What kind of 'wallet'?

Leather wallet

We the extremely intelligent ones are good listeners and less words

Miracood2:
I strongly disagree with this assertion.

If you are a teacher, you'll understand that it's not everybody that asks a lot of questions is intelligent.

Some ask questions, stupid questions in fact just to cause confusion where there is non.

My fiancee who happens to be a teacher told me this.

this is true!

With the use of an IQ test.

How reliable is that? IQ tests generally require the tested person to be literate. Does this mean illiterate folk are not intelligent?

There is a certain story in the IQ academic literature about the Kpelle people of Liberia .It is worth reading. In the story they were asked to sort objects and did this in a way that exasperated the Western Scientist. When asked to sort them "like a fool" would they very quickly sorted them how an !intelligent" Western person would but in their worldview that was "foolish". So answering question with predetermined answers does not look at the thinking process

The simple truth is that whilst the IQ test can be useful it has very serious cultural ,linguistic and other constraints that limit its validity
At the core of the problem is that there is no satisfactory definition of intelligence

Benwallt:

You can't listen and process things you don't understand. Lol

Funny.

Not all intelligent people ask questions.
Some understand, you don't have to waste all your time explaining things to them.

There are so many kinds of intelligence , Not one.
e.g . some people are very good at reading people and interacting with people whilst others have intelligence that shines in abstract or solitary activity e.g in a laboratory.
Ever met an "intelligent" person who cannot clean his flat or manage his finances?
You say you have met Billionaires . Se you dey whine us ni?

Anyway being a billionaire is not necessarily about intelligence but common sense. They are not the same thing.
So citing a billionaire as intelligent is wrong. Billionaires generally have more drive ,determination, focus and goal with aruthless mindset often.
Many "intelligent" people do not have common sense.
The ability to do the right thing at the right time or not to procrastinate is reflective of personality traits that are more important than "intelligence" and such people often end up having more intelligent people working for them
Native Wisdom over "intelligence" any day.

Many thing in life are simple and straightforward e.g go to bed early, wake up early , do not smoke , do not drink do not have sex with strangers without a condom , control your temper, mind how you talk etc but somehow many "intelligent" people never learn them and sometimes seem to be on a path of self destruction.
Finally the attribute of cunning is something many intelligent people never master .

Andrew Carnegie

God bless you

One of the reasons I quit church, the idea were they don't want you to ask God questions doesn't sit well with me

I am intelligent because I used to carry first in secondary school.

Intelligent person is quick learner, trouble shooting, attentive, conscious, clever, brave,behold, some how spiritual.

the only intelligent person I know is he who thinks that he's stupid or dull

Bruno3000:
Nice write up.
In addition, intelligent people are men of few words. They don't just talk for talking sake, think b4 making each statement and the effects they would create on their listeners.
Intelligent people are people who display humility and are ever willing to learn from anyone; they rarely show off.
Intelligent people are flexible in nature. They possess and display adaptation skills whenever and wherever necessary.

obviously u are an intelligent person

You are right.
Als intelligent people to me keep to time.
They are time conscious.
The Oraimo watch 2 Pro is the perfect time keeper for you.

IQ tests are trash.

Fairview1:
Intelligent people are naturally curious people. They ask you questions upon questions.

When you answer, they ask you more. When you start using big words, they ask for clarification. When they can’t understand anything you’re saying, they ask for you to explain it to them as if they were a five-year-old.

When you say something intriguing, they write it down in their notebook or phone.
These people are not naturally more intelligent. They’re better learners which makes them more intelligent.

Why do they learn better? They’re genuinely curious and ask questions from a humble standpoint. I’ve met billionaires who’ve said, “explain it to me as if I were a five-year-old.”

This simple phrase has changed my life when it comes to learning. As soon as you stop asking questions, you stop learning. As soon as you stop writing down ideas, you forget them.

The hardest part of becoming intelligent is not bullshitting yourself about what you know; it’s being humble enough to ask questions. If you can do this, then people will see you as intelligent, too.

Let's hear from you, how do you personally identify intelligent people when you see them?

intelligence is not by measure of the question you ask boss, you intelligent base on how decisive you are, and you can never be without proper level of knowledge, what makes a robot intelligence is the predictive analysis, making decision base on repetitive events... Acquiring knowledge and applying is simply intelligence... All the best to you oooo...

Where did you carry it to?

aribisala0:
Learning cuts across abstract ,concrete and physical e.g learning how to drive, swim , play football, piano or a new language require different aptitudes. Some are good in some areas and blank in others. I know people who are quite intelligent that cannot a driving test after hours of coaching and I know people who learnt to drive with no coaching at all

That is correct bt there is a average level to grade or consider if sm1 is intelligent. talent to do creative stuff, like football, singing, playing the piano doesn't necessary mean intelligence unless it requires critical level of thinking and analysis.

aribisala0:

I carry my intelligence go University nah .

Sheyilola:
Intelligent people are mostly reserved, inquisitive, outstanding and they don’t give up on tackling any problems that comes their way

So, you're saying there's not a single intelligent person in Nigeria?

As a very intelligent person myself, I can tell you that intelligent people are usually very observant, prefers their own company, has a very great wealth of knowledge, always eager to learn more, enjoys intelligence in other people...

One other way to know an intelligent person is by who they are ing for 2023 election.

It's only dullards that s a sickly old man who wants to recruit 50m youths into the army and be feeding them Agbado and cassava.

Johnlegacy57:
Wrong assessment.
I've been in different classes right from primary school to university level and I've discovered that the top students ask the least questions. Most of them go unnoticed.

You are right
They already know where you are heading to before you proceed

SporaD8:
"Intelligent people are learner's, but foo1s are known by multitude of words!"

Those who use insulting words are not intelligent.

thanks.

Depends on WHO is defining intelligence. What is analysis? What does that mean. What is critical level thinking? Those are just words. The question is does literacy change intelligence. What changes when we become literate? Intelligence or something else?
You cannot impose your notion or concept of intelligence on the world.
What is of value in one era or society might not be in another
Without an agreed definition of intelligence which is impossible across cultures , we would be going round in circles.
I wonder whether you have ever studied intelligence either at undergraduate or post graduate level. Have you read the experiments with the Kpelle in Liberia

For me intelligence indicates the ability to use cognitive attributes to solve social problems
Often this involves "creative" breakthroughs which happen not just in music but in science and these are generationally incremental e.g
We got the mobile phone then added cameras, microphones etc
We got the wheel thousands of years before it was put on a shopping trolley .
Are we more intelligent that our caveman ancestors? I do not believe that

jclassiq:


Intelligence should not be confused with academic brilliance. They are two very different things

Intelligence means Capacity of mind, especially to understand principles, truths, facts ormeanings, acquire knowledge, and apply it to practice; the ability to learn and comprehend.
By the above definition the effective way of accessing if someone is intelligence is academic brilliance

LordErrk:


You can't listen and process things you don't understand. Lol

No meaningful question(s) can be asked without listening and processing otherwise such intelligent person will be making a fool of himself.
