It's not just his speech. It's that "nobody's home" look in his eyes too. You see that or anger, depending on the situation.

It's the last clause that sinks your boat. Above average intelligence people typically steal more (due to access) and are less likely to get caught but the actual frequency of theft (ie who's likely to do it) is unlikely to be a function of intelligence. It's a function of personal character.

Never did I speak to or imply the matter of FREQUENCY. This you infer from nothing.

I explicitly stated "fairly good" or "great" deceivers, "highly accomplished" deceivers, all premising my statements in terms of success or quality of deception, never frequency of attempt. I actually implied the opposite; "That's not to say persons of average intelligence don't attempt to deceive or manipulate (e.g. frequency), its just that they are relatively bad at it (e.g. unsuccessful) and thus have to find another line of work."

To the last part, I did not say they stopped attempting to deceive. My suggestion was that certain professions and pursuits will be unavailable to them, because if they attempt to venture in them, quickly find they are fairly awful in it. The Peter Principle for deceivers.

That leaving "tightly" the only valid bone you have to pick, which I would agree is, based on the statistical relevance of this term, probably overstating things. But statistically and practically insignificant the correlation is not.

Dude, don't get mad . . . just stop being vague.

I believe Bush had an SAT score of 1206?

Link?

For Bush Lite, I have a hard time believing anything over 800 (combined both sections).

So all this back and forth was just so you could iterate that intelligent people are good at what they do.

That's funny, because from your previous posts I would have assumed that you would have tried to insinuate that anyone other than the current resident of the White House were duplicitous curs with French ancestry ..

It's good to know that you finally see that our current president's lack of intelligence is a serious liability.

Try googling. Here is one of the many links that come up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush

Although he had an SAT score of 1206, 200 points below that of the average Yale freshman in 1970, he benefited from an admissions policy that gave preference to the children of alumni (his score was at roughly the 70th percentile nationwide).

The SAT has nothing to do with reasoning, leadership, or intelligence. Most people that have a high SAT I would not trust anyway. Besides if your dad is wealthy, how high does your SAT score have to be?

People don't want led by their intelligencia, they would feel insulted. They want led by their ambitious, and greedy, as it justifies their own feelings.
