I wasn't planning on going to college, that wasn't one of my goals. My parents said, well, you should apply for at least one. in college and I thought I would never get in here and then I went to Yale. Should we go and do introductions? Yes, I'm Chad, I'm 24 years old. I work in finance. I have a bachelor's degree. I went to Yale. I'm Tyler, I'm 21 years old, I graduated high school and I work in the Marine Corps.

I'm Kaylie. I'm 25 years old. I am a software developer. I went to Ohio University and have a bachelor's degree. Maria. I am 30 years old I have my PhD in cancer biology and I work in a graduate school in the biotechnology industry I went to the University of South Carolina in undergrad I went to the University of Florida Hello everyone my name is Shawn I am 27 years old I am the director of social media for a company and also work for an advertising agency, I obtained a double specialization in dance and underground cultural anthropology. I went to Loyola Marymount University Hello everyone, I'm Ray, I'm 24 years old.

I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from Harvard and work consulting with all the youngest babies. I know this is an age factor. Yes, it gives you years of experience like this. We need maybe it's good to identify what

intelligence

means for everyone. I think

intelligence

is best defined as your adaptability and your problem. solving skills more than your education, obviously, like the education that you've gone through, it puts a lot at stake because it gives you more resources, more ideas to draw from formal education, it definitely helps, but I don't think it's either way. essential way, so what is the most essential?

So the most essential thing was probably common sense, yes, for me personally, I think intelligence is both IQ and common sense, street smarts, all of that combines people consciously or unconsciously when they see someone form an opinion right away as I'm sure we all did right away when I saw you I said to myself Maria don't judge him just by his looks he could be throwing you off or that's what he is but he can talk the talk and walk. Sean, I didn't want to judge him by the way he looks, the way he dresses or the way he acts, so I thought he's smart.

First

impressions

I would put him last just because when he was in school, all the other people with things like that. bright neon colors and stuff, they were usually the worst performers in classes if we were

ing confidence, I would definitely put Sean in

first

place, so what's the definition we're going to follow? It is the most important question. I like your definition. Let's say I like my definition, it combines everything, does anyone have any similar initials? You can be honest, start there. I've finished now. I feel like I have a good mix of both, like being book smart and street smart, so yeah, I think I have a few. contributions that there are so many aspects of intelligence that really goes beyond IQ and IQ, even those two different factors don't really capture what it really means to be intelligent.

I know I'm not, you know from Yale, I don't have a PhD, but what I lack in those areas I can still solve problems and use my own skills, my emotional intelligence and my social intelligence, in addition to my education and experience, I feel like I have high emotional intelligence, as if I were conscious. From my background as a software developer, my problem-solving skills are obviously top-notch. I guess I would say that my whole life I've had to fight to be seen as intelligent. I think I'm so used to having to do that as a woman that I just step up and be like I deserve to be here my

first

job out of college I was working at a law firm the gentlemen came up to me and said hello you don't look like someone who would work at a law firm You look like someone I would go on spring break with and I, obviously, out of everyone here, have the least formal education.

I consider myself intelligent, my mental dedication and my ability to adapt and solve problems in what I do. In the Marine Corps I'm a Seber Defense Specialist, so I think by virtue of what I do that already requires a certain amount of intelligence. Sorry, quick question. So do you think only certain people can do your job or do you think anyone can do it? your job is only for certain people, you have to take the asvab before you get into the military, that's not really how much you know, but how well you can learn information and I got a 94 on that, it's not a quantity of how much you study, how much I know that You're not really going to get better at learning.

Makes sense? I do not agree with you. No improvements in learning. The idea that you can get better at learning is an important indicator of intelligence. I am very dyslexic. I have ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. Dyslexia means there is a big gap in understanding, so I scored in the 99th percentile in certain areas and, like the 3rd percentile and others, I will never be able to learn another language. I took Spanish for 12 years and I can basically still only order a burrito, so I have a question: why did you go to Yale and why did you go to Harvard?

My parents are immigrants from China. I am a first-generation immigrant and a college student, in addition to my family. I always emphasized the importance of formal education to me, that was something I really strived for. I wasn't planning on going to college. I did not do it. It wasn't one of my goals. My parents liked, well, you should at least apply. at a university and I thought I would never get in here and then I went to Yale, why don't you rank each other from one to six, including yourselves, and give reasons why you want to do what you are doing, you have to go to one?

No, oh, yeah, two, three, four, five, six, I would classify you as a six, it doesn't mean you're not smart. I also think I don't place much value on the military period. No, yeah, I'd probably do one, two. three four five six sorry I'm the bill in this episode does anyone think those are both ends of the spectrum? I would say I'm one at least because I know what I'm doing and I'm sure wait, you guys have to rank everyone too, that's very unfair, no, no, no, I would say one, two, three, four, five, six, okay, I think one, two, three, four, five, six, sorry, sorry, it's hard for me to overlook the education part. going to university I think you learn a lot, at least emotionally I still think you're intelligent one two three four five six one immigrant parents first generation going to university humble modest two I don't know doctorate in cancer biology scientists where I work a company of biotechnology we make copic test kits 19 things like that and then six has nothing to do with your background.

I don't think you really have the highest EQ out of all of us Tyler, for me personally he ranked last because the way he behaves, he was ranking intelligence based on his point of view and not taking into account other people's points of view. people or collecting results, but it really just came down to his body language, his demeanor, the way he carried himself, the way he acted towards the group that I would put. one two three four five and six, so the reason I put you at number one is because I think you have the highest not only eq score of anyone, but also the way you present yourself, as well as being a PhD student, I think it's just It's a big deal when I get six because I feel like I might be the weakest in terms of actual IQ score.

Hopefully I can make up for it and everything else, so I put myself as the least intelligent, however, if it can't be me. I definitely think Tyler, unfortunately his way of thinking is linear and I think intelligence is almost like a sphere, it's a picture and right now he's just coloring with one color, so you know with the rainbow, so who got the highest number one. I feel like you definitely were. three right yeah I mean forever sure I guess I was expecting to be ranked a little lower at first glance and first interaction with me it's hard to tell how smart I am it's hard to tell how smart someone is that someone is upset with . where they're standing, I think it makes sense that it's down here like the guy graduated high school and then joined the military.

He probably wouldn't be at the top if he were in his place, he definitely would have done that too. I ranked among the lowest. I feel like there might be a bias in terms of classifying you. Okay, I was thinking really well, but I agree with the ranking. I think you're probably the smartest of all of us. I would feel strange locating you. there and not recognizing the dynamic in which we did it, hearing that taking an IQ test was definitely difficult to hear, quantifying things for me in that realm is really difficult because it gives you something really solid, even if you don't accept IQ tests. intelligence quotient.

It still gives you a number at the end of the day, which is something you have to deal with. I literally thought when you said to open the computer, let's look at social media. I didn't think an IQ test would be part of it. You'd expect them to rank us on intelligence, you know, an IQ test, it's not that far from being a wrong possibility, so number one is Raymond. Number two would be Kelly. Number three will be Tyler and number four would be Shayda. The number five. It's Sean and number six is ​​Maria. I think an IQ test proves something.

I don't think it's intelligence. He's definitely testing something. IQ tests are now known to be flawed, and based on incorrect sample sizes, I have very severe dyslexia. There are two questions about that. it proves that automatically I basically can't answer. I'm sure if you studied for an IQ test you would do much better. IQ tests are just one aspect or way of measuring intelligence. It's really on a spectrum of what constitutes someone as intelligent before this. All I knew about IQ tests is that they existed and the i stood for intelligence. I had never looked into IQ testing before coming here today.

I'm saying that eq was the first time I ever heard that term in my life. Back to intelligence, it's not just your IQ, it's your IQ, it's your common sense, it's your street smarts, sure it's some kind of metric similar to a sat and a ct score is a metric for getting into college , but that person is more than that proof. I'm actually excited I wasn't the last because I thought I was going to be the last, I'm not going to lie. I think an IQ test is a good indicator to see how people handle pressure, but I think it's easier to understand in our heads.

You're smart and you're not smart, I definitely don't think that's the best metric. I've been exposed to tests like this probably more than most people here, which already gives me an unfair advantage. This is my villain redemption arc and my climb up the ladder.
