Since the dawn of history the negro has owned the continent of Africa
- rich beyond the dream of poet's fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet. Yet he never picked one up from the dust until a white man showed to him its glittering light.
His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled. A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour. In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud.
With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizon calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed a sail!
JuanDeDios: It IS an intelligence test question. You're required to spot the parallel between two things. I'm surprised you can't see that. As for your insults, I trust your ability to find more worthy sparring partners.
I already posted this answer. Learn to read before you respond
The question is from the Milliers analogy Test and two things are required to get the question correct; general knowledge and reasoning ability.
The general knowledge is this: First you must know that whales were hunted for blubber in the 19th century and whale hunting almost led to their endangerment. You must also know that Elephants were widely hunted for ivory in the 19th century and poaching almost led to their endangerment. Both species are listed as protected in modern times because of this history.
The logical reasoning is this:
Elephants have tusks which are turned into ivory which is used as the active part (the part that produces the motion that creates sound) in the piano.
Whales have blubber which is turned into oil which is used as the active part (the part that produces the chemical reaction that creates energy) in the lamp.
ShyNeptune: lol. with an imaginary IQ of 130 you still haven't done a thing to Change the world?... how then are you different from My granny at home with an IQ of 50?
Mr Kleek, it's disgusting how you've been easily brainwashed by the whites. so much for the most intelligent black man.
I didn't say i'm the most intelligent black man. I don't even consider myself that smart, I just consider you guys incredibly stupid, moronic and practically apes.
ShyNeptune: again, I ask, what have you achieved with your all perfect intelligence? what have you invented? how have you changed the world? what ostensible thing have you done?
if you haven't done a thing, then i maintain my stand, IQ does not exist. stop wallowing in self delusion.
I don't care if some strange slowpoke on the internet believes that IQ doesn't exist.
trillville: For someone as educated as you claim to be, it is shocking that you can use such gutter language. Whether you are black or white, such a word should never be used by anyone. You ought to be ashamed of yourself and if you aren't then you are to ignorant to have any discussion with. I think you deserve a ban for life, you racist pig.
When your favorite rappers and entertainers say it is funny though?
kleek: If there is a race of man stupider than the black monkey that race is extinct. First off, pianos are not electronics products you slowpoke. The piano creates its sound through vibration and drums inside the instrument.

This is a level of reasoning that you simply do not posses. When you argue like this is just makes you look even stupider. One of the most serious problems with the negro is that he is too confident, he doesn't understand his limitations and thinks he is always right. This is why your people fail everywhere and are the laughing stock of the world.
Instead of coming to grips with your mental inferiority you would rather argue against someone with double your IQ.
This level of reasoning and knowledge is what makes me on of the top 98th percentile smartest people in the entire world. Instead of brainlessly arguing with someone double your IQ you people should be closing your mouths and opening your ears.
Learn from people who are smarter than you. If black people could do this Africa wouldn't be such a mess.
EzeCanada: Your answer is correct. Whoever presented telephone as an answer could be correct as well. Reason being that,
1. The elephant tusk serves as a tool for making ivory piano keys while whale oil to fuel lamps. So lamp is a correct answer in that sense
2. The individual who presented "telephone" as the answer could argue that elephants and whales could be grouped together as animals the same way a piano and telephone is classified as electronics products. In this case, the telephone is correct
Its either OP is suffering from an identity crisis and neo-colonialism or he is a inexperienced toddler.
He failed to realize that "Intelligent Quotient" is a term configured by the white man to have dominion over others. Whatever makes him believe that an average white man has more wisdom than an average Igbo man is mind boggling.
If there is a race of man stupider than the black monkey that race is extinct. First off, pianos are not electronics products you slowpoke. The piano creates its sound through vibration and drums inside the instrument.

AlfaSeltzer: so there are many answers? what did you say you iq was?
Holy shit you monkeys are stupid. Its a general knowlege question. Someone who knows how pianos are made and who knows the fact that whale blubber was used in lamp oil would get the question correct.
Stop arguing brainlessly. You are just making yourself look stupider.
AlfaSeltzer: I can also say that like with piano, the elephant makes music with its trumps; and like using the telephone to communicate, whales communicate with sonar.
You see, his iq tests are useless.
What wasn't an IQ test question, it was a general knowledge analogy question. And you guys are just googling the answers anyways.
trillville: My reading list though it seems wide is actually all pointing at the same issue. China for example had one of the largest economies on earth in the Middle Ages, yet China went through a period of humiliation? Why did this occur? I don't know your level of education but if you still in university and in the western world, take a course in world civilization. You will realise that trade contributes way more to the development of a nation than IQ. You will also find is that there wasn't much differences between countries in terms of development until the 20th century. What led to this divergence in development?
I don't have the answer to Nigeria's problems, I don't believe anyone knows the silver bullet to our issues. May be if you focus more on understanding why countries develop, you'll be able to use your high IQ to solve Nigeria's problems.
As for African (black) countries, most have very small populations hence they have small economies. For a small country to develop economically, it would need to form trade partnerships with neighboring countries. Countries in Southern Africa are really working at this and results of this can be seen in Botswana. Looking at Kenya, president Uhuru Kenyatta (my favorite African leader) has set up several trading partnerships with neighboring countries such as Tanzania, Kenya has even joined China's Silk Road trading route and would serve as the gateway to all of Africa.
I understand your pessimism towards black nations is because you are Nigerian and 1 in every five black person on earth is Nigerian, but understand that our situation in Nigeria is unique and Nigeria is a complex nation with religious and cultural differences. Only literacy will bridge the gap between our difference and though it may tarry, we will get there.
I have a very busy day. Good bye.
Cut the bullshit. If you want to make an argument just make it without all this nonsense. I took college level classes in high school I know history on a PHD level. I've read multiple textbooks from cover to cover there is nothing you can teach me about history. Get that through your skull.
Why are you niggas incapable of making a point without pretending you have some obscure knowledge that your opponent doesn't have?
Just make your fucking point...
The reason why the development of China and of the Europe diverged in favor of Europe was because of the Industrial revolution that occurred in Europe in the late 1700's.
For most of human history China and the east were far in front of Europe in terms of Technology. China made the mistake of becoming isolationist and complacent. If they had not done this they could have possibly been the ones to discover America and colonize the world. Did you know that in the 1500's japan had the most efficient gunpowder tactics on earth and probably could have defeated any European army in combat? The Japanese abandoned guns and returned to the sword and spear because of tradition.
Just looking at East Asian history it is obvious that they have Higher IQ than whites. What they lacked was the ambition and the greed of whites. (blacks have ambition and greed without the IQ) However, China is moving back to the top of the world. The United States cannot even defend itself from Chinese hackers and as the world becomes more high-tech the advantages of the high east Asian IQ become stronger.
You cannot teach me anything, I have analyzed every facet of human development (including Guns Germs and Steel) and everywhere the data points to low IQ being the chief cause of Africa backwardness. The Guns Germs & Steel argument explains away 50% of the problem, IQ explains the rest.
AlfaSeltzer: what i'm saying is that africa look like those photos precisely because they want to behave like europeans which they are not.
a peguin that sees a pigeon take flight, climbs to a tree, spreads its wings and leaps. What do you think will happen to it? Remenber they are both birds!
Ok, and what about ebola. When ebola comes back will Africans be able to save themselves from it?
AlfaSeltzer: those are genetically homogenous settlements in europe, though they are called tribes, they were not as genetically distinct from each other as african tribes are.
You don't know anything about European history. Each of those tribes had a unique language and were physically different.
AlfaSeltzer: you have a biaised interpretation. lol have it occurred to you that iq tests may not be applicable to blacks as they are to whites as we are very different? That the same iq test that show east asians as superior to whites have failed to explain how come they produce less genuises than whites? That africans are so much advanced in relation to where that iq test says they should be? That our african development problem may be because we are trying to do things that are absolutely foreign to us, thus failing miserable as an elephant that attempts to fly or a monkey that want to swim?
So basically you are saying that Africans should abandon technological development and return to the village? There is a suggestion in ancient times that the curse on ham predisposed Africans (the desendants of ham) to be slaves. Is this what you are getting at? because it has been determined that blacks make the best slaves.
Maybe i would believe that blacks had a unique form of intelligence if Africa did not look like the photos below.
Did you actually think my answer was guessed considering i was the first person brave enough to answer something i'd expect my 9 year old to get right?
Pattern matching is a standard quantitative tests that most people would have come across when seeking employment
I don't care how you came about your answer. I just wanted someone to explain why they got their answer instead of just throwing down a number and running away.
AlfaSeltzer: did you notice at the end of the video that he was pained to explain why observable behaviours in blacks and white does not correspond to the iq theory of intelligence? example, a black guy with an iq of 70 will have a normal fulfilling life while a white guy with an iq of 70 will be institutionalised?
I think that was the most disturbing part of the entire presentation. White retards are identifiable and separate from the population while black retards live among us and reproduce, even rising to lead countries from time to time.
It seems like black people developed social abilities at the expense of abstract reasoning skills.
trillville: Your answer is right but your explanation is also wrong. Lol.
Correct explanation.
The figure consist of four objects.
The object at the upper left corner is a triangle and the second object at the upper right corner is a rectangle.
The object at the lower left corner is also a triangle so the object at the lower right corner should correspondingly be a rectangle to balance out the figure.
Looking at the shaded regions:
The triangle at the upper left corner is shaded at its lower region and the rectangle at the upper right corner is correspondingly shaded at its lower region.
Since the triangle at the lower left region consists of two stripes at its lower region, the missing rectangle should also consist of two stripes at is lower region.
Kleek, you are a young smart fellow who has little understanding of the world. All sorts of people with different levels of intelligence are needed to make a country develop. Have you watched the movie Forrest Gump? What we have in Nigeria is a foolish system of government. Our parents generation were also not as literate as we are so things will get better in the future.
Read more on the rise of civilisations. Read about China development in the middle ages and their period of shame and then the renaissance of their economy. Read about The recent rise of Singapore. Read on India plans to switch its economy to a manufacturing hub. Read about the world wars and what "economic" reasons led to them. If you're interested in economics read about Henry Kissinger, the petrol dollar, Biafra, the gold standard, try to connect the dots. Also read about religion and its use by man to colonise people by proxy(I am a Jesus loving Christian oh).
And for Gods sake, stop talking nonsense about eugenics. Have a happy new year.
My explanation was fine, you are just reaching for something to criticize.
The reason why china and Singapore developed is because their populations have higher IQ's than Africans do. Singapore in fact, is the highest IQ in the world. Higher than the whites who created the test. And you don't have to create a reading list for me, I know far more about world history and economics than you do.
What happened in east Asia is irrelevant to blacks, Asians are not blacks. And this is not an issue of whites vs the rest of the world, it is an issue of blacks vs the rest of the world because blacks are the anomaly of human development. If you want to prove to me that the problem with blacks is not low IQ then show me a black country that disproves that assertion.
PassingShot: You're still talking of me having a low IQ? Wonders shall never end indeed!
To start with, by him participating in your thread is out of sympathy for you having seen you cry and beg for responses. He didn't have to because you're not a teacher to anybody here. No one is your student here!
A smart fellow in your shoes will first acknowledge that his answer was correct before asking for explanation; not dismissing it or acting as if the answer was wrong.
Mr. Teacher, pay attention to the emboldened. It is "their" and not "there". You now see that no one knows it all?
Picking on small grammatical mistakes on the internet is petty and meaningless. If i wanted to make fun of peoples grammar I would have and endless supply of material. Critiquing grammar on an internet forum reeks of desperation and i would rather focus on more meaningfull things.
As for fulanimania, I didn't ask him to answer out of pity.
