INTELLIGENCE IS FROM GOD
Intelligence is energy coterminous with life. Intelligence ends when life ends, and begins when life begins.
Intelligence is not quantifiable, nor transferable. Intelligence is from God. Intelligence is flowing feeling.
There exists so-called intelligence tests, even IQ testing enterprises falsely claiming that intelligence is measurable. This is not true. Find the source of life and one will also find the source of life's intelligence. When measuring the source of life one also measures its intelligence. But, if one does not, then one cannot.
Physical attributes are inheritable, like physiques, strength, beauty, color, hair and eyes , etc; but not intelligence. It is uniquely spiritual.
Intelligence is not limited to man. It innervates, energizes, synchronizes all that is, whether: stars, planets, light, chemicals, matter, or plants, fish, animals, land, dust, mountains, all.
In her astounding book, BE THE HEALING: POST TRAUMATIC SLAVE SYNDROME ; AMERICA'S ENDURING LEGACY OF ENDURING INJURY AND HEALING (2005), Dr. Joy DeGruy writes:
"Did the Stanford -Binet Intelligence Test actually measure intelligence? Almost certainly not. We cannot know for sure because the test was never validated. When we say a test is valid we mean by that the test, in fact, measures what the authors say it is supposed to measure. In order to validate a test one must compare the results of the test with actual, objective outcomes in the real world. And therein lies the problem: because there is no objective way to measure intelligence in the first place, it is impossible to ever validate a test .
"So, even though the Stanford -Binet Test was never proved to be valid, its proponents continued to assert they had a test of intelligence. They made such a good case, pseudoscientific though it was, that America started buying into the concept of measuring intelligence. Since then, many different intelligence tests have been designed. The trouble remains, we cannot know what any of these tests actually measure.
"So far, no intelligence test has ever been proven to measure intelligence. More importantly , these tests have little to no predictive value. They cannot accurately predict whether a person will be successful. They cannot accurately predict how much effort a person will put into living their life. They cannot even accurately predict how well a person will do in school. Yet for the better part of the last hundred years or so there have been those who have used intelligence testing as a means to validate their superiority.
"One more thing about testing: A lot of attention has been placed on the test questions themselves being culturally biased and there certainly is evidence of that. However, more to the point is that these tests, culturally biased or not, do not measure anything substantial. Why we persist in using them is much more a testament to good marketing than to good science."
