I dunno... I was just joking around... in relation to the tone of the original post. It was too pro-test for my liking.

Don't put much faith in tests myself. What matters is life. For sure, I'm probably smarter than some, but stupider than some others. I've noticed that. But I've also noticed that some smart people do some very stupid things, and that some "slower learners" work bloody heard and excel in one or more areas. (Whereas... myself... I was pretty bloody slack)

Thing is... if there is such a thing as generic general intelligence, it's something that a person is born with and which they cannot change. So we should not really look up to it, or down on it over much.

In terms of impatience... I have a different sort of impatience... A lot of people are lacking in knowlege. Stuff that they should know, but don't know, and haven't tried to learn.

I tend to tag these people in my mind as "stupid". What I really mean is that they are ignorant and perhaps lazy. It's the wrong term I know, but it's a nice short one.

I do occasionally use the term stupid in it's correct form, for those who are unintelligent AND lazy AND ignorant. I'm not keen on these types.
