DO YOU AGREE?? Toa maoni.

Do you agree that a bushman in Botswana and a computer scientist in Silicon Valley are both equally intelligent?


Intelligent – capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think reasonably, and to deal effectively with his environment.

IQ test is biased.

Generali
Intra-personal intelligence.. ability to understand ourselves and why we do things. Junguz have v. little of this. Blame it on the hormones, genes, etc..
Linguistic intelligence...the ability to write a book and understand spoken words
Mathematical intelligence...intelligene needed to balance a cashbook, engage in logical reasoning
Musical intelligence...ability to compose a rap, poem, or play piano, guitar,etc
Kinesthetic intelligence...ability to dance, as in shake booty in a proportional manner...in a manner appealing to the eye
Interpersonal intelligence...
ability to understand another person, counselors and psychologists, and i think Milanya have alot of this
Spatial intelligence. ability to reverse and park a car into a crowded parking lot.

If u test a bushman and an American on how to use a computer, the mzungu will win, hands down! But ask them how to find water in the Kalahari Desert and the mzungu will be cluesess.

i agree. they are both intelligent but at different levels. even without using a bushman as an example, a brain surgeon and a mechanical engineer are both intelligent. tell the engineer to perform surgery on a human brain, he wont have a clue. but that doesnt mean he is not intelligent.

[supermann]

intelligence as u percieve it iz relative.

for example:the bristish fleet arrives in africa say in 1601.british captain iz wearing a three piece suit in 40 degree west african heat.he see's natives walking around near nude.they are comfortable coz its scorching hot and having lived in africa forever,they know best.but the three piece suit white man looks at the africans and declares them uncivilised and of lower intelligence.meanwhile he iz sweating profusely.in ur opinion,who iz the idiot?

the chinese had gun powder 2000 years before europeans,the incas ,atzecs and mayans studied astronomy when europeans were primitve vikings up north.and u know about the egyptians.

the bushman eats a root that haz an enzyme that gives the body a feeling of "fullness" so he could go without eating for dayz while he looks for food in the kalahari..the west haz just discovered this and now they want to harness that as a cure for the rampant obesity in america and the so called intelligent societies.

who iz the idiot in ur opinion?

Thanks for mentioning that! Just because I'm an engineer, some people just assume I should know how to fix their broken plumbing or fix their car. I'm an engineer. I deal with manufacturing processes and process control. I don't remember taking a plumbing class or a car repair class in college!

If u need your plumbing fixed, call a plumber. If your car needs fixed, take it to the repair shop. If you have a manufacturing process with a Cpk < 1.67, or if you need to update your process to meet the ISO 9001-200 standards, or if you need to implement the 6Sigma system to your manufacturing processes, then we can talk!

And some idiots keep telling me about some job opening at their company for maintenence, like I wanna do that. A two year college degree, or some form of apprenticeship will get you a maintenance job. As an engineer, the maintenance department's boss will be working for me!

Well, i think all possible answers have already been exhausted. The POTENTIAL for Intelligence i would say is equal in Both ...IQ to me is totally random. That's why you can have a genius born from parents who were blots all their lives. How it is honed however, is cultural which in turn is affected by Geography, Asians DO perform better in math per capita but that's their culture not that their smarter than Whites or Blacks...actually Sweden, of all countries is the best performer in math int the world. So in conclusion, anyone anywhere can be just as intelligent as anybody somewhere else but that is influenced by many factors. It's not an exact science.

Thierry its Finland actually not Sweden. :)

[thierry]

oh ...thanks for that correction.
Hata hivyo Finland na sweden...it's like Kenya?uganda....

Yep majirani.
