It's an IQ question. Since the author of the article does not describe exactly how the exam went about, we are forced to make certain assumptions.

You described the conditions of your own, better, tests. And showed thereby that you have no clue.

We assume that the Kpelle tribesman has been told that his intelligence is being tested, or at least that he knows that the tester is testing him in some way.

You also assume that your Kpelle tribesman is used to thinking in the same way as the researcher. A different outlook on life is far more likely a cultural than an genetic thing ... is IQ supposed to measure cultural effects? And since the Kpelle tribesman's response was logically quite correct from a quite reasonable perspective, clearly he's not so stupid after all.

You're simply assuming away those effects and demanding that the tribesman accept the conditions you set -- IOW, doing exactly what I said you were doing. You're just too arrogant to admit it.

Part of the problem with our world today is that people fear speaking openly about things.

In the spirit of openness, I will openly and frankly state that you're a hypocrite ... every disparaging trait you attribute to the Kpelle tribesman is found in your own posts. Attempts to "inject reason and sense" into your little diatribe is met with a set of self-serving but unjustified assumptions.

You, sir, are worth no more of my time. Have a nice life.

As a little parlor game for Freepers who are really bored, I'd like to suggest that they take a moment to try to figure out exactly what you are talking about in any of your posts on this subject. Your paragraphs are the written equivalent of modern art - there is no point in trying to make sense of it, but brainless "intellectuals" will still say it is genius.

Having read your responses, I can see that you've either misunderstood every other thing I wrote, or you simply cannot think in a straight line. Either way, please stay in academia, because the real world would never have you.
