  • They once had me take one of those horoscopes and one part of it was a rorschach test. How is that not quakery.

    Another part was to have me write a short text wich fair enough.

    fill in mulltiple choise questions that were deliveratly obtuse and ambigous.

    The only part that i would expect to corrrelaete with intelligence was when i had to memorize a string of numbers and repeat it after a while. But even then this is an ability you can train.

    I agree with your second point. But it would seem that normaly the languages that are spoken primarily by people that learnned them as second languages would become more simplified.

    For example english speakers say ate instead of eated wich would be the logical choice. If enough peaole learn it as a second language so that it becomes eated then the language becomes simpler.

    And then tend to become complicated again as the speakers develop ideosincracies. But if there is a mechanism preventing this, for example its spoken over a wide area so the ideosyncracies never stick. Or the speakers are constantly interacting with forengers or both. Then the languaged gramar would remainsimple.

    Persian gramar is much easier to learn than russian or spanish. And i asume chinise is likewise easier.
