Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Take heart…

You’re not slower, you’re maybe just smarter. 😮

Interesting article on BigThink.com a couple of days ago, challenging how IQ has always been measured. 

Bottom line: Faster information processing (i.e., “thinking speed”) is not necessarily the key to intelligence.

Key Takeaways:

  • A new study challenges the belief that higher intelligence scores are associated with faster information processing.
  • It also reveals a link between problem-solving ability and differences in brain connectivity and synchrony between the frontal and parietal lobes.
  • The findings suggest that there is a tradeoff between speed and accuracy in cognitive processes, highlighting the importance of slower and more effortful thinking for solving difficult problems and making better decisions. 

Full article here.

I don’t know but this article makes me, and my frequent second-guessing, feel kinda good.  How about you?  Any IQ stories to tell us about?  Have you ever been measured?  When, where?
