There are all kinds of intelligence. Computational, emotional, spacial etc. In reality it is almost impossible to determine if one individual generally judged to be "normal" is more "intelligent" than another. Some judge intelligence by the amount of material wealth somebody has made. Others by how skillfully they use their language and/ or numeracy and communication skills. Some criminals are highly intelligent. They are usually the ones that don't get caught. Others are just rat cunning. Some judge those who can successfully pursue peace and harmony in their community are seen by some as intelligent. Others see them as naive. A great example is the political extremes. Many far right wing people see the far left as all stupid..and vice versa from the far left. In the final analyis it just all comes down the bell shaped curve..with everything. A Small
percentage of us are frighteningly bright. Another equally small percentage are very intellectually disabled. Most of us fall within one standard deviation of dead centre on the curve. The rest is just a matter of opinion. And we all have that.

Re: Intelligence

For a very long time now, I have maintained that everyone is a genius at something, but only a very rare few actually get to be in a position to develop that genius. Eg. There might be millions of people who would be a genius at playing the piano, but circumstances means that only a handful of them get to have access to one, of whom even fewer have the opportunity to develop their prowess.

Totally agree. Actually I think most of us could play blues guitar like Eric Clapton, Paint like Picasso or play cricket like Bradman. If!..we had the opportunity, the right teacher, the drive and the inclination. I knew a Downs Syndrome kid that could do maths at senior high school level. There are no rules. Just generalised guide paths. Every individual is different.

The collective IQ of both countries rose as a result of him moving back to the UK, did it not?
