thats not the point if your a millionaire your intellegent because your rich... id say footballers are smart because they done a sport that they know brings in a massive amount of money and with the paycheques they get... you could call them unintellegent but they'd just get in their

lamborghini/ ferrari and drive back to their mansion whilst your there in a focus...

I beg to differ, they are talented not intelligent.

I'd say they definately mix, I'd say I'm reasonably inteligent so if I went to the gym and buffed up I'd be a mix.

Like Fom said it's just a stereotype.

[Tom]

I don't think money means intelligence. They just follow a career path they want to do, not necessarily for the money- just like the rest of us really.

I mean you could take this away from sport, there are loads of people in TV who have good PR agents that make them money but they're quite thick. Jade Goody springs to mind. She's not exactly Einstein but has made millions.

There are 7 different types of intelligence *smug look on face*

1. Linguistic
Children with this kind of intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.
2. Logical-Mathematical
Children with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.
3. Bodily-Kinesthetic
These kids process knowledge through bodily sensations. They are often athletic, dancers or good at crafts such as sewing or woodworking.
4. Spatial
These children think in images and pictures. They may be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing, building with Leggos or daydreaming.
5. Musical
Musical children are always singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss. These kids are often discriminating listeners.
6. Interpersonal
Children who are leaders among their peers, who are good at communicating and who seem to understand others' feelings and motives possess interpersonal intelligence.
7. Intrapersonal
These children may be shy. They are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.

Thought I'd tell everyone and make everyone feel intelligent. Happy times for us all.

If I started a thread saying: 'pretty blonde girls and intelligence don't mix', I wonder if it'd last as long as this one has?

In fairness the OP did say she didn't mean it to offend anyone ... thats why I've not taken it so seriously and I should be what the OP describes

[Lauren]

The OP didn't make a statement that SHE believed was true, it was meant as a light debate as far as I can see?

My summer plan is to bulk up a bit (not going to well)...but at the cost of my brain?!?!?!

It's sorta true, i mean look at Dale - muscles but no brains. Luke - brains but no muscle.

Luke isn't intelligent. He just thinks he is.

To be honest, I think there is definitely a correlation but I don't think its a sweeping statement.

There’d still me more hell if I’d have wrote “Blondes and intelligence- discuss”

I half agree. If you worded it like "There's loads of jokes going around about how blondes can't be intelligent, what are your views on this?" it'd be a bit like this.

Studies by the British Medical Association have shown that intelligence decreases proportional to increased blondness. Fact.

Does it matter if in which gender? If it does then its not looking good for me; naturally blond & muscly

Sort of true? That's ONE example!

It'd be like saying- there's a blonde on bb that's smarter than a brunette so that sort proves that blondes are smarter!

Doesn't mean anything.

True, except this thread wasn't worded that way either.

"Muscles and intelligence don't mix.. discuss if you wish" does sound like a statement to me!

If I'd have worded it:

"Blondes and intelligence don't mix.. discuss if you wish" it'd be treated worse!

I could say I didn't mean to offend later on in the thread but needless to say, some blondes would probably still have been offended by that statement.

If we're talking about academic intelligence, we only need to look at Oxford Universities participation (and often winning) in certain sports to see the statement is not exclusive.
