Very interesting story, thanks.
I’ll put my money on common sense any day.
Another harrumph for that guy!
Yes. Our Constitutional Republic needs more Smart and Lazy.
The Rules work if they are followed; too many in government have ambition that they think makes them above the Rules.
Don’t forget drive and determination and discipline and duty
DDDD
nice ring to it
No, I didn’t read the article. Too many words!
I always played around with these tests. I made patterns of my answers to the multiple choice questions.
I would answer A on the first question, then B, then C, then B again and back to A. And I still got a 127! Ha ha!
It was one of the stupidest tests I ever took. But then again, it was 50 years ago.
I was trying to say your analysis was completely correct
Fascinating.
As Argentina is of pure European extraction their IQ should be the same as Europe.
Of course they said that they were three IQ points ahead of Chile because Chileans had some "non-white" ancestry so their IQ must be lower.
That is interesting as Chile is a stable and prosperous country and Argentina has been a basket case for generations.
You would think it would be the other way around.
Or perhaps their work is a mix of government propaganda, some bits of what might be true and a great deal of pure hooey.
OK, thanks!
Yes, I think people can be intelligent, but have completely flawed belief systems. The political left all over the world has many intelligent people, but intelligence in implementing evil is not good. What the world needs is intelligence combined with good will.

IQ does matter, but so does hard work and common sense.
My career was as an electrical engineer. Richard Feynman’s lectures on physics were like hearing from God why things work like they do.
I bought the Feynman Lectures when I was a university freshman, not for a class, but just because it seemed interesting. Which it was, but it was also a lot of work. I ran out of time, and it went on a shelf.
However, I stayed interested in Feynman. One of my heros.
Do you remember Julius Sumner Miller’s Physics lectures? I remember those running late night on the local PBS station.
Here’s one example

High IQ sets one apart from one’s fellow human beings in a major way. Much of one’s intelligence is employed in learning how to adjust to those with a much lower IQ, who can constitute almost all the people one comes in contact with.
Some are better at this than others. The ones who are not good at such adjustment don’t do as well in the world as they might.
Argentinians are not pure European
Ever take the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory)
Isn’t government made up of people?
Stop being so darned logical. ;^)
“Ever take the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory)”
I took that at an employment agency in around 1985. They said I scored the highest of anyone they’d tested. I thought it was fun.
