"IQ has to do with the intellect, not intelligence."

IQ is a number. IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient, not Intellect Quotient. I'm just asking where the cut-off for character lies on the Bell Curve.

Let me ask it another way. If we were to measure the IQ of all the people with character, what would be the lowest IQ we would find? 60? 80? 110? Certainly one who makes the statement, "Character requires intelligence." has some level of intelligence in mind.

A person with character does not always make the logical choice, granted. But that has nothing to do with their intelligence.

Logic says that if a man is dying, what difference does it make if he takes an addicting drug. Logic is devoid of ethics and morals.

Just because a person with character doesn't always make the logical choice doesn't mean he's stupid -- excuse me, "not intelligent".

I know people in Mensa whose lives are greatly screwed up by their unintelligent choices, yet they have high IQs. A person with a high IQ can be snookered into truly asine beliefs whereas an intelligent person can compare notions to reality and find them wanting commonsense.

This is why we have people with high IQs supporting the war on drugs.
