Do you understand how averages work? There are outliers.So as a South African, are you more to the 74 side or to the 83 side?
Please enlighten me. And where do you see yourself on the scale?Do you understand how averages work?
The colours indicate the country falls within the 74-83 average IQ range. South Africa's average IQ is 77. You can have a lower or higher IQ than the range or the average...Please enlighten me. And where do you see yourself on the scale?
1st of all there are valid concerns on the IQ test and how it was used.Do you understand how averages work? There are outliers.
There are always concerns for just about anything. Especially when people score lower than what they expect. Then the test is obviously the problem and not the person.1st of all there are valid concerns on the IQ test and how it was used.
It depends on your upbringing and morals instilled.2ndly Integrity and honesty has nothing to do with Intelligence, you get very intelligent thieves and fraudsters.
Please enlighten me. And where do you see yourself on the scale?
Then why bring it up?It depends on your upbringing and morals instilled.
Haha this thread is about Ithuba and money laundering. You took a wrong turn somewhere...Then why bring it up?
If you are taught in a language you dont understand and then get tested in that language you would also do poorly. There is a thread about teaching in a child mother tongue, I brought up what is currently happening in (previously coloured only) schools where black kids are entering these schools and are not able to speak English. Teacher are teaching, one black kid then translate to the rest of the class. Teacher is not sure if the kid is translating accurately and whether or not the other kids understand.
I will give you another example, imagine if English is a third language, and you have to take a test in American English, just the different terminology can trip you up. For Example Stock: in SA it means the products a company sells and keeps in the stores/warehouses, whilst in USA it means Company Shares.
No I did not, I simply raise the point where is he on the scale, why, because intelligence and integrity is not related, he is convince of it and so are you, since you like his post.Haha this thread is about Ithuba and money laundering. You took a wrong turn somewhere...
