>>1894659>I am assuming you know basic statistics from here on outno my man, not at all. but you gave me a pretty good starting point to look further into this myself. after my afternoon nap that is. but from what i can gather from your post, IQ is racist. the worst kind of racism - impartial.
>>1894670it's probably a case of me not fully understanding what "verbal IQ" means.
see, i always thought that being able to express yourself well in a language you don't know was a matter of confidence and self conciousness. whenever i try to speak a language other than english i don't use even a fifth of my actual vocabularly for the language since i'm not sure if the words fit the same way as they do in bulgarian or english and i'm afraid of sounding retarded.
for example if you asked me for the time and i told you it was "five without ten", which is how you say ten to five in bulgarian, i'd sound fucking retarded and there's only a 50% chance you'd even understand me. whenever i try to speak romanian or serbian or russian i'm very concious of things like this so it keeps me from using the words i know and sticking to basic phrases and idioms i'm sure of.
so i assumed people who can sound clever and creative and shrewd like you said just don't have that problem and just spout off literally everything they know. didn't know it had anything to do with verbal IQ.
