| Does age really have anything to do with intelligence?
Posted: 7/19/2006 8:36:35 PM | Younger people has a different mentality towards certain aspects of the situations. Like being more open minded and stuff, which does make us more intelligent sometimes.
The only thing older peoples got on us younger ones are experience, thats about it. | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 8:37:05 PM | | personaly I really doubt there is more wisdom with young people when it comes to relationship...think about it: when you are young you HUNT you dont date...keep that in mind when you talk to the young ones if you dont want to end up tied up to a bed by some college party animals in some remote motel room....lol | |

| the question is too vague
Posted: 7/19/2006 8:45:33 PM | I think the question should be..
is age related to wisdom?
intelligence is the left brain side of the spectrum, which comes from education, and INTUITION is the right brain side of the spectrum, which comes from experience
wisdom is perfect balance
this equation is only 2 dimensional though, as spirituality is a little more complex than I care to deliniate right now- i gotta go party...
:P
for more enlightened wisdom.. send me 29.95 | |

Intelligence includes knowledge, the ability to reason and use logic, as well as certain skills like writing, math etc. Wisdom is the combination of intelligence and life experience and the application thereof to our lifes.
So, operating on the above premise experience, therefore age is a key component in intelligence. We can all come up with examples of how the younger or the older are more intelligent. However, I sure hope that we don't solely use the posters in the POF forums as our sample to draw our inferences from. This is such a small part of the population. Try and look over the breadth of your life experience and pull from the total and not this small slice.
In these forums I have seen both young and old that could not form a sentence or express a cogent thought. I have seen both young and old make asses of themselves, I have seen both young and old impress me with their words and thought process.
Sure my mind is not quite as nimble or quick as it used to be, but the cumulative knowledge and experience of my life combined with a better grasp of my own emotions definitely makes me far more intelligent than when I was young. | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 9:06:43 PM | Yes but cumulative is relative.
I remember when I moved to England many years ago from Africa, and I was talking to
a farmer that I met there and he was the same age as me but he told me he had never
been further than a 20 mile radius from his farm. His knowledge was very limited in
comparison to mine. Conversely I had an aunt who died when she was 54 but she
crammed about a 100 yrs experience into her short life. Sometimes it's in the genes
I think and sometimes its born of experience...but either way...I still say age does not
make for intelligence or wisdom. Its how you USE your years. | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 9:12:25 PM | Experience comes with age, not intelligence. I've seen here young people showing more brain
and maturity level than people way ahead on time.
Is the same like thinking about IQ. Intelligent and intellectual coefficient is not the same.
More than once I've seen people they can write w/difficulty to think. | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 9:12:47 PM | Mr. trouble, well a little -
sorry to break your little bubble, but open mindedness is the world in todays world.
i.e. in the movie 'the yes mans' they pull pranks on major meetings as world trade center reps. all these highly skills professionals didnt even doubt once they were fakes even though they were saying the most ridicules things.
where as when they did a presentation at a college, they got shit thrown on them cause the students thought they were well full of shit because what they said was nonsense.
Capish? | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 9:24:32 PM | The ability to "store" information in or brain is memory. The ability to process that inormation
and apply for results is the intelligence.
How then can you explain the geniuos under 8 yrs old. | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 9:40:30 PM | Actually I think most IQ test scores are a number that is a percentage based on the persons age. ie, if you score a 100, you have an average intelligence for your age, if you have a 120, you are 20% higher than your age, etc. This is based on the precept that as you gain experience in life it is easier for you (in theory) to work through logical problems.
So a 30 year old person with an IQ of 100 is not necessarily going to have the same problem solving skills as say a 9 year old with an IQ of 100.
At least that is how I understand the ratings.
If anyone has a better understanding of this please let me know (unless you are a psychology major, in which case a don't want to hear from you because you are full of shit and only chose psychology as a major because you are about 3 steps beyond the self help book for whatever is wrong with you).

Posted: 7/19/2006 9:54:48 PM | Intellagence no, wisdom yes, for the most part because older people have experance, now sure if you compare someone that has lived a closed life, with someone that has lived alot in a few short years.
Someone on here compaired a guy that lived within a 26 mile area his whole life with someone that traveled the world. Who has more wisdom, well inside that 26 mile radius the man that has lived there, outside that area the person that has traveled. Knowledge isn't shit if you don't use it, I know people that have a whole head of facts but those facts are useless. Is a farmer stupid because he doesn't know Quantium physics, or is the quantium physic professior stupid because he can't run a farm. I know people that don't read and write very well, but they can fix anything, are they stupid. Well you might think so until you need something fixed, and your using your great writing skills to write a check to them.
Where did anybody get all this wisdom, more then likely from someone older then them teaching them, because he has already learned it. But yes a young person can have more knowledge and wisdom then an older person, in certain area's.
I'll tell you one thing I'm a carpenter, I watch and listen to older carpenters to learn my trade better. Yes I listen and watch younger carpenters too, sometimes they come up with a freash idea. And although I'm not young anymore when it comes to life I still listen to my elders, now granted some things have changed and they haven't figured that out and some are just nuttier then hell, but even then there fun to listen too, lol. | |

Posted: 7/19/2006 9:55:02 PM | In nursing we see a simular thing to this...nurses get done with school, some of them honor students...they are not cutting it as a nurse...just don't have it...
So is intelligence the ability to take what we have learned thru our enviornment, experiences, basic knowledge, things we are taught in school...take all of that and critically apply that to life? Therefore does the ability to critically think determine intelligence? I think it does...because you can tell me all day, that the Cardiovascular system runs like this...but when someone has edema in their lower legs what are you gonna do?
Goes hand in hand with experiences with age...you may be 40 years old but what kind of life did you live? Did you just function day to day? Just doing what society expected of you? Basically taking up space and never having anything out of the norm to deal with? Or did you live it to the fullest, taking on every experience possible? Someone who is 40 and did that will be less intelligent than your average 25 year old, who has experience and hard times in life.
So that brings me to my next point...each person looks and values intelligence at a different level...I personally see it as the ability of application from life. You take what was given to you and you deal and do your best and apply it to life!!! To me people who can listen, value a person for their abilities and knowledge and yet maintain their own values and intelligence, or apply what they learned from that other person. Therefore can intelligence be based on being an individual having your own opinions and applying them to life???
Honestly I feel intelligence is the application of knowledge, enviornment, and experiences to life!!!

Posted: 7/19/2006 10:03:31 PM | | With a 137 IQ I still lack the intelligence to discern the value of a pi$$ing contest of this sort toward finding a suitable mate. Maybe one of you young geniuses can enlighten me. You sound like a barnyard full of roosters trying to out strut each other. I still have the advantage on you though. I remember how it felt to be your age. I have that basis for comparison that you acquire only by living. I still wish that I was half as smart as I thought I was when I was in my 20's. The vanity of this thread is astounding. | |

Theon 54 - first of all I don't think you have read many posts on the relationship forums
or you would know what I mean by this.
I have read a few, but I rarely paid attention to the poster's age.
There are some younger posters who are so sharp and understand exactly to the
core about relationships and some older posters are still totally clueless. However the
opposite is true too. AGE has nothing to do with intelligence or wisdom.
But how can we tell how well someone really knows and understands about relationships? I do not even trust so called "relationship experts", all I can say is in what extent I personally agree with a person's ideas and attitudes on the subject. There are some cases of clueless people that are very obvious, but determining who is really "wise" in matter of relationships may be highly debatable. | |
