You can't teach intelligence, situational awareness, sensitivity, or problem solving. Those are all naturally defined traits.

You can impart onto a child why they should value these aspects, and they may gain an understanding of them, but if they only possess a low amount of raw "talent" (or none at all) they will always be at a disadvantage against someone with more, regardless of how much time they spend gaining knowledge.

That's teaching.

That's teaching.

We're talking about two different things.

I'm talking about explaining to a child why intelligence is important, defining it in a way the child understands, but that doesn't necessarily mean the kid will have a generous amount of it. We have a guy at work with a 105 IQ and Asperger's syndrome. He is largely useless, but he can learn basic steps to poke around in Windows and can memorize facts. He is horrible at any kind of on the fly problem solving because his raw processing power just isn't there.

Intelligence, as I'm referring to it, is your natural ability to process, not the facts or skills you learn.

This isn't even touching on the other natural talents that we normally associate with someone being "smart". Charisma, empathy, sensitivity, linguistics, all factors we measure and attach to "smart people".

Exactly.

Traits are not something we can chose ourselves through teaching. A persons best traits will be the same best traits when they die.

I know his because I conducted a whole class on strengths and traits for work.

You can teach both. I can teach someone how to reason, I can teach someone how to comprehend, I can teach someone how to apply their knowledge. Intelligence can be taught.

No, you're misusing the word. But you're a foreigner, so its ok.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

I always put points to strength and endurance before I put them to intelligence

Yeah there is a level of intelligence that people are born with. Some can learn quicker than others. However a person can change from being a slow learner, to a quick learner, with the right teaching.

Hey retarded Fred, let's teach you physics at an accelerated rate. We will teach you how to do it!

Many people think of the brain as a mystery. They don't know much about intelligence and how it works. When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb — and stays that way for life.

But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.

Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. A person who can't lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time. That's because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise. And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink and you get weaker. That's why people say "Use it or lose it!

But most people don't know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.

Inside the cortex of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells, called neurons. The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.

When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more that you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow. Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do — like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra — seem to become easy. The result is a stronger, smarter brain.

Sometimes I wonder how you are an atheist.

I just wonder how she doesnt fall down more

I just wonder how she doesnt fall down more

Her lack of boobs gives her incredible balance.

 

[Duke]

Statistically speaking, there is absolutely no difference between and good parents and mediocre parents, as far as raising a successful, functioning adult. As long as Duke isn't buttfucking your child, nature wins every time. So what you think is right really doesn't matter.

That's total deflection









We all know you're the kid toucher.

 

[my little brony]

I always put points to strength and endurance before I put them to intelligence

if charisma ends up being your dump stat and you still manage to beat the campaign, you need a better DM

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

If your charisma is too low, they party wont stay with you in times of danger

The difference is going to be arguably academic, and I'd like to see what type of testing they did to determine this.

This is the same apologetic nonsense as "standardized tests are bad because even though all children learn differently they are still beautiful and special geniuses"
