"Wrong. My son is very very intelligent. I'm not - I will admit that I get by and enjoy learning but I'm not naturally intelligent. My sons father was not intelligent either. My son was encouraged to learn and is predicted very good gcses " Is that how you measure his intelligence? GCSE? | |||

"Yes I think it is but maybe not totally - exceptions to rules etc." Why do you think it is and why do you think maybe not totally? | |||

" Just because you might not have been encouraged to learn, doesn't mean you are not intelligent. Schools only teach in a certain way and if that way doesn't suit you then you won't find it easy. | |||

" Well no, but it's how schools measure results and as he is top sets in all subjects and can do anything he puts his mind to. All his reports state he is intelligent. As I say I lack his intelligence so it's certainly not genetics | |||

"I don’t know. You are not born with knowledge, you have to learn it. To learn it you have to want to learn. So whilst some folk may gain more knowledge more easily without trying too hard, others can gain knowledge if they want to and put in the hard work with books etc. Although i’m sure i’m wrong. " I went to school with a guy that hardly ever revised for his exams, but always did exceptionally well in them. He must have been last in the queue when they were dishing out common sense though | |||

I believe intelligence can be taught. Spending time with children encourages learning. We would make volcanos together, we would do experiments and we would bake. | |||

"Yes I think it is but maybe not totally - exceptions to rules etc. Why do you think it is and why do you think maybe not totally? " Because occasionally you get brilliance where it is least expected, and vice versa. But I know lots of intelligent families where there are no exceptions, and some of the opposite, so I think it's generally true. | |||

"Heard on a radio show that intelligence is a genetic gift.. is this true? Do you agree or disagree? " you can train a child from an early age to be intelligent look at that mathematics lecturer who got his 6 year old son through all exams to A level but the ability to read a page once and remember it is genetic, I had two friends at school both pissed about in lessons both came out with straight A's | |||

"Define intelligence? Someone may not be as strong in book knowledge but can say build engines. Intelligence is just a word. " No I believe it is the ability to use logic, eg to solve novel problems. | |||

Its just a bastardised version of a quote by Germaine Greer, I think? Wasn't that a fish on a bicycle?" I think so. The stupid fish quote is attributed to Einstein. I know that because someone put it up on a notice board where I used to work. I grew to dislike it intensely | |||

"Saying that, the last thing to discover water would be fish. So how would you know you are intelligent? By the company you keep And if their memetic level isn’t that high because they haven’t discovered water?" I had to google memetic. I think one realises ones level of intelligence by comparison with ones peers. | |||

" That's kind of my issue with people who live in small villages, they tend to think way too much of themselves because they just don't meet enough smart people, often enough to accurately measure themselves against. | |||
