That's me too LD. I often sit there thinking ''come on, surely you know that answer'' on the Chase, but blow me if I can ever work out how to switch the TV on with using two remotes cos of all the different facilities and buttons that have to be pressed. DOH!

Re: Intelligence

Actually I do bend toward fluid intelligence from time to time. Usually in the form of a Jack Daniel's with ice or a nice cold Toohey's Old (dark beer)

There are all kinds of intelligence.

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.
Very insightful- thank you!

OK then. Is it when someone appears initially intelligent until challenged to take something further and then they come up short and have no depth to their intelligence?

Re: Intelligence

It is a natural state, and maybe a state of great happiness.

No pretence.
