    Do you believe in IQ?

    .. let me also say this.. Your I.Q or any act of volition is apart of your identity.. this is unavoidable.... BUT whatever the number.. high or low..it has NOTHING to do with your intrinsic self-worth.

    Do you believe in IQ?

    so so so weird.... I will say it another way.. It scientifically measures your ability to abstract which is the fundamental cognitive process for learning, judging, inferring, reasoning, planning, conceptualizing, etc., in relation to other people.

    Do you believe in IQ?

    The measurement of intelligence..well ... A test attempts to constrain some aspect of reality and measure your current performance against those constraints. An I.Q. test attempts to simulate all aspects of reality that require abstraction to solve and measure your performance. The overall...

    Do you believe in IQ?

    This is sad.. I am not sure what you mean by "high punctuation" but I assume it is safe to say you received an I.Q. score that is much higher than average. Why is this sad.. well..self-depreciation is often used to attempt to make others feel better at the cost of oneself.. but i find this to...

    The Invention of Lying

    The title of the article that you listed as evidence in support of your claim negates it. What i mean by that is simply "most people" isnt "all people". However, it looks like an interesting article to read. Thanks Sabrina.

    The Invention of Lying

    Hi Sabrina This categorical proposition is simply not true. It can also at the extreme be the reason why ones social relations are non-existent. Both telling the truth and telling a lie come with a cost as does everything else in life. Are you comfortable with your relationship with your...

    Is anyone else trying to learn a new language?

    My condolences. The little I know of the amazing person I have the pleasure of talking with now, propels me to say, without a doubt, she would be proud. Interesting. I asked thinking about the influence of culture/socialization has on how you expresses your self in each language; language being...

    Is anyone else trying to learn a new language?

    Amazing! My mother tongue is English and I only know very basic mandarin. Maybe 2000 words or so thus far but I decided to learn mandarin in part because of its inherent difficulty as a native English speaker. It hasn't disappointed. The hardest part for me has been listening comprehension...

    Is anyone else trying to learn a new language?

    Nice. English, German, what are the other three? I never heard of this. Thanks for the resource. Good ol Peppa Pig. I prefer Crayon Shin-Chan. You can find it in german. The content is more geared towards adults and funny.

    Is anyone else trying to learn a new language?

    哪里哪里。你太过奖了。我同意。汉字有很多历史意义。"好好学习 天天向上.“..你知道毛将军说过这个吗? 还有， 你知道 ”你吃了吗“ comes from a time in south china where people did not have much food to eat. 很有意思。

    Is anyone else trying to learn a new language?

    是啊。去年我开始学习中文但是我的中文水平仍然很低。因为我的母语是英语，所以学习汉语很困难。还有我自己学的。我开始学习中文的时候我通过看YouTube视频和读中文书学习中文。 Yes. I started to learn Chinese last year but my Chinese level is still very low. Because my mother tongue is English, it is very difficult to learn Chinese and I learned it myself. When I started learning...
