Intelligence...judged by grammar and vocabulary?

spelling, yes (unless of course it's things like ez, cuz, etc etc) grammar? no... take me for example, i very well know correct grammar.. i'm just too lazy to use it.

It just makes more sense to put it all together and keep the fluidity going.

if intelligence is grammer and vocab, surely a lot of todays youth are doomed by email, instant messaging and texts. How many people do you know who call text messages 'tex' or the plural 'texes'?? is 'texts' to hard to say or something?

surely, being able to get your ideas across and understood shows more intelligence than spouting (and spelling) large words.

There has to be more to intelligence. check out IQ and EQ

Emotional Intelligence (EI), often measured as an Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ), describes an ability, capacity, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. As a relatively new area of psychological research, the definition of EI is constantly changing.

i type moderately shitty on internet message boards on purpose. for some reason i have this strange fixation with capitalization and perfect grammar online... every post i read that looks like someone had it proof-read just comes off sounding really arrogant in my head. especially if it is a little arrogant. but i suppose you could say the same for my sloppy looking bullshit, im sure its just as annoying to others if not moreso.

maybe i should see a shrink about it?

I passed my 12th grade English class with an A+ which gave me my diploma.
To get that A+ I had to attend summer school because I attendance failed the regular class 17 days before graduation.
My teacher, a former catholic priest turned English teacher and most likely child molestor kicked me out of his class because he said I was late 163 times. What is funny about that class is I aced every test or quiz I ever took in his class but, failed anyway because I was not sitting in my chair as the bell rang. Technicalities:(
A guy had to finish getting high before class started for the day and English class was 1st period.
I sit here and proof read my post before hitting the submit button to make sure I spelled everything correctly, crossed all my t's and dotted all of my i's.
I look stupid enough with the content of my post's and do not need to look even more stupid by mis-spelling words or using poor grammar.

Ding Dang Y'all.......

Adequate vocabulary and grammer use only makes verbal communication more effective, as opposed to struggling with words incoherently.

I don't believe better communicators are more intelligent, but valued highly because people need someone that has extensive understanding for communication, the most important human aspect of our lives.

To me, intelligence is not measured by an ability to do certain academic tasks, it is marked by the net awareness of a person. The ability to transmute what is perceived into language that can simultaneously be understood and elevate others is also a great indicator of intelligence. It's obvious that there are those in the world that either by choice or circumstances, have serious mental limitations. Those types are doubly infuriating when they are either proud of their oblivion or they change the subject or are otherwise dismissive when the topic of personal intellect is at hand. Or when they use your intellect to deride you, thinking that a heightened ability to speak and perceive is somehow 'faggy'. I think they grope for anything that will make them feel better than you.

The intrinsic ideas contained in a text indicate intelligence. the choice of words and manner of phrasing is an art. I always strive to be prolific in both.

I think we ought to have patience with those who struggle to write coherently online. We're slowly extricating ourselves from the destructive TV age. The internet is a new flagship for balanced interaction and unfiltered information. If we encourage those with language deficiencies to continue writing online, they will get better, and they will see the way other people write online. It's tempting to dismiss someone because it takes 3x the effort just to get through their crappy typing, but if we receive them well and don't treat them like an outsider, it helps them get to the point where they can type with precision and ease. hopefully

You can judge organizational intelligence by grammar and vocabulary.

Think about it. Someone can use perfect grammar, and knows a lot of words. If the person doesn't effectively deliver their points, vast knowledge in these two areas are useless. None the less, it only indicates that the person is an effective communicator. It's not a full grasp on total intelligence.

^nonetheless, no one can really overstate the importance of good communication. most conflicts in common life come about due to poor communication. Many international conflicts are caused or compounded by poor communication. Good productivity in virtually all endeavors is dependent on communication. If there is power in numbers, there is an invincibility in a group that has perfect communication. Depending on how you define intelligence, communication seems to create more of it.
