Specifically, it measures concentration, memory, verbal skills, and mathematical aptitude. Indeed, the most successful people in the U.S. are those who concentrate in school, memorize information, and score well on their SATs. These are the people who get into the best colleges and eventually get the best jobs. We therefore come to see them as intelligent.Quote:

That presumably requires a set of skills that aren’t measured by the westernized IQ test such as: resilience, instinctual grit, physical toughness, etc. If you placed a Harvard graduate in the middle of the Sahara with no food or water, he wouldn’t be “intelligent” enough to survive. At the same time, the savviest people in the undeveloped world might not even know how to read and wouldn’t be considered “intelligent” by Western standards.
So, who are the intelligent people in the world? That depends on where you ask the question, because the “intelligent” people in the uk have nothing in common with the “intelligent” people in other places.
So if you think you are not, you might be somewhere....
but if in your mind your not, than your not and you will never be, until you are !!!
so maybe you should go to somewhere...
