Couldn't I just listen to them and not care if they are condescending or not? Some people are too high strung I think, just mellow out and you will enjoy life more. The people I have a problem with are anti-intellectuals that form opinions based on conjecture and misinformation.
	Report to Moderator My life can't be this lame.

IQ doesn't really measure intelligence. It was motivated as an intelligence test--however the test makers considered intelligence at the time, but they just kept trying questions until the IQ measured a normal random variable with mean 100 and standard deviation 10 (or at least standard deviation 10--not sure if they cared about the mean). Basically, they played with it until the IQ test fit the "bell curve." Which means, at this point, we don't know what IQ measures. We just know that it measures something that has mean 100 and standard deviation 10. Edit: I understand talking about IQ really doesn't belittle your point (i.e. how someone presents themselves does not correlate with how intelligent they are), but it does bother me egregiously when someone suggests a correlation between IQ and something as vaguely defined as intelligence.

Wihl 4259 cr points Send Message: L 5 Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/21/13 How Do You Handle Boring Intellectuals Who Think They Are Better Than You? Great topic. Don't let them play word games or try to snow you with jargon. Challenge the premise behind their assumptions. Then using their premise follow it to the logical conclusion no matter how absurd or ridiculous it becomes.
