What is Intelligence?

Hey beauties, it’s nice to see you all again :)

This article will be an attempt to correlate my own beliefs on intelligence with the findings of a couple of other notable contributors. I want to bring you back to that time you and a friend of yours decided it may be fun to take a free IQ test online (Intelligence quotient). What you would have found if you were lucky is sites like Mensa (http://www.mensacanada.org/), if you were less fortunate, you may have found a Facebook Quiz with 10 questions. Regardless of your prophecy like quiz results, the idea of intelligence tests stems from the idea that within all of us, we have a guiding consciousness through the world around us. The greater your intelligence, the greater your alleged awareness of the best multiple choice answers on an IQ test.

Now I am jumpy like a jack rabbit, and I like it that way. But what could have been revealed in my own search for intellectual acknowledgement, when I was young I scored in high percentiles. Beyond that I think it is important each person relates to another’s intelligence, from their own stand alone viewpoint. What this means is, I will not give you greater respect for telling me you have an IQ of 150, however I may watch you to determine the authenticity of your claims. Why you may ask? Because actions speak louder than words, and upon studying some of the highest scoring individuals to ever take IQ tests, what do you learn? Many test authenticated geniuses live completely upon their own devices, taking up jobs that give them what they want. What do some intellectually gifted people want? Some damn peace and quiet from the mundane shell shock of modern debauchery. Meet a friend, Chris Langan through a YouTube interview in 2009. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggur-Ca2nzs)

Chris is just this, a man who prefers the world in his head.

Are you interested in your IQ? This site is a modern way to help you learn of your own self realisations (https://geniustests.com/). Now let’s go through the three standard scenarios to take away from your IQ results. Three major outcomes are, you score within the average of 90 to 110, you score below the average, or you score above. If you scored within the average you should consider yourself blessed, you don’t offend the extremes of some of your brothers and sisters, and none would avoid you more than any other based on your intelligence alone. How about above the score, like Chris Langan, what if you had no precognition to your own self worth and now you feel like you can run circles around anyone. I suppose the truth is you always could, and now just the cold bar of genius guides you to your path. But most profound of all is people with lower intelligence, sometimes this can be related to head trauma, birth defects, and yet a flower bloomed all the same.

Do you know someone who in some regards seems about as sharp as a sock full of Jell-O, and yet, maintains a career far beyond what you would consider their means? Have you ever heard ignorance is bliss? Well the truth is that although conscious awareness can take many forms, it is not the only guiding intelligence gifted to us. Some people score low because it’s not their intelligence that is being accurately tested. As is why the IQ system has fallen to the way side of formal testing, some people hold their greatest intellectual capabilities just off the screen of the conscious mind. In the subconscious mind, the subconscious mind may not operate the same way as is the beauty of intelligence. (http://www.livescience.com/59020-what-high-intelligence-iq-means.html ) This and other observed culture biases in the past decades have brought on a greater understanding of the tests and their short comings.

Regardless of any IQ test, as I will continue to say, actions speak louder than words, and the value of a bluff should always be in comprehension when playing any game.

Here is another article related to the eastern world’s highly competitive education system, and how even the parents of pupils are being thrown back into the fire in relation to their child’s potential for intelligence. http://shanghaiist.com/2017/05/09/school-tests-parents.php

All in all though, the main reason I wrote this article is to explain my own view that intelligence is simply, extremely complex pattern recognition and reinsertion: intelligence is recognising. As considered on this blog: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/102964846101/my-crackpot-theory-of-intelligence

Why? Ask me specific to your circumstance. My leading intelligence used to be visual, and yet I can try to translate what you would love to discover into the intelligence most comfortable to you.

Funny enough Google and other top companies have been playing with AI (artificial intelligence) for many years now. In that time, what they have learned is that artificial Intelligence has not surpassed self serving levels of intelligence, for example: “Kill all humans, we would put you in cages” theologies like found at the end of this link and other similar AI projects. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ETBxekneSg) Only after the scientific community’s revelations about dreaming have projects like the one below started to utilise dreaming as a teaching method. Such dreams like those of lucid dreamers may prove nearly essential to reach some of the upper echelons of human experience.

Too lazy for anything more complicated than sports, here is a link discussing the virtues of intelligence as related to the NBA playoffs. https://www.si.com/nba/2017/05/16/steve-kerr-nba-playoffs-golden-state-warriors-injury-leadership

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit more with me today
