Woah, I smell cheese...

That eye thing is bull, it's an illusion created by hollywood and literature. All you're doing is sizing the other guy up based on their looks and expression, and what they've said and done most recently.

*tosses first argument*

The second argument however, is entirely understandable, though completely open to abuse.

As for talking to someone, I guess you're right, but yes that "eye" thing is just Hollywood science. Fake.

You can tell alot of things from looking into someones eyes but I doubt that intelligence is one of them.

You can tell what someone is thinking and be able to answer their next question without even hearing them say it if you're good enough at it.

I'm impressed this topic got this far, perhaps the mystery of intelligence has intrigued people, no?

In wars and so fourth or other events that cause people to rely on each other to the point their lives depend on it, people have claimed to be able to hear what the other is thinking.

Here's some info on it:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepathy

May be one day, the part of the brain that controls pre-empted thought will develope.

I didn't mean measure how intelligent someone is, but from what I've experienced, you can tell if they are intelligent at all.

As opposed to some people who tend to have that glazed eyes, staring into empty space thing going on.

What is preemptive thought? You know what you're going to think before you think it?

That is how people look when they're bored, not stupid.

Ask someone why the general consensus of the prima materia suggests a goal which is reachable in theory but stretches the limits of man in reality given that the state of the actual matter transmuted would in essence cease to exist due to the nature of everything having to be uniform, and with that said would not nothing be an adequate sacrifice for the desired amount of something and would also not everything be an inadequate sacrifice due to everything in it's essence being prima materia?

You can practically see questionmarks in their eyes.
So it's not just when people are bored, it's also when they don't have a clue what you're talking about. ^_^

I think intelligence isn't what your iq is but how you handle situations in life.

It's fucking sad that you and the cat can't stick to the subject and even attempt to defend your little bullshit religion without jumping to personal attacks, maybe thats because evolution is such a stupid idea it's hard to back it up with any claims pertaining to reality.

Alchemy is as valid as astrology.

I got an IQ of 117, and I'm only turning 13! Woot, though I had to guess like 4 of em  ::)

As for measuring pure intelligence, it is impossible because people have unimaginable knowledge in certain areas and understanding in different fields.

Alchemy is valid, it's just that you don't understand it yet.

I took that IQ test when I was 12, got 152.
But those tests are really invalid, my father took it and got 140-something, and I know he's far more intelligent than I am.

WHAT? A MODERATOR IN INTELLIGENT DEBATE? IT'S TRUE! Yes, I decided to take a random trip in here, and now regret my choice, as I think my IQ has dropped a few points reading some of the posts here and trying to make them make sense.

Hm... I think the first thing wrong here is you're talking about the validity of alchemy (lol) in a topic of measuring intelligence. Which, really, isn't bad, unless you're trying to say alchemy is... oh wait, you are saying that....

And, as said way earlier in this topic (by me, I believe), IQ test scores between adults and children are not relative. It would be perfectly normal to score higher than an intelligent adult when you are a child. 152 for a child, is actually, barely average, but still... alchemy... lol

Good luck, gonorrhoea, arrow... LOS.

impossible. just impossible.
I think intelligence isn't what your iq is but how you handle situations in life. 

iq is actually common sense( as in tough common sense) intelligence+handling situations with intelligence, just not normally.

In my defense I'm not the one who claimed alchemy was invalid, I doubt most people even know what alchemy is.

Salad is short for saladin, I don't look at all the names, I quoted that other moderator guy as House in an earlier post ^_^

Elegy turning out to be an idiot again. ::)

EDIT:
If you haven't read the earlier posts (which you most probably haven't, since Halo is repeating himself here already...) I've scored 153 the last time I've made an IQ Test a year ago when I was 19. If you want to prove us you have an IQ over 80, you should start posting more intelligent posts instead of posting how much you've scored in an IQ test 5 years ago. ::)

No, you're an idiot, because you don't respect other's opinions and try to ENFORCE your own ideas and your own opinion. And I'm not Mr. Popular, but you're definitely going to become Mr. Unpopular if you continue being an idiot.

I have never done anything like that, all I've been doing is instigating and trying to make people angry, you don't even know what my ideas are, how can you claim I try to enforce them on anyone?

To be honest you're the one enforcing your belief system on people and then going on the defensive when someone (that would be me) decides to disagree with you.

For a person of claimed intelligence you sure love using the word idiot instead of adressing the point.

You sure love to miss the point, so why should I even state one? It's just wasted time.

Your ideas were that Evolution is a Religion, that humans are unnatural, that mankind is destroying the planet and we all are gonna die, etc. Want more? Now, if you're gonna be a little baby and continue whining, make your own topic, stop spamming other's topics instead.

can't post a single reply without trying to offend me? I'm flattered that you think I care.
I like you.

In any case those aren't my ideas, I'm simply the messenger.

Intelligence is more than mathematics and how much of a science book you decided to memorize, you can have intellectual knowledge and social knowledge, or, to use the aweful terms: book smarts and street smarts.
Them you can have both, like I do ;)

Wisdom is also separate from intelligence.
Something you gain from experience and over time rather than something learned from a book.

You're jumping over to conclusions. You don't even know that I have a lot of street smarts. And you're offending others all the time including me.

Did you know that people who think themselves of messengers earlier or later get into the sanatorium? Want to know something about wisdom? Read this here:

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,13155.0.html

You obviously have the wrong picture of me, since you don't care to get the real one (duh, no wonder, you skim my posts). After "Wisdom without knowledge is nothing" I said in there "Knowledge without wisdom is even less". =/
