Still only shows potential to learn. Doesn’t mean the person is using it.

so if someone gets every single question correct on the spatial reasoning portion of an wechsler adult intelligence scale test, are you saying that only measures their potential for spatial reasoning rather than their actual spatial reasoning?

Well you are playing with words instead of admitting the point.

So,

Yes. Unless the person has applied it successfully to a larger or more important scale than a mere test. You can’t engineer a bridge just because you test well on paper for it.

I tested well enough to get into medical school like my little brother. Unless I actually practice medicine I have only shown potential even if I can pass the test for licensing.

so if a person passes a test showing they know how to correctly engineer a bridge then they will go on to build a bridge that fails?

that doesn't make any sense, why are whites so confused about the way stuff works?

i've known several people with high IQs, and they were all stupid in some way. they lock themselves out of their houses regularly, because they can't remember to grab their keys. most of them are arrogant, with very little reason. they buy into the cult of intelligence, even though most of them aren't in any better position in life than anyone else. and a lot of them tend to think they are experts about any subject, as long as they've read an article about it at some point. i guess they assume they can extrapolate any information they need from the superficial online article they read 3 years ago..
i'd rather deal with people of average intelligence on most things, they don't get in the way, they don't try to tell you what you're doing wrong, then spend all day trying to come up with a useless elaborate solution to a problem that only exists in their own minds...and they're generally just more pleasant to be around.

so what does 128 iq qualify as? thats what i've tested at on 3 different tests, 120 on one, 128 on another, 134 on the third....cause i don't feel like a genius, but honestly, it hard not to feel smarter than the average bear, most days

Those are high scores.

Forget your keys lately? Maybe had to go back to the store to get something you forgot? Ever have anybody tell you that you are arrogant?

LOL

yes, yes, and no. i get "you're an asshole" "you're a dick" ....even " you cheeky bastard" the other day...but not arrogant....i've had humility ground into me over the last 50 years
and i realize that i've not done the deep study to develop my "high i.q."....so i don't act like i know everything about everything....because i don't.
