Hey everyone, I've been browsing the boards for a little while, and Utopian you have really pissed me off and forced me to register. Let me start by saying I saw your post in maths ext 1 forum, going on about studying to hard and natural tallent and implying the bs that is the HSC. Then I saw you in this forum having a whinge about the UAI. For me you fall into the category of the pseudo-intelligent. You think you are incredibly smart and that your HSC and UAI results don't justify it. Get over yourselves. Sad creatures unable to accept inferiority. Sure whilst the UAI might not be the best gauge of intelligence, it is not completely far off, those who get UAIs are obviously very intelligent. They not be the very best, but they'd be close, and that's all that matters really. You seem to have an antipathy towards the HSC and UAI, perhaps you aren't going to get a good one perhaps? People always complain how the HSC doesn't measure intelligence, 99% of the time its the people complaining are going shit and feel that they are naturally smarter. Probably 90% of the time they complain about how people can study, but they themselves also study and go shit. It's unbearably irritating to hear people whinge about how they are smart but don't study and therefore don't go well. People propose iq tests instead, and if they were introduced I reckon they would still get shit results and complain about the test as well. On the whole 'smart' thing, I'm sure here we are talking about natural aptitude. You do validate yourself slightly when you say captain chemistry may still be smart, but how can you not link smartness to maths and scientists. The most universal and objective of subjects - maths, has black and white answers. If you can't get them and others can, you complain about how you are smart and maths is not a measure of intelligence. Pfft there was an answer processable by logic and you couldn't get it, what a sad person that goes on to claim that mathematics and 'smartness' are unrelated. Furthermore, you aruge that humanities are the true measure of 'smartness.' Perhaps this is the only form of subject where you are actually accredited with smartness, because of it's high level of subjectivity. People will always disagree on what is good and what is not in terms of the humanities, but in maths it's clear cut and don't dare tell me it's not 'smart' for someone who can get all the answers. Pathetic freak, oh by the way in the 4 u maths exam in 2000 the highest mark was 113.
