one lazy sunday afternoon.nothing much to do and i switched on my system and got to the yahoo page.And i typed intelligence quotient, dunno why but that was the first thing that came to my mind!And I came across this page which talks about how Jesus Christ has the highest iq ever recorded(by the way back then did they even have this concept of iq leave alone iq testing).
Mind you I amnt giving this any communal colour to this.But I just found this article outrageously humourous!!
Says this article
quote "Modern tests differentiate minute details, such as from one year of age to the next. We do not have those details, but do have that a child of 12, which can also be generally stated as 1/2 adult. A preliminary low estimate so far would then be the given age times 2, or 100 x 2 = 200 IQ Jesus interacted with the smartest people. Adults generally have a range of about 70 IQ to 130 IQ, with the smartest people of a representative community perhaps having an IQ of about 130 to 150. So we are looking at 300 IQ for a low estimate. But Jesus interacted with the smartest people. Adults generally have a range of about 70 IQ to 130 IQ, with the smartest people of a representative community perhaps having an IQ of about 130 to 150. So we are looking at 300 IQ for a low estimate." unquote
OK this sound ridiculous but do you know what is more ridiculous and outrageous.This article also talks about Galileo, how many people think him to be smart although he struggled with his own ideas.Yet if he were around today he would be in grade school because any modern 12 year old knows a helicopter doesn't look like his illustration.A 12 year knows how one looks like beacuse he's seen one!!again the article says
quote "IQ is to measure intelligence, not behavior or teaching patterns, therefore a high appraisal is figured at 300 as noted above, times subjective guesstimate 1.5 = 450Q."unquote
What was the logic behind this article??
And then ofcourse there was another one I found which talked about why Asians typically score more on an IQ test while most of the research work and innovation happens in the US.A guy replied IQ is a measure of your learning capabilities!(!!)And so they import all the technology from the US and use them in their backyard!But then arent most of the researchers in US of Asian origin.And who ever said that IQ was a measure of your learning capabilities??
Needless to say it was pretty much entertaining to go through all this stuff!!
