1) A person has Baccalaureate degree, but they weren't content with their field of study, so they only half heartedly worked toward their degree. Also, they cheated on the final exam that they took right before getting the degree. Can they still be considered intelligent?
- The person can still be considered intelligent. They managed to stay in college regardless of what they did. They are not considered unintellegent because of the decision they decided to make. They aer still intellegent to me.
2) Bill Gates was a college drop out. Do we consider him intelligent? Why or why not? How might this affect your criteria for your definition of intelligence?
- We do not know why he dropped out of college.He could have had many reasons, but we still consider him intelligent. He invented something no one else ever thought of. He is a practical genius. We would have never known he was a drop out. He is a billionaire.
3) A man with a BA goes into politics and proposes going to war with another country. He knows the war will drag out, and he knows many people will be killed during the duration of it. Was this an intelligent decision? Are people we admit are intelligent allowed to make unintelligent decisions from time to time? Why or why not? How might this affect your criteria for your definition of intelligence?
- this was an unintellegent decision. Some intellegent people make bad decisions, but we still consider them intellegent.This will not affect my criteria decision of intellegence.
