    There’s nothing to flunk. Intelligence is simply how effectively a being can acquire and apply knowledge and skills. You’re describing wisdom, which is not the same thing. God didn’t say he made humans super-wise.

      There’s nothing to flunk

      There absolutely is, we are flunking our own survival and undermining our own well being by doing harm to ourselves, and that is absolutely lack of the most basic evolutionary intelligence.
      Also remembering a number with just a few digits for just a few seconds most definitely has NOTHING to do with wisdom, but everything to do with basic intelligence.

      I am most definitely using basic examples of intelligence, and not of wisdom.
      To claim for instance not committing suicide is a form of wisdom, is moronic.
      What part exactly do you think reflect wisdom? What exam have you seen that test wisdom over intelligence?
