IQ test were unable to identify people with brain damages. These brain-damaged people reacted very normal, normal IQ, or intelligent, although they had very big physical damage in the brain making the guy unable to play a game card or any other card game where you have to decide when you have enough cards. This can be read by Damiaso. Also Arno Gruen has found out that crazy people have normal IQ values. The question is : WHAT do you really measure. In fact you do not measure how intelligent somebody is, in fact you do measure HOW DIFFERENT somebody uses his 2 brain-halves and sub-divisions of his brain. It is known that girls do normally more use their right brain halve (if she is right-handed) meanwhile boys do more often use their LEFT brain halve. The logic center is in the left brain halve, also the center in charge for ego and will and the survival-will. The right brain halve uses another logic. It works complementary and mainly associative and is in charge for the images, analogies, feelings and intuition. The right brain halve is not using WORDS. It is using IMAGES. The left brain halve COUNTS and MEASURES. The right brain halve can feel if something is wrong without counting or finding out. Musicians and painters do normally more often use right-brain part. We have much data from split-brain and other clinical-situations. Whatever you measure, it is not intelligence at all. It is a different USAGE of the brain. You cannot say the higher value = more intelligent and lower value = less intelligent. It means: higher value = left-brain-IQ. lower value = less left-brain-activity. ONLY my 2 cents. I like this topic much. I completely understand why girls don't like computerchess or chess in special. I understand them completely. I do not like the specific BEHAVIOURs of males in these field too. >e) If somebody uses this kind of research to justify racist positions, >that's also another fact. We cannot stop short in any kind of debate >just because there is people willing to use something for backing his >political positions. Should we stop chemical research because people >like Husseim can hire a guy to produce mass destruction weapons? >ANYWAY END BESIDE, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THIS ISSUE, FOLK. I have no interest in rassistic or sexistic discussion. My point of view is that female are more intelligent than males. But the WAY of their intelligence is much different than ours. Therefore we call girls normally stupid. I don't think this fair.
