If you could raise/lower every person on earth's intelligence to the level of your own, would you?

Answer 1

NO NO NO
I like meeting people with more intelligence than I have. It gives me an opportunity to learn from them. We all have different areas of interest, some people know more about certain things than I do, and there are some things I know more about than others.

I don't judge people who are less intelligent, especially if they are eager to learn and want to find out more things. I love teaching and explaining things to people when they are full of inquisitiveness.

If everyone were the same it would be boring and how would mankind advance? We need our boffins!! We need people to come up with new ideas and theory's. But we also need people who just accept things on a superficial level and don't feel the need to understand things or know more.

There are different form of intelligence as well. Some people are very musically gifted, I am not! If other people had MY level of musical "talent" then the world would lose out. Its the same with a lot of professional trades, the hands on work. Things I can't do on a practical / manual level.

Intelligence is often viewed in a very narrow field. That of IQ tests and academia. But what about the arts? Someone needs to have the knowledge to do the hand on jobs; bin men, car mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, electricians etc. Vocational jobs. Things that aren't really measured in IQ tests or written exams.

Answer 2

No i would never do that...

if i lowered other's intelligence...i wouldn't get the chance to enjoy half the things in life that are other's contribution

nor would i raise other's intelligence... i need some moronic people around...else my own intelligence would be of no use!!

Answer 3

How could I do so? I don't even know if my level of intelligence is higher or lower than what every person on Earth has. Who could ever make me aware of it? Other people? If ever they say that I have high intelligence but they're the one who could make me aware of it, then on which level am I really in?

Answer 4

Well the obvious answer would be to lower so that you become the cleverest person on the planet, but then this would have draw backs.

Do you know how to make a TV?
Do you know how to make a computer? - Not buy parts and stick them together - BUILD A HARD DRIVE
Same goes for every other product you use.

I wouldn't

Marked as interesting!

Answer 5

Those more intelligent than I am, I would prefer them to stay that way. ... however I deal with enough ignorant morons on a day-to-day basis to know that they really need help. I don't consider myself smart, but I know I'm better off than a good deal of the population.

You know, people mainly just need common sense...

Answer 6

Yes. Then we wouldn't have such a large # of people who are unemployable. Our taxes would be lower as a consequence since we wouldn't be paying welfare or social security or ssi to these people.

But I wouldn't lower the intelligence of people who are smarter.

Answer 7

i would.. i would raise their intelligence level higher so that they can see what i have been seeing..a lot of us humans are blinded by it..
kindness thus, will lead us passing that blindness/ignorance..when you're an intelligent person, you know how to bow down with humility levelling to each and every individual. Since you think that you're more intelligent than others, you would always give way to their advantage.. this is one charactristic of an intelligent person, they humble down themselves..

Answer 8

%. up the pen. inspect the IQ try. study each and every question. answer each and every. in case you fail to reply to any of the questions, no one will answer them for you. don't be ashamed in case you get a low score.

Answer 9

no, i think everybody having a different level of intelligence
makes the world interesting. good question though.

Answer 10

I think you just lowered mine a little with that question lol.
