I agree with spartacus and mawped about our subjective views of intelligence (i.e. "beauty/intelligence is in the eye of the beholder"), although I think that there would probably be some degree of statistical objectivity involved (when specific criteria are used). I think that someone also had a good point about the standard IQ test not being a very representative measure for all kinds of intelligence. Oh, and spartacus, what do you mean by too cerebral? Also, I wonder if you've heard the saying "on the internet, everyone has aspergers".
Quote:"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" -Albert EinsteinYou know, just because Einstein said this doesn't mean that it's automatically true. There are some things which aren't very simple at all, and which may need very in depth explanations for them to be properly understood.
Ru, I interpret your quote to mean that some people pretend to be intelligent around others, while some people are just intelligent whether or not others are around. But I don't think that your stereotype about intelligent people usually being overweight is very accurate.
I don't think I'm "the smartest person on wl", but I think that:
I'm pretty good with logic http://philosophychatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=19303
and science, but I suck at all types of maths except statistics.
In regards to linguistic intelligence: I used to write poetry a couple of years ago, and I think that I was starting to get pretty good at it:
Quote:"Dreamer"
Sparkling and abstract our thoughts seem
as we stroll throughout this bittersweet, strangely etched dream.
Must we fade without ever the chance to fly?
Are true heights before us eternally shy?
The original ancestor of a reflection soon forgotten,
When approached by moonlights' gentle blossom.
In which of us shall our beliefs be held righteous and strong?
Within what construction will our future belong?
Try to contemplate the sleeping skies' lost twinkles,
like the magnitude of missing smiles that created wrinkles.
Can intentions truly be genuine forever?
That would be, a beautiful treasure.
I'm hopeless with "Spatial Intelligence". That's the sort of thing that bananaman and remix are good at, in my opinion.
For "Musical Intelligence":Rival has written a really good song for the guitar. I'm ok with improvising on the piano, but I can't do much else musically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxIT2gsp ... XJB7LsJ3wR
For "Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence": I was good at football and athletics (back in high school, haha), not that good at many other sports (terrible at basketball).
For "Interpersonal Intelligence" and "Intrapersonal Intelligence", it's actually these two that I think I am very good with (and they are part of the reason that I want to be a counselling psychologist).

I did not mean to say overweight, I meant to say soft, in other words person that's hardly defending, hardly accepts tuff challenges, etc.
Quote:and spartacus, what do you mean by too cerebral?Cerebral edema or cerebral œdema is an excess accumulation of water in the intracellular or extracellular spaces of the brain. He called you retard.

cerebral: formal definition
demanding careful reasoning and mental effort rather than feelings

Is Obama too cerebral?

What I meant was I felt that sometimes your posts sounded too academical or intellectual, without taking much thought of the hoi polloi( common people) who are going to read it. It could be because you've participated in the philosophy forums where you meet like-minded people and that particular identity sticks with you here in this forums as well. However, I feel that it's a useful skill to have if you intend to be a counselling psychologist.

Ah ok, probably some truth to that, and it might have something to do with their outlook on life (for example if they are a pacifist like Einstein was [that means that they believe in only being peaceful and not ever being violent]), or if they think it is better/more effective for them to avoid conflict whenever possible. Which makes sense really.
Yeah spartacus, I guess it's partly habit from the other forums that I've been on. Which language is "hoi polloi" from?

Big corporations like Microsoft don't even find it practical to code everything exclusively in assembly, which would typically be heavily optimized and considerably faster.
