No, turtles and tortoises are completely different animals. One lives on land, the other the sea... Quite different.

They both have shells, can you tell them apart? 🙂

I sent you a link and pictures all look pretty much the same. 🙂

Yeah, if I see it walking on land it's a tortoise, and if I see it swimming in the sea it's a turtle 🐢

Ahhhh...So only the turtle can swim, but who is quicker the turtle or the tortoise. I assume you know. 🙂 I will pick you from which ever one is slower!

A turtle is faster than me in water, but I can outrun a turtle on land.

(In a triathlon, it would come down to who was quicker on a bicycle).

Actually it was more about which one Trev would be slower than moving a turtle or turquoise. 🙂

And since you have an IQ of a crumpet, that's good going.

Your response is too simple. Lucifer is brilliant, as his name suggests. He possesses comprehensive knowledge of evil. Anything he lacks knowledge of must be good. Therefore, his intelligence must be extraordinarily high, since he also knows all good simply by mere deduction; which is the takeaway by reasoning, combined.

Sounds like you and Luci hang out together.

I believe it is more about people being easily led. Example: Look at the following TRUMP has!!!

And Justin.

Actually Justin cannot be compared toTRUMP, as Justin has no criminal record or did he ever have 34 charges he was found GUILTY of by 12 of his Piers. 🙂

That is like comparing my chess game with yours, we aren't even in the same chess zone. 🙂

There is a political cartoon in today’s newspaper showing him in his office with possibly a staff member. There are a bunch of demonstrators outside the window with placards saying, “step down now and leave already, go away, etc”. Trudeau is saying, “Well at least my caucus has my back”, to which the staffer replies, “That is your caucus, sir”.

Oops you are right, it is a bit more compliocated, but actually beginning with IQ 69 and going down people are deemed not fully in control. They will be placed under supervision though. (At least in Germany, in other countries it is similar, in USA for example you need an IQ of 70 to be eligible for execution).

In the UK they are said to have a learning disability and must be supported by a child / adult learning disabilities team, enabling family support, a specialist educational system and preparation for living independently of their parents thus reaching their full potential.

IQ or Intelligence Quotient is tought to be a measure of intelligence.

The test is calibrated to be normally distributed around 100.

The standard test is thus centered around 100 (and mots accurate there) and can't determine anything below 70 or beyond 130 (at least not with a good level of certainity)

About 2% of people score below 70 and are deemed not intellig ...[text shortened]... no snese in any way (except if said people have done a controlled test as child and scored higher).

I was once very obsessed with I.Q. -To be more specific, my lack of it. For years, my parents took pleasure in dwelling on my substandard school grades. I was fired from several jobs because I didn't learn to do them properly within the corporate timeframe. After nearly 7 decades on this planet however, I found that I.Q. though a good predictor of ability, is a poor predictor of end results. The world has many examples of average people accomplishing above average results in many fields through persistence. Angela Duckworth, a research psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania wrote a bestselling book on this subject called Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. To quote a line from her groundbreaking work:

"Where talent counts once, effort counts double"
