Read James Flynn's What Is Intelligence?: Beyond the Flynn Effect. It will do you good. Also Richard Nisbett's Intelligence and how to get it: Why schools and cultures count.

Explain how Africa had some of the biggest civilizations before any other race.

 

You seem to spend a heck of a lot of time here for someone who says they have a life apart from XNXX, from what i can see the only life you have from here is when you sleep.

 

Again, many many years ago, whilst I was in Univesity ... I was tested. It was a requirement to give the Dept. of Psy. human lab rats.
In one area I was out there .......... The tester told me he was not going to use my results because they would screw up his Bell Curve.
I learned way back then that you can alter your results by how you word your Q.'s .......... also the results are open to interpretation.
As for one group of human beings being superior to another ... NOT!

In the early part of the 20th Century the British in their usual genius did a study and decided that Japanese would not be able to fly aircraft because they where carried about by their mothers on there mothers backs ... ??????????????????????????????????????

Need I say more ................................ :rose:

 

What a bunch of BS

What is going on here? This a sex site, right? This is one hell of a place to be arguing religion and politics. Is this what is driving people away from this site? Bye!

 

no it isn't you lousy, dirty, rotten {put your favorite derogatory term for your ideological enemy here}

 

What is your current specialty? Do you do work on commercial property as well as residential? If so, I've got a couple of questions for you.

 

Hey buddy just let me tell you we're the most religious porn site on the internet, and God have mercy on you for saying otherwise.

Or it could be just a Shit Load Of Emptiness, and there is no retribution, life after death, or rational reason to vote Republican. But its not like we're just jacking off the rest of the time if that's what' you're thinking.

 

Someone care to fill me in.

WTF is the bell curve?

 

these are the Bell curves . . .

 

LOL

 

Can you consider that intelligence would be based on education? And if a person, no matter the race, does not have enough education, then that person is less intelligent than another? Given there are examples where this does not become a fact, most famous example being Einstein, who did not complete high school, yet did go on to college.

Now the following link is a chart of drop out rates based on race. The drop out rates is based on 16 to 24 year-olds who are not enrolled in high school and who lack a high school diploma or GED. This is coming from the US Department of Education.

And if you then look at the information regarding college education among races, to further show the education level of the race, to try to explain the intelligence by the race, then you get the following information.

Click on CPS October 2008 Detailed Tables and then click on Table 5, and it will open in Excel.

Make up your conclusion on your own after seeing this information.

 

speciality? OT I will let you guess.....I have only done family homes, the agents make all the money. Residential and commercial differ in use and dollar value of course, some of the methodology is the same. I am no expert if you can pass the state test anyone here can appraise, it's all ethics especially today. Beauty really is in the eye if the beholder, did you see this? http://shine.yahoo.com/event/haven/famous-haven-inside-the-candy-spelling-manor-1005341/ talk about wasteful spending, all for Tori? I would not want this house, it looks like it belongs on a gameboard. +

you're not like Tiger are you? ... yes we could play there or Doral? I am not very good OT, I try. straight up for me... wagering? on the golf course? you supply the balls and I will buy lunch. +

 

sorry, posted in wrong thread

 

Thank you for that link. During much of my life those arguing with me have given my reading lists, saying in effect, "If you read these books, you will see that I am right and I am wrong."

My response has been, "If you have read the books, explain that yourself."

This is what I did get from your link:

------

Nisbett claims that the black-white IQ gap closed by between 4.5 and 5.5 points between 1972 and 2002. This conclusion is based on highly dubious research by James R. Flynn and William T. Dickens. Flynn and Dickens base their estimate of the decrease in the racial IQ gap on a limited sample of IQ studies from the period in question. However, if you look at all the relevant studies, you find that the racial IQ gap has decreased only by 2.1 points...

Nisbett claims the racial gap on the National Assessment of Educational Progress--a group of standardized achievement tests given to samples of American students--has narrowed by 35 percent in recent decades. In fact, blacks gained only 20 percent on whites in the period Nisbett discusses. Moreover, all of this gain took place by the 1980s. Since 1986, the racial gap on the tests has remained steady...

Nisbett claims that reliance on studies of twins from affluent families has caused psychologists to underestimate the effect of environment on intelligence. Heritability, he says, is much higher among affluent families than among poor ones. Since blacks are very likely to be poor, the heritability of their intelligence has been overestimated. In fact, most studies find black IQ scores are just as heritable as those of whites, and many also find equal heritability between rich and poor...

If intelligence were strongly heritable, one would expect blacks with a higher percentage of European genes to have higher IQs. However, Nisbett claims, studies have shown that there is no such relationship. Once again, Nisbett's presentation of the research on this matter is egregiously biased. He dredges up studies from the 1930s to support his case, but fails to mention any research published in the past 20 years! Rushton and Jensen cite several recent studies proving that blacks with a higher proportion of European genes have higher IQs.

 

Gee, I didn't see ANY of that in the link I posted. I'm forced to conclude that those are YOUR comments. Surprise, surprise, you seek to discredit anyone whose views cast doubt on your own.

How come Flynn's research is "highly dubious", but Charles Murray's is rock-solid?

 

Civilization began spontaneously at several locations and times. The two earliest civilizations were the Egyptian, and the Sumerian, in what is now Iraq. These began about five thousand years ago. They eventually became aware of each other, but initially they had no contact. The Egyptians left many mummies, which continue to exist. It is easy to determine from these human remains, that the Egyptians were almost exclusively white. The only Negro civilization in Africa that was not derivative was that of the Ethiopians. This originated about two thousand years after the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations, and achieved much less in the way of science and literature.

 

Since ALL of them decended from African ancestors, where did they get their intelligence, DL?
