Put that little witch right in her place.
IQ in relation to intelligence is comparable to measuring someone’s athletic ability by how fast they can run the 100 yard dash. While speed is important in many athletic fields, there are other intangibles that can’t be measured in the 100 yard dash if we were to take that as a measure of overall athletic ability. In other words I think IQ only measures certain facets of intellectual ability and doesn’t give the complete picture. (not sour grapes on my part, I scored 137 on an IQ test just trying to keep things in perspective). I think there’s a ‘sweet spot’ as far as IQ is concerned, probably around 125 or so. After that the negatives start overriding the positives as far as social and intellectual achievement is concerned.
