Now ... that’s a different kind of “education” ... :-) ...

Ok, that makes sense.
Thanks

The problem with the IQ tests is that all they measure is how well one can do on IQ tests.

[miliantnutcase]

So he obsessed like a woman with all of his extra hemisphere connections? ;-)

[Star Traveler]

I don’t know if I would use the phrase “rational mind” — in the negative — with Albert Einstein. I would say that he exemplifies a rational mind to a very high degree. I think some other term might be more apt ... :-) ...

I have no idea what mine is. I suppose it’s on the record somewhere, but I’ve never seen it.

That makes at least two of us. I have no need to know either. If I found out that it was high, I might be as vain as some people touting their own numbers and if it were low, I might be embarrassed and if it were average..........Well, who the heck wants to be average?

[RWB Patriot]

Support for socialism and a rational mind are polar opposites.

[Star Traveler]

And in following up with that assessment, I would say “how well one performs on IQ tests” also carries over into real life in very directly observed ways ... in other words, there is a correlation ...

[Hot Tabasco]

I wonder how his high IQ will play into his politics, when he grows up?

Wait till he reaches puberty and discovers girls..........

[Star Traveler]

That may be popular if one has a particular political viewpoint (as is true on this forum) - but it is not true by definition.

I personally don’t think “rationality” has a big part in a political persuasion, although all parties try to maintain that it does ... :-) ...

[Graybeard58]

I’ll take Ayn Rand over Einstein any day.

Rand? Einstein? In the end no I.Q. mattered. Rand was an atheist, I don't know Einstein's religious leanings. Jewish maybe?

[Graybeard58]

Your #44 is funny.

[Hot Tabasco]

I am too, at 164. Doesn’t mean ....

Nor has it prevented you from reminding us yet again how smart you are...........LOL!

Just do us all a favor, change your tag line to "I"m a member of Mensa, I have an IQ of 164 and gosh darn it, I am smart!".......LOL!

[Personal Responsibility]

Why would high IQ prevent leftist thinking? The ideology is based on a small set of geniuses telling everyone what’s good for them. Morality and wisdom are what separates left and right, not intelligence.

[txhurl]

In the end no I.Q. mattered.

The Manhattan Project mattered.

I’ve read a couple of his books. He was a great character, really interesting guy.

[Bobalu]

He was an Ashkenazi Jew (European Jewry) but I don’t think he was an observant religious Jew.

[MV=PY]

Right.

But can he juggle?

[MSF BU]

Excellent point

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I’m sorry if you’re offended. I;m not sure how accurate the tests were, because I had a system for taking tests back then. Doesn’t matter, I made a lot of dumbass decisions in my life. But the test results stand. Am I smart? Yes,, in some areas. I can’t see why it bothers you.
After I disappeared from my home, Mensa somehow tracked me down. They invited me to a meeting. I hung around for about 15 minutes, before sneaking out the door. I’d never met such a huge number of a-holes. Make of it what you will.
