Levels of Intelligence

I'm R1 so I have to cunt up the place.

Intelligence isn't just one thing; there are many components to it: analytical, imaginative, empathic, and intuitive. I can't pick just one person in my life as 'the most intelligent'.

I literally just had to put the smack down on some gay male elitist rhetoric on FB and of course I scoot over to DL & find this as the first post. *VOMITS*

"Without generalizing..."

*goes on to make ludicrous reductive generalizations that of *course* ranks gay males right at the top*

R2 - I’m so pleased I could assist you in evacuating your stomach.

Are you trying to feel better about yourself, or make others feel bad.

If you can spend time on DL and still believe that gay men are any smarter than most other demographics, I have to question whether you yourself might be borderline retarded, OP.

And to echo r3, how could it possibly NOT be generalizing to say that gay men have the highest IQs? Do you seriously believe that (if it were even valid at all), there are no exceptions to your rule?

Um, have you seen any season of RuPaul's drag race? The average gays are morons, just like the rest of the populace.

OP if we end up with another four years of this fascist regime, you'll find out quick where straight white men rank us & where they would throw us. This type of "ranking groups by intelligence" is dangerous and pretty shitty.

The straight guy fetishists on DL aren't going to like this, OP!

This is only somewhat related to intelligence, but I once read about a study which looked into how extensive the vocabularies of different demographics were. Gay men ranked the highest, after that it was straight women, then straight men and unfortunately lesbians ranked the lowest.

Lesbians are batshit crazy in my limited experience with them. Avoid.

I know plenty of sane lesbians.

R12 - oh yeah! If we’re talking about sanity, lesbians and trans are at the very bottom of the “sane” scale.

1. People without pets

2. Cat people

3. Dog people

4. Ferret people

Not so easy a classification as one would think OP. I'm of the mindset there are different types of intelligence. I'll also add none of the lesbians I know are at the bottom of the barrel. They're all smart, accomplished professionals, and they're always reading.

Some I'm close with aren't particularly verbal, or glib conversationalists, but being verbal, or a wordsmith isn't always indicative of superior intelligence.

Look at tech and science people: they often struggle to express themselves, speak slowly, and are accused of speaking in a monotone voice. Three I can call to mind as examples are Jack Dorsey, Lex Fridman, and Mark Zuckerberg. All three are far above average intelligence, despite their verbal deficits.

This has been studied. Gay men are the third highest IQ demographic.

1. Ashkenazic Jews 2. East Asians 3. Gay males

R9 Stop with the SJW hysteria. There is nothing "dangerous" about it. Much more dangerous to remain ignorant about scientific facts. And Liberal belief systems are extremely dangerous.

IQ measures cognitive ability, not wisdom or maturity.

No one said IQ measures wisdom or maturity, r19.

but it's always a good reminder, r20
