People good at math = smart ones?

Seriously now.

The only intelligent people I know are the ones that are good in math. Every professor I had in my life, either in anything math-related or not, was (I eventually got to know) good in math.

So this brings me one old idea, that isn't as wrong as people thought. IQ tests really tell how intelligent someone is, it doesn't matter what other people say about the existence of other "intelligences", it's bullshit. The only intelligent conversations I ever had were with people with high IQ. So fuck the other ones.

Do you people agree?


PS: What do you guys think about this idea: an alien invasion that tests everyone's IQ and kills everyone below 120?

>Artistic - Creating beautiful art is something only humans can do.  And it's because we're intelligent.  The spacial awareness and creativity are not gauged by IQ

What is beautiful art to you? Do you call modern "art" real art?

Cause I don't, those stupid fags make some drowing that they, and the only other - instructed by them - persons, apreciate. Saying something that doesn't make sense (AT ALL) and acting superior to others as if it did is a stupid thing to do, and that goes to post-modern artists too (there was a xkcd comic about that).

>Bodily-kinesthetic - I know you nerds don't like to admit it but it takes brain power to do what athletes and highly coordinated people do.

That isn't intelligence, it takes concentration. Any animal can do stuff like that, that's not a human privillege, therefore, not intelligence.

>INTRAPERSONAL - This is huge, and is not indicated by IQ in any way.  You have no idea how many math "geniuses" I've spoken to who were complete morons when it came to this and common sense.
>The reason many people with high IQs are smart in all categories is because of the g-factor.  However there are exceptions to every rule.  For every "stupid" person I've met who was incredibly interesting to talk to, I've met a genius who was a complete douche bag.

Ok, now maybe you said something that I can consider being valid. But as you are saying: "geniuses" are incredibly interesting to talk to (taking away the loosely stupid ones) and "non-geniuses" are stupid (again, taking away the exceptions)

I rest my case.



tl;dr- the guy above said the same thing that I (the OP) did, xcept he didn't realise it, IQ tests ftw
