You are absolutely right that there are many different types of intelligences. And that's why something as simple as an IQ test could never measure how knowledgable/intelligent a person is. It just doesn't include everything.
The theory of multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner has some great information on this.
That's pretty accurate actually, I have a somewhat above average IQ and it mostly shows in knowing lots of useless trivia and having an obnoxious and generally unpleasant disposition.
Honestly, honey, ever since I first saw your posts, I've thought you were a little dumb. By the way, spouting stuff at me in Latin, wow, I'm so impresssed.
Anyone can learn a language, I could type a sentence in French or Spanish here but I won't because unlike you, I know such things aren't indicative of shit. Oh also, insults about weight, damn, you're so original, Oscar Wilde's got nothing on you in terms of wit!
But trust me, my ass has nothing on the size of your mouth.
Firstly, I didn't know you were blonde before commenting, I don't even know what you look like and I don't judge on looks, I judge on words.
You also assume I have prejudices, how did you come to that conclusion? I could care less about your hair colour, it's what is under that hair and skin that I am judging on and as it stands, not a lot...
You also seem to lack the ability to detect sarcasm, I refer you to my "wow, I'm so impressed!"... I wasn't impressed in the slightest, hence why I said that anyone can quote a language.
He may be dead but his wit is still regarded with respect and that was also sarcasm, so that's another one you missed. Bless.
IQ tests are not only riddled with gender, cultural and racial biases, they are, as a matter of fact, dependent on them. Problems in predictive validity, construct validity, along with test item bias, all make IQ tests simple exercises in intellectual masturbation.
Is it normal to feel intellectually superior

I'm surprised no one mentioned the spelling and lack of apostrophes...
The only way to really know how "intellectual" or "smart" you are is to take an IQ test.
But just know that there are many different kinds of smarts and different people are clever in different ways.

Doing well on an IQ test just shows how well you do on an IQ test. And it doesn't indicate intellectuality.
Most people I know with a genius IQ are as thick as a brick. One I know said in 2005 "housing prices could continue trending upward perpetually."
Yeah, you're smart...sure.

Half the world is below average, and most of them are here on this board.
If they can't answer the questions correctly, they'll never pass it...
Please, do excuse me, whilst I once more laugh my ass off at you..

And my sympathies on the loss of your ass. Perhaps it was too big to begin with.

I'm blonde, so any impression you have of me is likely influenced by your prejudices.
If my bad latin impresses you, you really need to get out more.
Not anyone can learn a language, not even as a first one. See how many people have problems communicating here.
Shit is shit, and indicates shit. No shit?
Oscar Wilde is dead. But I can get you his fax number.
Lastly, nice try at deflection. Your defense of IQ tests remains unsupported and inadequate.

To be or not to be, isn't that the question?
