"what makes the difference between someone with 200 IQ and someone with the average or possible above average."
A combination of genetics and environmental conditioning. I would expect. Just remember high IQ is not a predicter of sucess there are many idiots out there with IQ on the far right of the bell curve who do not have a lick of common sense.

Your right IQ correlates with financial sucess, and low income correlates with toothloss...
My point was just because someone has a high IQ does not mean they will be a sucess. Sometimes it is not what you know but Who you know. *typo edit This message has been edited by 1.61803, 08-31-2004 10:23 AM "One is punished most for ones virtues" Fredrick Neitzche

Saying someone is smarter really depends on so many factors, I knew a brilliant pulmonary doc who could not put the screws of his daughters new tap shoes on with a screwdriver. I did it for him. It did not take a Phd to do it.
Some people are mechanically inclined some are not. Some people have better memorys the list goes on and on. Smart is dependant of environment and circumstances at times IMO.  This message has been edited by 1.61803, 08-31-2004 10:40 AM "One is punished most for ones virtues" Fredrick Neitzche

mission for truth writes: No, I mean she is a person of high intellect and has made stupid decisions. Her IQ did not keep her out of prison. (I like Martha by the way.) Do you mean she knows it's a good and she doesn't need to be there to know it?mission for truth writes: Yes I believe IQ is a matter of both genetics and environment, as with most things in the human condition nature and nurture seem to shape our minds and bodies. Having a open mind will certainly expand it IMO. One thing I've noticed for myself was that I got smarter when I started looking outside my own box into the realm of other people.mission for truth writes: And by the same token the former could take on the example of the latter and thus learn something from his intelligent friend. look at an unintelligent person that hangs out with a person of great potential, the possibility of dragging the person down is there and it happens when the latter conforms and is encapsulated by the former.I also believe that all men have potential it certainly helps to have the advantage of high IQ. mission for truth writes: good friends or smart friends, or smarter friends? I myself have had good friends that were not the sharpest knife in the drawer but that did not mean they were not enjoyable. Sometimes I feel that IQ is used as a elitest disquised form of bigotry. Thats's why we want our kids to have good friends. "One is punished most for ones virtues" Fredrick Neitzche
