I actually didn't contradict anything.

If you have the capacity to learn calculus but never do... That's not as good as actually learning calculus.

But that doesn't mean you don't have the ability to learn calculus.

Edit: Which is why it'd be considered a dubious measurement of intelligence.

Btw Amish Coolio lacks the ability to learn how to not be a jugallo [homophobic slur]

The only thing any test proves is how good you are at taking that test

In my case it was 130

But I'm not a juggalo are a [homophobic slur].

Like, you've strawmanned, poisoned the well, falsely pointed out a contradiction that doesn't exist and continuously insult me because you either don't like or don't get my point.

yeh I was just saying

I don't actually believe that the people who score low have a much higher capacity. At least not relevant to their population.

Maybe not. There's not enough research on how motivation can alter these kinds of results.

However, there is evidence that with proper training you can bring people out of completely different IQ brackets. Such as bringing a low IQ person into the average IQ bracket. Not a lot of research on that too, so who's to say that you couldn't prove that people do have the same capacity outside of brain damage.

The article you citef speed people rising up to 12 points. That's a sizable difference, yes. It's not even nearly the difference between a gifted and a normal person.

Misrepresenting my point to make it seem I think low IQ people are more susceptible to bribe than high IQ people. Strawman.

Saying that I'm just to stupid to understand and claiming that elph only believes the theory to back up his beliefs that everybody is the same is poisoning the well.

Saying I contradicted myself with out saying how.

Calling me stupid or saying I don't know how not to be a juggalo [homophobic slur] is insulting.
