RE: Race, IQ, Genetics ... and Then What?

I agree; IQ has almost fck all to do with true intelligence. I wrote a post on this subject a little while back. https://steemit.com/life/@mckeever/intellect-emapthy-true-intelligence

Killer article! Loved it. Couldn’t agree more.

It's a interesting post sir, ! Very good.

...you use MLK as a model for exhibiting the 'intelligent' argument?
...Someone that plagiarizes his way through to gain his degrees ...
(Not to be confused with great charisma.. he had more in his little finger than I have in my whole body..)

But yes I agree - intellect and intelligence are worlds apart.

IQ is not the same as intellect.
And while you may not be able to correlate precisely IQ/ intelligence, you can use the comparison that while you might be a world class basketball player at 4'9" if you have natural talent - - if you are 7' 3" withthe same natural talent ...the chances are, you will be more successful in that sport...

And so it is with IQ and intelligence (not intellect in the slightest)
(IQ is not a good tool on individual analysis, but on group trends and how it presents within a genetic sample.)
