What's an IQ?
If I were an alien who visited earth knowing nothing, and asked you what the heck an IQ is, how would you explain it to me?
What is it, why do we test it? If it meant nothing, we wouldn't measure it.
I want to see how people in general understand it, not so much how experts in the field
7 AnswersPsychology2 years agoHow important is IQ?
What would you give up to gain another IQ point? How important is intelligence to you?
10 AnswersPsychology2 years agoWhat percentage of sexual harassment accusations are false?
The fact is, how would we even know?
I'd say the majority of accusations are valid, but there is absolutely no question that a minority of false accusers exist.
How many false accusations are made for every legitimate accusation?
6 AnswersPolls & Surveys2 years agoDefine "Fake News"?
When you consider the term "Fake News", has anyone REALLY defined it?
To what degree must a statement reported by the news be false before it can qualify as "Fake?"
Who holds the authority on what is factual, vs. what is "Fake"? Who do you listen to when you cannot observe for yourself?
If an interviewee makes a false statement, and the news reporter doesn't know it's a lie, does that qualify as "Fake News?" Do falsehoods need to be intentional to qualify as "Fake?"
Where do you get your news, and why?

2 AnswersSingles & Dating3 years agoFor the steadfast Trump supporters.?
If you haven't realized by now that voting Trump into office was a horrendous mistake, you're not even an American in my book. Our society, our values, the Constitution, our moral authority and leadership in the world are compromised. Watching this country drive itself into the ground with such determination is so sad. Trump voters: You've betrayed America, and if you still support Trump despite his actions, you are no better than the most reprehensible traitors in history. Think I'm wrong? Then how about tell me what makes you right?

2 AnswersMathematics3 years agoWhy does Yahoo Answers post an active question with no answer box?
"Yahoo Answers Team" posts stupid question. Prompts you to answer, but provides no input form. I'm logged in, and these active questions aren't open for answers. Brilliant move, Yahoo! Can we rename this clusterf-*** to Yahoo! Questions? What about Yahoo! FAIL? How difficult is it to develop something that actually functions properly?? That would be absurd, wouldn't it.
5 AnswersYahoo Answers3 years agoWouldn't it be neat if the pagination of replies was the exact same regardless of which page number you clicked on?
Yahoo Engineers - Very poor job testing Yahoo Answers for bugs and usability issues. Pulling data from a database into an embedded & paginated data set is something a Jr. high student could set up. Why can't Yahoo?

Especially so when someone is undergoing a crisis that is so intense that they feel the desperate impulse to escape by ending their very own life, yet continue to withstand the soul crushing hopelessness?
