I had self reported as libertarian.

I am happy doing computer programming but I can't seem to get a job in that field after being a lawyer for several years. My own apps aren't even gaining traction, much less making me money. If I could get a job doing computer programming I would quite probably enjoy it and be able to stick...

It says my persona is Innocent Child but the results show it should be Wise Old Man?! Your 'Self' Archetype 72% match The Innocent Child Naive but a breath of new life and fresh ideas...

A lot of people confuse extroversion with eloquence. Here's the thing: you can be both eloquent and an introvert. Extroverts have both the natural skill and need to connect with many people. However, what the workplace usually requires is functional connections with other people. You don't...

:applause:

This is a question of morality. It is fundamentally unjust for an innocent person to be punished just because others who look like that person may have a tendency to commit more crimes (even if that is true). I don't think younger people should necessarily be discriminated against, nor should...

You can get out of depression! You can do it! We believe in you!

Wikipedia's always a good starting point

Yeah, well, the fact is that emotional intelligence is also useful. The only thing is we don't have a way to measure it yet (unlike IQ) and we haven't shown it's link to academic achievement, income, etc.

It was you? Sorry!

You're ignoring the fact that Blacks are discriminated against even after controlling for criminality: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/09/18/theres-overwhelming-evidence-that-the-criminal-justice-system-is-racist-heres-the-proof/ They are already (rather unfairly) treated...

That ignores the fact that there are white school shooters too, for instance. Australia is a federal democracy like the US, the citizens do not need guns, the police use guns less too. It's largely White too, and hasn't turned into a tyranny. Why can't the US follow its example? The anti-police...

Perhaps that is an overly simplistic view of EQ. People who have high EQ do not just get along well with other people, but are adept at reading emotion, displaying the appropriate emotion to get desired responses from other persons, etc. This matters more in some fields (e.g. sales, law) but...

Even if most criminals are blacks, most blacks may not be criminals. Overall, criminals are likely to be a minority of society. If they weren't, no society could function as everybody would be in jail. That's a separate question, and I think it's stupid that the US won't ban guns for civilians...

But the story is about how he outdid his brother & Jerome! I'm sure one could be successful despite having an IQ of 100, possibly with much more hard work than somebody with a higher IQ, but I doubt anyone would consider 90 to be a decent IQ. I don't think EQ is made up stuff. We all know of...

Makes me think of the film Gattaca. Scary prospect, though - if the film was to be believed. I just read this Wikipedia page - interesting read. Maybe history will vindicate this guy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Jiankui_affair I saw this on the Zoltan Istvan Wikipedia page: I like...

Certainly, I thank you for being exceedingly polite. I don't think the image is illegal in my country (I am a criminal defence lawyer. I'm certainly no authoritative source on banned pictures, but The Bell Curve is not banned in my country as far as I know). Frankly, I may have overstated the...

But I think there are a fair number of Asians. I expected more Blacks since I think most forumers are Usonian.

I loved Hobart! I met somebody from INTPf there before. Can't remember who.

Feeling frustrated, argggggghh! That made me feel better.

There is usually a reason. More often than not, it is self interest and is caused by competition e.g. for promotions, raises, alliances with other colleagues etc. That's usually the raison d'être of office politics. You never escape it but it's usually better at a small outfit, where people...

https://www.quizony.com/alpha-beta-omega-personality-test/index.html You are a(n) Sigma You're a black sheep. You are a mystery to those around you and tend to be seen as an outsider. While you may not enjoy socializing as much as others, it doesn't mean you don't...

You mean it's not everyone who's addicted to porn?:skeptical:

I've been feeling very very sleepy at night and in the early mornings recently despite sleeping more. But my mood has improved; perhaps sleep is helping.

Not working for me too. Additionally I discovered the following code in a file http://alphawomanthebook.com/quiz.js referenced by the page, which shows that even if it was working, the result would be random: Fake quiz!

The conflictin thoughts still come - wishing that I had never come back or wishing that I had never left. Or that I had taken the other offer.

INFP as always. Got Linguistic, Logical and Musical as my top 3 intelligences. Visual learner, followed by Kinesthetic and Auditory.

Let this be a refuge from the vast lands of the INTP domain. Where are you? How did you end up on an INTP forum? I ended up here as I used to be an INTP and a refugee from INTP Central; however, for some reason or another, my T slowly shifted to F and now I solidly test as an INFP.

So tired and irritated.

:shock:Why did he get banned? It does seem strange that so few Blacks are on this forum though. Statistically, Singaporeans are probably rarer than Blacks worldwide. Yet I'm not the only Singaporean on this forum. I'm not angry enough to quit the forum but when I'm tired of it I'll probably...

So basically, you're not Black:bashful:. I'm not upset, just curious. There were other threads too, including an anti-Black Lives Matter thread, which suggest that either there are few Blacks on this forum, or that they are not outraged. I know I would be outraged by an anti-ethnic-Chinese...

I guess the value in IQ is that all intelligences seem to be correlated to some degree, so there is a statistical basis for g. The exception to this appears to be the visuospatial / verbal split in East Asians, but that could be due to nurture as well (verbal tests usually being conducted in...

This makes me think of Andrew Yang's "The war on normal people". What if we just implemented universal basic income so that the vast majority of lower IQ people could survive?

I'm just wondering where all the Black users are since there don't seem to be any Black users outraged by what ApostateAbe is saying in the "Racism is innate" thread. Black users, are you offended? Are you past being offended? Or do you just think the debate is a waste of time? It would be...

Firstly, I don't really agree that my nation has a problematic underclass race. For a long time, it was believed that Malays were less academically capable, which was a racist belief. Then the Malay community promptly produced 2 top scholars in the Primary School Leaving Examinations in quick...

Try a ketogenic diet. I'm told it helps as using ketones as fuel clears up the brain. I'm trying out a ketogenic diet too and I suffer from delusional disorder, depression and anxiety.

:excruciating:

Hm, experience would suggest not. In the software development world it seems that more and more geniuses are ever required to do more and more complex things. Religious people are not necessarily unintelligent (or perhaps that is just me hoping that I'm not unintelligent as I am a Christian)...

What I gather from your very detailed post is that you seem to have a great dislike for Blacks. Your post is well written, but the disdain you show for Blacks is truly disturbing. Do you have no Black friends? If you don't, given the large number of Blacks in your country, I should think that...

This is a fork from the Racism is Innate thread by ApostateAbe as an interesting point came up about intelligence. It would seem that people (both between as well as within races) are, with some exceptions, valued in proportion to their IQs. IQs appear to predict not just raw brainpower per se...

Since university ended (quite some years back), I have largely been disciplined with my caffeine intake, limiting myself to 2 cups a day, one in the morning and another in the early afternoon. I don't feel that my intellectual performance is lower or higher, but what I do know is that I feel...

We may agree on the motivations of racism, but that's where the agreement ends. It is not necessarily natural to have a distrust of racial outsiders. Consider the Clark doll experiment: why did the black girls associate good attributes with white dolls instead of black dolls if racial...

Bringing the topic back to your original post, the problem is that racism is more than just the belief that racial differences exist. It involves attributing evil to racial outsiders. And that's precisely what you've shown in your post which attributes evil to Latinos. If you believed that a...

I'm feeling better now, it comes and goes. Those mood swings are a bummer.

Now, I haven't read the book you recommended but the excerpt you cited does not mention races at all. It simply stands for the proposition that some persons are more intelligent than others and less intelligent persons are economically disadvantaged. That may likely be true, but that does not...

Firstly, the data is clearly not exhaustive and thus it was not possible to draw any conclusions about differences in penile size between the races. As you have admitted, the data is limited. As such, it certainly cannot be taken to be conclusive evidence. Even based on the Appendix which you...

That's the problem with racism - it cherry picks unreliable data to justify dangerous conclusions. What's the odds that external appearance shows that one group has a lower IQ than another? The answer is, none unless there's evidence of a correlation. There are ugly people who are smart and...
