just on here its all through life. Yes I am pretty high IQ and make no apologies for that. And yes it makes life difficult as far as communication with almost anyone hard. People attention spans always seem far too short. They obviously dont grasp what you just attepted to ask, explain etc. And no amount of repetition or clarification helps that sink in. They all think they got it. And switch off. When they plainly didnt. It leaves me at my wits end taking to banks, doctors, the guy that MOT'd my van yesterday. Etc etc. Every day.
People also say I am very negative. But sadly thats also a consequence of a good brain. I see all the downsides and problems that most dont want to know or hear. A human brain has a NEGATIVE BIAS. It evolved that way because it keeps you alive. Walking alone in the jungle at night and you see a rock. Or a bush. You are not sure. It might be a tiger or a bear. So you decide its a bear and run away. Because if you decide its a rock or a bush you may no longer live to tell the tale. The brighter you are the more of this stuff you see. I see most normal people as seeing the entire world through a keyhole. They miss the big joined up picture no matter what the subject.
The higher your IQ the more you undestand about the world, the more you see all the negatives, the downsides and possible problems and how these fit into the big picture. So it always makes you more negative, pointing out the errors in thinking or errors in design. Most people dont care and are not as good at seeing this so dont want to know. They just shut off. They would rather not see details. So I come across as being negative all the time. Its also why details MATTER. And why logic and reason and critical thinking skills and evidence are far more accurate and important when figuring anything out than feelings and testimonials. Because that does not work. Thats tough if you are unable to think this way. But its the only way to the truth of anything.

We now have out there what I call the egalitarian fiction that all groups are equal in intelligence. We have social policy based on that fiction. For example, the 1991 Civil Rights Act codified Griggs vs. Duke Power, which said that if you have disproportionate hiring by race, you are prima facie -- that's prima facie evidence of racial discrimination. ...Differences in intelligence have real world effects, whether we think they're there or not, whether we want to wish them away or not. And we don't do anybody any good, certainly not the low-IQ people, by denying that those problems exist.
