Intelligence?


Well, i'd say it is not a science or art thing but the personal zeal and strive to go beyond seen horizons.

I was placed in science class*cos i surpassed requirements* when i was to enter SS1, i declined not because i'm not HOT enough but had passion for something else.
Re: Are Science Students Really More Intelligent Than Art Students? by Nobody: 9:00pm On Mar 19, 2015
This affected my career choice, I naively joined science class to feel like 'Mr Smart' but my heart was in arts. My advise now is don't follow the bandwagon, do what you wanna do.

the senior lecturer is the house. I lectures every 6times a week. 3 times a day. Morning, afternoon and evening. I dealt severely with BPH, CHE, etc anything that has to do with school of sciences. Do u what it takes to fill a basket with water. Then counting sand one by one. Greatest science students.

Naa Bro. I won't accept the bolded. Most of what we enjoy today originate from Science. Take the internet for example; your mobile phone; laptop? Video games?



Agreed. But bring it into the academic context; between art student and science student, which is more intelligent?
students from both sides of the divide are equally intelligent.....it depends on the individuals involved.......note there are complex economic equations. That keeps the world balance economically today that is brought about by the research of art students.......

True.
Arts students are just there to memorise.
That's why we are way more smarter.


As an art students before you were born , I will tell you categorically and factually that its a grammatical blunder to say 'more smarter'.. You cannot use two comparative adjectives ok? ' more' is comparative adjective and so is 'smarter'.. So the right grammar is ' smarter'' OK?
Now, who is smarter and more brilliant? Art or science students? That should blow your theory to hell...

I don't think there is any level at which you can compare both fields. Art is more about expression and creation while science focuses on discovery and application. Some of the worlds smartest folks were/are in the arts e.g the likes of mozart, bethoven etc.
If I were to answer your question, I would say NO cos like I said earlier, the folks in art seek to create new stuff, while the science folks mostly discover what already exsists and then seek to modify it. I do not think that a science student would do better in arts tho, he/she will most likely perform worse. The art student on the other hand might just trump the science student if he/she ventures into science.

They don't create new stuffs. They modify as scientists do; creating from something already created by G*d(?)

Once upon a time during a bank interview, we found out that science based graduates were not asked technical questions(just random questions that anyone can answer) but it wasn't so with commercial based graduates- they were asked technical questions from what they studied in school. Those interviewing didn't bother to ask because they knew nothing about what those science based graduates had studied only to fire shots at others. Any time I come across any job advert position involving engineering,science,social science and art graduates, I already know which 'class' would have an upper hand even when they have nothing to show for all that attention given to them.
Re: Are Science Students Really More Intelligent Than Art Students? by freecocoa(f): 9:04pm On Mar 19, 2015
That's what it seems like and the science students I know, are usually more intelligent than their arts counterparts, wetin you want make we talk again.
Re: Are Science Students Really More Intelligent Than Art Students? by Nobody: 9:05pm On Mar 19, 2015
This is not even a LOGICAL argument. Its like saying a medical Doctor is more intelligent than a lawyer which can't be argued cos they are in different fields.

To my understanding, I believe dis comparison should be based solely on individual strength not generalizing it based on the department..thou I'm proud to be a science graduate buh viewing dis based on the innovation to which the sciences av proven to be the brain box behind every invention,not also forgetting that some art based discipline av also made an impact in one way..

If they are both equally extra-ordinary committed... You think their IQ will still be the same?

Your IQ, is your IQ; it's genetics, it has nothing to do with your field of studies (science or art)!

In university, it is different

I think the sciences memorize more, their courses are straightforward. But the Arts have to actually think, analyze and memorize. The absence of these screams failure.


Regardless, we also end up administrating over you

I'd like to see a science student try doing political science or law by the time you have to analyze certain issues eh.
imagine when all your exams end with "discuss " or start with "critically examine" imagine when writing three pages during an exam gets you a B and you need Atleast 4 pages to smell A.
Re: Are Science Students Really More Intelligent Than Art Students? by kevv(m): 9:08pm On Mar 19, 2015
Its only in nigeria that people think science students are more intelligent than art students. People tend to forget that law falls under the arts, being a lawyer involves lots of critical thinking and high intelligence quotient, those who see the series 'suits' will understand what I'm talking about. Even journalists are very brilliant, when you see brilliant journalists write, you tend to fall in love with their write ups, all these involve critical thinking, so what I'm saying in essence is that science or art doesn't really determine who is more intelligent, the main thing is knowing how and where to channel that intelligence and also passion for that which you have chosen.

This had been a long seemingly never-ending argument back then in secondary school. However, the surpassing notion was that if a science student resorted to being an art student he would be more intelligent than the-normal-art-student.

The reason we had was that it is arbitrary normal for science students to have higher IQ than art students, so the brain a science would be using for Art would definitely be more intellingently complex compared to the-normal-art-student.

What do you think?

Op its true and VERY correct. Its practical.

I have the opportunity of tasting both worlds......there is a reason why you have classification and groupings for different person because many people naturally would have flair for arts and some for social sciences and some for sciences..... The laws that are used to govern us where made by social scientist.......without arts,most of the designs u see in architecture wouldn't be appealing......the idea of sciences being more appealing are notions created by the society and our parents who feel engineering and being a doctor are noble professions.....but alas we have respectable lawyers,accountants.....these courses are difficult to pass.....unless u are hard working and bright....a science student might find arts boring and so do art students.....has nothing to do with which is more brainy or not......

Re: Are Science Students Really More Intelligent Than Art Students? by Nobody: 9:17pm On Mar 19, 2015
Omo from what I remember in school, the art students were mostly the ones that claimed they got a headache from mathematics. I wouldn't necessarily say that they are less intelligent just not as gifted in the realms of Cartesian reasoning, symbolic logic and other cognitive tasks typically found in the sciences.

Intelligence is a very complex metric often mistaken for one of its features; long term memory, associative hierarchy, working memory, spacial reasoning, fluid intelligence, crystalline intelligence and so on. These features usually come in different proportions and are hard to measure precisely. So I guess what I'm trying to say is it's more accurate to categorize people as having different psyche architectures than to place them on a one dimensional intelligence scale.

It's just unfortunate that, most times, the world rewards brilliance of a certain kind over the others and labels it with a broad brush as intelligence.
