All people are not the same; environment and genetics play huge roles in someone's iq. One could not expect people from poor backgrounds who no access to books and learning resources to score highly on I.Q tests, and this is why they are a flawed way of measuring intelligence.
A different answer...Hard to disagree with a statement like, "All people are not the same" -- and I don't disagree with that at all. But from that point on our answers diverge.IQ stands for "Intelligence Quotient". In this case, it refers to the subject's inherent intelligence, and specifically not to their education. These tests attempt to focus on reasoning and logic skills as opposed to one's comprehension of math, composition, etc. And the results are not intended to show how much one knows, but rather how much they potentially could develop.
What causes higher or lower IQ scores is the subject of many a doctoral thesis, and just as many arguments in the medical, social and educational sciences. Nature or nurture; we don't really know. Exceptionally bright children can arise from normal (in the statistical sense) parents in impoverished conditions, just as perfectly normal children can derive from genius parents in well endowed environments. While there appears to be a correlation between genetics, environment and IQ potential, we are far from clear about the root causes of this correlation.
As to IQ tests being flawed, they are to some extent. But this comes down to communications. If you only speak French, and the tests are available only in English, for instance, the tests cannot be valid. And what if you don't speak at all? In order for IQ testing to occur, there has to be a fundamental commonality at the point of communication. If one cannot read or speak, one cannot take an IQ test, and so the quality of the child's education and inherent ability to learn manifest in (hopefully) this one category. But what else would one do? With no communication, intelligence, as humans define it, is not measurable.
So in conclusion, yes -- the tests are flawed. But try and find a way around that flaw! :}
trust me i wish i knew. some things are just beyond our control. but what you can control is your outlook. try not view it as what other people have and you don't, but more like what you do have, what you are lucky to have. it's something i definitely have to work on.
It is a side effect of egotism or narcissism that people tend to feel that they are more moral than other people. It is always easier to understand your own point of view than it is to understand some other person's point of view, and intellectually lazy people interpret this to mean that their point of view is more valid than that of others.
No, more people do not smoke weed than people who don't. According to studies, the majority of the global population does not use marijuana or any other recreational drugs.
Having a higher IQ can provide some advantages in terms of problem-solving, learning ability, and cognitive skills. However, IQ is just one measure of intelligence, and it's essential to recognize that people have different strengths and abilities. It's more important to focus on developing skills, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence regardless of one's IQ level.
People may be singled out and made fun of more than others due to various factors such as physical appearance, personality traits, behavior, or social status. It can also stem from societal biases or prejudices. Additionally, individuals who exhibit vulnerability or lack self-confidence may be more susceptible to being targeted for bullying or ridicule.
Vegans are not necessarily better than other people. Some are healthier than other people, and some are not.
Diet coke is higher than most other pops because most people who are obese are trying to go on a diet.Plus, its healthier than other sodas since there is no sugar in it.
they are not.
It means a score equivalent to or higher than the top 88% of people who took it. In this case, that would mean your score was higher than that of 79-80 other people.
That you think that you are better than other people, that you see yourself higher
others, some people
Some people pay atention in class or work than others.
No, in some games they are worth the same amount and in other games the king is higher.
No, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that black people can jump higher than other racial groups based on their race alone. Jumping ability is determined by a combination of genetics, training, and individual differences, rather than race.
A person or some people that has more authority than you or has authority over you.
Jumping ability is a learned skill which can be influenced by such factors as: genetics, diet, exercise, muscle development through weight training and practice. I'm sure there are other factors, but hopefully this is a start.
The populations of Ireland and Wales have a higher incidence than other countries, and Caucasian people tend to get it more than non-Caucasians.
