How intelligent are you?

[TimberWolf]

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest intelligence.

Supplementary question: Are intelligent people evil?

[vetran]

I give 110% so 11. (Must stop working for a yank company).

Oh Yes.

[PM-Junkie]

I don't understand the question

[TimberWolf]

Aha! We have a voter - an honest one too!

Tricky question eh?

Supplementary question: Are intelligent people liars?

"On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest intelligence. "

Why have you invented a special scale when there`s already one for IQ?

[SallyAnne]

It depends what you mean by intelligent.

Do you mean general knowledge? Common sense? The capacity to learn? Academinc achievements?

It's pretty hard to define

I'm anywhere between a 3 and a 7 I think. On here at least...if you measured me against the population of the place I grew up, or infact the place I live now, I'd be between an 8 and 11.

There is the idea that evil is intelligent. And there are evil intelligent people - they're called psycopaths.

But I hold the view that evil is banal - it isn't big and it isn't clever.

In "Voyage to Venus", C.S. Lewis has a character, Weston, who has been taken over by Satan. One of the most chilling parts is the way that Satan uses intelligence as a tool, when it suits. But when not needed, he'll be mindlessly cruel and destructive.

[Pogle]

I know enough to know, I don't know enough.

[Drewster]

I know enough to know, I don't know enough.

Which is very profound - but not an indication of intelligence!

Far to many "measures of intelligence" have a very heavy reliance on "exposure to education", "knowledge" and reading/language skills.....

I am (of course) very intelligent - by whatever method you measure.

I disagree, i think that being aware that you do not know all there is to know IS a sign of intelligence.
