I'm very upset with the behaviour of people here..
First of all, let me make a few things clear... I'm interested in "Intelligence". I don't believe it has a limit. I believe it can be grown and developed (yes, the fluid one as well). I believe it has many aspects apart from what IQ measures and I also believe that if a IQ test has an upper limit of x. That doesn't mean there's no more intelligent than x.
I'm interested in Higher Intelligence? Why? Because there's a lot of linear algebra and calculus involved in my job, I love that, it takes a lot of mental effort to understand many algorithms and even more for creating them.. those with more working memory, visuo-spatial ability, pattern recognition ability etc can do that better. That's all I'm interested in and want to talk about.
Whenever I use the term higher intelligence, I'm ridiculed that intelligence isn't everything, and you know the script that follows. If one person says it, that's okay but out of 40 comments, if 35 are just mentioning already known things, that's noise. Many are very condescending as if I'm supposed to feel bad to worry about my ability to understand mathematical concepts.
Whenever I talk about higher IQs, I'm ridiculed about the lack of tests and standardized assessment. Is there a comprehensive test to measure all the your emotions? No. Does emotions exists? Of course they do. It's a subjective experience that objectively people can agree on.
Intelligence is also a subjective experience on which people can objectively agree upon. But the habit of people here ridiculing any questions about higher IQ or higher intelligence is met with a lot of negative criticism nd that affects my mental health. I thought this community would be a better place than classrooms of my childhood or just social groups where we can exchange complex ideas over intelligence but everytime I want to do so, I've to see ~80% of content which asks me change the way how I think and Intelligence isn't everything nd bullshit about tests, which are ultimately just, tests.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm extremely upset with the responses I get here.
