No. It just means you learn fast. Couldn't a slow learner be just as intelligent? What does it really mean to be 'intelligent'?

No, I do not.

That would be like saying: "The faster a car the more races it wins."

I agree that both that saying and what you said CAN be true, but the are not necessarily true.

It's the difference between necessary and sufficient.

Just because one learns fast doesn't mean they will be more intelligent.

The only truism is that the "more you learn, the more intelligent you are."

The rate of learning helps, but is not alone sufficient.

To an extent, this is true, but there are other factors that determine intelligence. Do you retain the information? Can you draw your own conclusions from the information? Do you see the big picture? Can you use the information to make your life better or to be more productive?

I know people who can learn information very quickly, but can't use the information outside of what specifically they have learned.

What do the experts say?

I believe, the faster you learn the more intelligent you become.

This is very subjective. Some learn in methods which differ from others. Some are verbal, some oral, some visual. Remember: They have monkeys flying rocket ships. That does not mean they are smarter than humans!


Speed? So what! It;'s just a talent. Also, life smarts are quite different than book smarts. Most people do not have a clue about human relations, love, giving, sharing, contribution. to me, they are the dumbest ones;.

No, because I think the person who figures out at what pace to learn in order to make it "stick" is more intelligent.

No normally the faster you learn the less you will retain

In general yes, but some very bright people can not learn to spell very well, nor could they give you any ideal how much a hot dog should cost. So therefore I say it is a rule not a law.

No. A slow learner may retain what he learns better. However I knew a girl who could look at a page once {read it} and remember everything on it. She could even tell you where it was on the page. She is a Doctor now!
