Do the "intellect" of a scientist is different from that of a common man?

Answer 1

Yes. A scientist is usually tormented by his ideas. I now someone that is a scientist, and has discovered a new medicine. You have no idea haw her hands where trembling when she got the results of the lab's tests.

Answer 2

Don't you mean, "Does the 'intellect' of a scientist differ from that of a common man?"

If you're the brightest person in the world, but cannot articulate your thoughts, ideas, and questions well...how bright are you really?

A brilliant thought that's trapped in your head is useless knowledge.

I do not believe that intellect differs across fields. Some intelligent people, who respect the scientific method, don't do science work at all.

I would consider a man who makes wooden acoustic guitars (a luthier) to be as bright in his craft as a scientist is in thier discipline.

Answer 3

YES. A common man realises any problem but, he/she does not try to rectify the same and finds some other short cuts or leaves the problem as such. But a scientist idenfies any problem and finds solution for the problem. A scientist tries to prove his/her hypotheses and believes in them. But for a common man seeing is believing. To encourage or protect the 'intellect' of scientists the act of Intellectual Property Right has been established. If a common is able to find solutions for problems, he/she turns into scientist. In Indian agriculture, there are so many ITKs (Indegenous Technological Knowledges) in the rural areas. Thus people with such ITKs may also be called scientists. Thus based on the type of intellect of any person, one can be called as SCIENTIST or COMMON MAN.

Answer 4

Is the intellect of a scientist different from a common person? For the most part yes. You don't have to be a genius to be a scientist. You just have to have the ability to gain and retain knowledge in a certain area of science.

Answer 5

A very important step in solving a problem is to ask the right question. The problem with your question is that it has undefined elements: Before you can answer it you need to define "intellect" and "common man"?
Observe that in many countries "scientist" is a job, a profession not different than engineers, medical doctor, police person or bus driver, etc. Each profession will have diferent requirements and different codes of conduct. A functioning society will need people in most professions, if not all.

Answer 6

A scientist observes the world and then writes a report. A common man observes the abstractions of other common men and then writes a new abstraction.

Answer 7

Some people are born with inquisitive minds and spend their lives attempting to discover the mysteries that intrique them. Yet, many people who are not scientist can have the same or even higher IQ.

Answer 8

yes,if not there would be more scientist,but it takes everyone to be a whole society,for what one man is good at another man is not
like a engineer who can design and draw out blueprints to a building design
but would not know where to start at constructing the building physically

Answer 9

as a scientist i would say we are trained to be more sceptical and critical than most people. we try to understand the world by looking at it logically but we don't have better memories (mine is useless). I have seen no real evidence we are more intelligent but we do seem to have the abiltity to understand things to a greater depth than others.

Answer 10

To find the answer of this question you must first define scientist and common man.
Afther you will make a exhaustive definition, you will be able to answer this question yourself.
Good luck!
