ADHD=Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Help me plz!
So you're trying to say my level of intelligence is low?

Re: Help me plz!
I thought it was obvious, since (if I may say so), I believe I am more mature than you.

Re: Help me plz!
Actually, the implications was that I knew that ADHD was something to do with attention. I have no doubts that your intelligence, measured in any way, I'm sure, is a high one indeed.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Important: Intelligence and knowing facts are two separate things.
An encycopedia has more facts than anyone could possess, but it is not intelligent.
I have taught accountants, engineers and managers how to use computers - they look pretty silly hitting the wrong keys and not knowing how to open a doucment, but I never think they are dumb. They just lack information about computers.

I agree. There isn't really any good way to measure intelligence.
I don't think that IQ is a good indication either, because it is measured with aptitude tests which only really test your logic.

Re: Help me plz!
I think IQ tests work fairly well. Testing a person's logical thinking can be equated to testing his intelligence. Logic relates to drawing inferences from available information. But logic can be funny too. This is syllogism.

Re: Help me plz!
I think modern researches are saying there are different intelligences
A magazine had some "intelligence tests" in it, and a friend and I were doing all those "what is the next shape" puzzles. His wife said "I don't understand those at all". The next page had a test involving faces and names - you had 30 seconds to memorize them, his wife looked at them for a short while and said "go on, turn the page". She got every one right, and I and my friend hardly got any!

Re: Help me plz!
Aha, that proves something. What about natural, inherited talents, though? Could they be classed as different types of intelligence?
