Thread: Dylexia And Intelligence

Yaaaaayyyy ^____^

I am dyslectic. However, just because I suck at spelling and such, doesn't mean I am smarter. I doubt there is a correlation between dyslectic and intelligence. Maybe dyslectic just gets noticed faster with smart people. Also, what is the real difference with smart people that suck at spelling and smart people that suck at math? Why isn't there a word for that?

Anyhow.

Left-handed people also are all genius!!1 Leonardo da Vinci was left-handed! So was Einstein!!11 Ect.

Also, what is the real difference with smart people that suck at spelling and smart people that suck at math? Why isn't there a word for that?[/b]

Their is it called mathlexia.

A better question is are people with savant disorder intelligent?
I would say yes.

1. Eintein is a dyslexic
2. Genius is genetic
Theirfore
3. Dylexia equals genius[/b]

If you're being serious, this is flawed logic, I'm afraid.

Dyslexia and IQ are probably unrelated. (I'm agreeing with Neruo again&#33

Thats my point that you can't judge intelligence by how good somebody writes.

Point taken.

IQ tests are racist or biased so they can't measure intelligence. So I can't see how you can possibly determined someones intelligence.

Actually, IQ tests only measure the problem solving element of intelligence. There are many other forms of intelligence as I'm sure you realise. How are IQ tests "racist of biased"?

Cultural biased is strong in IQ test. Unless you get a really abstract test like pattarns. If it can only do problem solving elements then wouldn't a IQ test be a poor measure of intelligence. We still left with a crappy measure of intelligence that is heavily culturally biased.

As I said, IQ tests aren't exactly a measure of intelligence, as such, but a measure of the ability to problem solve. And a large portion of IQ tests involve patterns. Can you please explain why IQ tests are culturally biased? I don't quite understand.

Your logic is made of flaw and fail. Seriously. Because terrorists are human and terrorism is done by human beings, are all human beings terrorists, and do all human beings commit acts of terror?

Let me put it this way:
1+5 = 6, but 6 isn't always 5+1. It can be 4+2, 3+3, etc.

Because Einstein was dyslexic doesn't mean dyslexia makes you a genius. Because a car is red doesn't mean all cars are red.

Oops, I'm afraid wendylove already cleared that point....it was made on purpose.
Anyway, I'm becoming dyslectic too!...I dunno how it happens but it happens...
I don't think we should realate the way you write to your intelligence, I think it's turning the problem the other way round...(like thinking that all the worse school pupils are geniuses)
Though I think you need to be slightly (if not totally) crazy to be a genius...

Uh, no she didn't?

Either way it's flawed logic, so it doesn't matter.

Yes, IQ tests are silly. There isn't a single form of intelligence, there are just about infinitely much forms of it.

Yes, there is some cultural bias (depending on where the test is made and who is taking it), but you seem to just spout that piece of 'information' out.

Your logic astounds me. You, my dear, are an idiotic, arrogant know-it-all, who thinks that she can hide her stupidity behind the guise of "dyslexia" and call it genius.


Learn to spell, too.

Couldn't put it better myself... so I won't.

Alright, let me reply to each of your points.

you are saying that since one dyslexic person was a genius:
a. all dyslexics are a genius OR
b. all geniuses are dyslexic.

I am afraid that makes no sense. That sort of logic is ridiculous, see:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Kaniaz)</div>

1. Fish don&#39;t have legs. 2. Fish live in the sea. 3. Therefore, all amputees live in the sea.

1. Birds have wings. 2. Birds peck seed. 3. Therefore, aeroplanes peck seed.[/b]

You also said that IQ tests are biased. This is incorrect. IQ has nothing to do with general knowledge and a real IQ test will not ask you any questions related to general knowledge. Intelligence and knowledge are different. A good IQ test will test various different aspects of intelligence: spatial intelligence, mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, not just the single one.

The reason people think you are unintelligent is not your typing: it is the fact you are a prat.

Come on now, that was uncalled for. Keep personal disputes out of the public forums please.

Why are you personally disputing with me?

Einstein was only a "genius" because he kept different parts of his mind active, by reading, playing instruments and other stuff.

Excuse me?
There was no need for that whatsover, however wrong the original post was it didnt contain any malice and certianly didnt warrant a response like that.
the logic is awful, a number of members told the topic starter that.
But there was no need to be offensive.

Mature a little.
