What about the IQ, doesn't that measure intelligence? Its a combination of logic, spatial and language measurements. | |

| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/4/2006 7:18:00 AM | unintelligent well to me basically stupid behaviour, self destructive behaviour, proper use of any lnguage doesnt mean your stupid just means u havent got a firm grasp on the language in question,and just because u do have proper grammar skills doesnt make u intelligent, just well versed, which isnt the same thing either.this thread is vague because it doesnt go into details about what the op terms as unintelligent, im in alberta and i work up in fort mac and the oil sands projects. and i see engineers and highly educated people making simple spelling mistakes and grammar errors, does this make them unintelligent? whats green in one mans eyes is blue in another, i think u have to find someone on your own level and with your own intersts to b able to decide whos intelligent or not as they say stupid is as stupid does intelligence isnt what u know its what you do with what u know, and in the end some of the stupidest people on earth have been the wealthiest and most outgoing people in history,look at adam and eve how intelligent was he to eat that apple, or listen to a woman and they didnt even have a guide for stupidity at that time lol | |

I am so much better at showing how to lead undertrained, underequipped, and outnumbered soldiers through a battlefield than Statistics(the course). | |

Hey I have a test in mine to be sure some one reads my profile before the email. | |

| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/4/2006 9:54:30 PM | An unintelligent man ..is a window washer who is on the 44th floor and stands back to admire his work.. | |
|
| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/4/2006 9:57:47 PM | | Someone who is narrow-minded, judgemental, racist, sexist, and treats people without respect. Intelligence comes in so many forms it would be difficult to establish parameters. It is much easier to establish parameters for the unintelligent. Thanks for this thread, it is a good one! | |

| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/4/2006 9:58:52 PM | An unintelligent woman is one who dates a guy in prison.
An unintelligent man is one who thinks he is the best lover in the whole world. | |

Not that I have...but that sounds like you are being judgemental ..not providing an answer to the question....besides ..have you never made a mistake??? | |
|
| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/4/2006 11:08:06 PM | | (I have dated someone who has been in prison a few times. Well, he has been out for a bit. He might end up back there; who knows.) | |

| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 3:06:32 AM | OK I'll take the bait.....

| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 6:20:01 AM | First sign of an unintelligent person to me is someone who uses TONS of internet slang in e-mails and such. For Example. OMG, you Rulez! God, my opinion of a person goes down pretty quick when I see that.
Another one is someone who can't hold an adult conversation without getting completely lost.
There are tons more, but those are the two that stand out in my head at the moment. | |
|
| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 6:27:10 AM | Are we talking unintelligent as lack of education or are we talking about Lack of common sense?
If its lack of education I can tolerate that, cause nothing is more educational rhwn life itself. Some of the smartest people I know was high school drop outs. Now lack of common sense is a totally diffrent story, no patience for them what so ever, can not stand to be around them. Common sense is free and easy to obtain. | |

| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 6:56:59 AM | | Supposedly intellectuals who blindly follows the Nazi's prosecution of jews shows a lack of good judgement. Perfect example that a supposed intelligent person can behave very stupidly. | |
|
| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 6:57:24 AM | Simplest answer: enjoyed Forrest Gump!
to angie--intelligence has nothing to do with good intentions
to grinch--you left women with a pathetically short list. how about simone de beauvoir, anais nin, susan sontag, virginia woolf, eleanor of aquitane, katherine the great, lucretia borgia, you get the idea. | |
|
| Unintelligent Men Posted: 6/5/2006 7:00:19 AM | Intelligence? Who?, wha? Whe" OMG, LMAO,BTW uh, I forgot where I was going with this. Oh yeh, Someone said earlier that one mans blue is another mans green or something like that. I think intelligence is being able to see the blue in the green. To be able to look at life and problems from another angle. To see different perspective than the ones that are set in stone by so many of us since childhood. But it's all relative. I've noticed alot of attention is placed here on intelligence. So many seek it, but so few grasp it. Being kind to one another is much more important than being intelligent.
Hey Good morning everyone.

| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 7:10:47 AM | Besides many obvious signs:
I see a lack of thought process from people who toot their own horns and don't realize how awful it makes them look.
People who run and hide behind excuses rather than face the real reason they are single, unemployed, overweight, etc.... | |
|
| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 7:18:09 AM | | also, intelligent people think The Da Vinci Code is the silliest eyewash--seriously, open laughter and hearty jeering at Cannes.... | |
|
| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 7:22:37 AM | intelligence has many forms... not all of it includes any common sense. There are those who are intellectuals... who are more concerned with theory and not facts... those with high IQ's who are lazy... those with average IQ's and high EQ's (emotional intelligence) also you have to consider someones charater as they can be very smart but con men and crooks (just look at enron and world com CEO's) not to mention all the attorneys out there who are very inteeligent... yet skim facts and twist things to confuse people to profit often sending some very bad people back into society.
Ted Bundy... a serial killer was said to be very smart as most serial killers are thought to have high IQ's... but this does not make them good people.
I would take someone with average intelligence (book smarts) and HIGH common sense anyday. Most all true intellectuals I have known are void of much common sense. Many I feel might drown in a heavy rainstorm... not having enough sense to get out of the rain. | |
|
| Unintelligent Men and Women Posted: 6/5/2006 7:23:11 AM | An unintelligent person to me is someone who judges a book by its cover.
An unintelligent person would cross me and think that there wouldnt be any consequences.
That person would also think they could wreck a structure thats ben there for years, and have all my friends turn on me ......silly person.
That person is also rude, and dosnt care about anybody or anything but themselfs. | |
