Is the education of a person not a factor in his or her intelligence?
If you are proposing that a test be developed that would measure "what if?" intelligence I say more power to you.
With such a test you could tell me my intelligence in any array of possibly situations I might have lived in. Think of it! And the African-Asians..... wow they are in for a shock. Well I suppose Tiger Woods warmed them up for this.
My intelligence as a barkeep in London, 1743 AD
My intelligence as a caveman in the cold recesses of the north, 7000 BC
My intelligence had I been a "Native American" while still living in the Siberia/Mongolia region before moving with my nomadic tribe across the Bering Straight and arriving in North America. Therefore not making me a "Native American" Wait a second..... All humans came from Africa, so that must make me an African American! Ha, listen to those damned African-Europeans not knowing what to call themselves. What ignorance!
Sorry for digressing. My point was just that it is impossible to separate the environment of the individual being tested from the individual h/im/erself. Damn it we need neuter pronouns.
I agree I think the whole point is being missed here.
The real equation to consider is:
B * H / W = Worth as a human being.
Where B is the diameter of the bust, H is the diameter of the hips, and W is the diameter of the waist, taking in to account that H must never exceed B by more than 10% for the equation to be valid.
There are, of course other considerations, this being only one of the battery of physical preportions that will allow one to assess the worth of the female in question.
A person's sex, as we all have noticed, tends to affect the size of that person's body. Men, of course, tending to have the larger frame, also have the larger average size skull. As much as people would like to dismiss this truth, their continues to be a correlation between an individual's skull volume and that particular individual's intelligence as measured by a variety of tests. The strange thing about these findings is that while men with larger skulls tend to be of greater intelligence than men with smaller skulls, and women with larger skulls tend to of greater intelligence than women with smaller skulls, men, as a group having larger skulls, do not tend to be of greater intelligence than women, who as a group tend to have smaller skulls. (that was quite a sentence.) It seems to be the case that women have a greater concentration of "computational" neurons than men, and that men have a greater concentration of "transportational" neurons in any given section of the brain. These neurons could be thought of in terms of processors and memory chips being the computational variety and the transportational neurons being the wires that provide for their communication. These transportational neurons, used for transmitting messages over comparitively larger distances in the brain are of obvious use to men, whose larger neural network require more interconnections in comparison to run at an efficient speed. Women who have been endowed with a larger than average skull manage to avoid the genetic instructions that require resources to be given to the wires rather than the chip, seem to make out with greater computational power, possibly at the expense of a negligable amount of speed.
