Where did he get his information from? sounds like something he thinks, but hasn’t researched actual facts. Maybe some people cheat. The people I know with advanced degrees worked hard to get them, did the studying and the research.

IQ is only one measure of “smartness.” You could have a high IQ but not have learned much in school, so you would not be as well informed as a professor, nor have his/her ability to think.

IQ tests are very controversial. They can be up to 10 points off in either direction and can often change through out one’s life. A lot is also dependent on what you have been exposed to as well, not really your intelligence.

As for the professor. They know more than you do about the subject they are teaching…which is why they are teaching it to you. This doesn’t mean that they necessarily have more common sense (which is the most needed quality of any person in any field or subject), but it does mean they know more about what they are teaching.

Most professors have great credentials both from being in a classroom (degrees) as well as real world experience, I would hardly say that most have cheated their way through college.

I do have a beef with many professors though. Nearly all are experts in their field and extremely knowledgeable, but few know how to really teach. I noticed this while in college and found that the majority of my professors that really knew how to teach, were my professors in my education (teaching) classes.

As for your boyfriend, to put it bluntly, it sounds like he needs to get his head out of his you know what.

The fact that you don’t have the logic to answer such a simple question negates you being smarter than the vast majority of faculty.

There are 5 year olds with a higher IQ than me because it is based on your learning capacity compared to those of the same age. But to find a 5 year old that is smarter than me is unlikely.

Most people like to make faculty appear less smart so that it justifies their own laziness and ineptitude. It doesn’t mean that he’s wrong, but I would bet that he is.

Not really an answer but some questions – seeing as you have a high IQ!

– How do you know you have a higher IQ?

– What difference does it make if you need them to impart you with knowledge?

– What is the value / relevancy of a high IQ if the person possessing it has less knowledge than someone with a lower IQ?

Some government agencies now use a multitude of tests, given they aren’t as culturally biased (they still are conducted in English / require word knowledge – harder for ESL) and better reflect the range of intelligences (given there are 8) as well as personality tests (which seem to better reflect life learning / skill acquisition).

Lastly, I’m sure your IQ is higher than mine, but fortunately I’m able to use the knowledge I have to make my own decisions – also a test of intelligence (even bad decisions if you learn from them – before someone calls me out on this).

Your bf is incorrect. (Hint: Based on what statistical sample is he relying? What? He doesn’t know anything about statistics? Surprising. I learned about it in college).

If you think the correct standard for measuring intelligence is indeed IQ, then yep, you’d be smarter. But believe me, IQ isn’t a good standard (or even a good and objective test).

The answer to your first question is – yes. You could very well be ‘smarter’ than a college professor but it does not mean that you have the same amount of knowledge.

Feminism is a theory I surely have concern helping because it fairly is. i’ve got faith that each and every physique races and genders of folk must be equivalent. And it style of feels like singling out a race or gender to look for particular alterations that attempt to stability the scales basically added separate us as human beings. equivalent freedom to do something you want (interior the regulations of the guidelines of guy and technology) already exists. Somethings are extra troublesome to a girl vs a guy, and vice versa, and surely we don’t want to get rid of the variations that define gender, can we? every person, guy and lady, have subjective perspectives and innovations in line with however has been printed to them through human beings through books and media. it is not brainwashed, it fairly is incomplete documents. How generally do human beings, specifically, look for out understanding to locate each and every of the assistance to base their determination? they might in no way relax. And who would desire to be relied directly to hold collectively each and every of the mandatory assistance on a particular concern with out bias or involuntary omissions, saving us the time of finding? If basically there replaced into some thank you to get rid of the impact of money from society with out changing issues too plenty…

No, it does not. Lots of autistic and mentally challenge people have very high IQ”s. There is your answer.

no i dont think so. i’m sure he/she has more experience in life than you think. an iq test does not test common knowledge. you have much to learn. we all do.

I don’t know anyone personally that cheated their way through college.
