    The corollary to that idea is that hothousing is not the same as having a high IQ.

    Yes, yes: enriched environments are better in so many ways. But if you give everyone the same environment, there will still be differences in IQ, just like there are differences in height and ability to run fast. And that's okay! I'm not judging or saying anyone is better. I'm saying that differences exist.

    Val, you can't say that too many times. "you be you, let me be me, the only possibility I can see"- an old hippy rhyme
    Ooh, ooh, maybe an iq test measures "a hunger for things scholarly", that explains better than "an aptitude test".

    This thread looks like it has run its course, so I'll lock it for now. Please send me a private message if you have any questions.
