Dear me kids, i leave you to your own devices for an afternoon, and this thread gets turned into a slanging match and a GCSE results competition.

And niether does having alot of experince thru work!

It takes a combination a education, experience, and general living. U have to take a holistic viewpoint.

I never once said work experience had anything to do with intelligence?

agreed, good thread about something worthwhile for once, totally sideswiped by pointless wank.

children of rave sort yourselves out!

I agree

exams aren't a true test of intelligence. a friend who is the HR director for a multinational firm told me that they never employ people with a first class degree.
just because people don't go to "red brick unis" and didnt get "4 high grade Alevels" doesnt mean that people arent intelligent.

posting on a clubbing message board does not = a life

we're all happy with who we are, snack, but who do you want to be? you're forever trying to prove how intelligent you are on here and how you do this and that, but you come across as very shallow.

True. Im only geekin cos im at work.

I still think that results are some measure of intelligence.
Its true that u need more than just a degree nowadays tho.....thats probly why they dont hire people with firsts becasue they havent had the time to fully develop their cv.
As well as having a decent degree from a decent uni, your expected to have lots of extra curricular stuff 2.
So i guess education isnt the deciding factor in getting a good job

hard house & intelligence is possible. i'm a prime example

Me 2

i have amazing exam results however i'm thick as pig shit. go figure?

Education gives u knowledge, what u gain from this knowledge and how u use it is intelligence

Thats a really good analogy

thats complete bollocks, knowledge does not give you intelligence, thicky

I never said knowledge directly gives u intelligence tho, but it is a big part of it

If u dont have any knowledge then surely your not intelligent?

an so is what you jus put!

btw is IQ an accurate determinant of intelligence?

or is it jus bollox?

any1 know?

Don't know if these are the proper definitions, but as far as i'm concerned:

Knowledge = knowing lots of things, e.g. dates, facts, numbers etc.

Intelligence = actual brainpower, being able to work things out, use logic etc

I think knowledge comes more from the memory part of the brain, ie where the brain retains all the information it receives. Intelligence on the other hand come from the deductive part of the brain, where solutions are worked out and problems solved.

Don't know if this is correct, just my 'educated' guess.
