Mutley Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thus if you come from a higher class background ergo your IQ must be high? Rubbish. Some of the stupidest people I've ever met were born into money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtrotlima Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I have never heard so much shite in my life. I live my life the way I see fit with an IQ of 189. Most friends wouldn't think so and that suits me to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnieK Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 This story is pretty much just a publicity stunt, and it's telling that the author of the paper works in the field of evolutionary psychology (the same maligned discipline that brought us, amongst other ludicrous headline grabbing claims, the prediction that the working and upper classes would split into sub species). With regard to the actual claim, most of the arguments that so effectively rubbished The Bell Curve apply to Charlton's bid for attention. In fact, he can't have been unaware of the controversy that erupted around The Bell Curve, or the similarity of its conclusions to his own, making me think that this is nothing but shameless headline grabbing by another hack academic.

Pat Ayres Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 What's all this shit about 'class'. When we northern Europeans get over the whole class thing we can get on with our lives. I've never been tested and don't really care what my IQ is, nor do I regard those with high scores any less than those without. I certainly can say I'm a bit brighter than Mark Thatcher, just as an example of private schoolboy 'intelligence'. How refreshing it would be to see "I've got an IQ of 14 and I am quite happy working in the finance sector." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
