I don’t think honour has anything to do with iq
but maybe the American idea of honor..btw I’m currently watching Gossip Girl lol
these are interesting points @

theoretically you should be able to guess your iq without a test, I base my own on the fact I did some sort of test at 11, and based on that test they put me in a group for 125 plus, it was just some initiative where you were supposed to go to events outside of school, but I didn’t go. I think I knew who else was in the group at school and i know who was smarter than me lol, and I know I’m just about in the group lol.
So you could always do a test, but simply as a guide and then work out the real number yourself (I think it is good for a poor kid to know their iq..) or at least have teachers that recognise their intelligence
and I think people can look 10 points higher or lower depending on ‘privileges’ or like if you’re depressed you could look much lower
btw I think the guy I fell for was 132. I knew he was different lol. (I can’t help it teaching is somewhat in my blood and a good teacher should know a person’s innate potential intelligence).
I remember asking the guy if he liked school and he said he didn’t, he was SEI so maybe he was lying, but maybe not, and he did go to a good school, from what I hear. It made me think how a couple of people on here have seemed quite modest about their intelligence, maybe they’re just modest but maybe they weren’t supported at school so didn’t realise how smart they were. Or they’re so smart they just don’t need to prove themselves to anyone lol. I read that there are special programs for kids with iq above 130 in U.S.
in the UK we have some grammar schools, (academically selective, some state funded, some not). I had thought you had to get 125 to get in but recently read 121..other kids will go to private schools
I also read recently that average Oxbridge score is 122.5 so lower than one might expect
sad to think that high iq people marry high iq people, and this particular form of privilege never really disappears, the fight for equality never dies..
