how smart someone is has nothing to do with intelligence.
intelligence is a mere capacity you have, which you may or may not use to its potential.
an intelligent man is not always deemed smart, but you can always safely assume for a smart man go be intelligent as well.

and to the poster saying he would rather stick together with a homeless 160 iq person than a brain surgeon after apocalypse, well sir, you are an idiot. the hobo, being more intelligent than you are, would beat you up with the stick and robe you off your clothes.

as far as the topic goes, its a load of rubbish. there is no way you* can prove that djokovic is more intelligent or smarter than federer/nadal or vice versa. and this comes from a Novak fan. so why the hell you bother, lol.

edit: if you find typos, keep them. my android is feeling generous.

good question. Generally one who has spent at least some time in university would normally provide greater results. James Blake is a John Mayer type of guy. I believe they went to high school together. The Bryans are all over the map musically, I know. They both can play multiple instruments as well. Isner strikes me as Dave Matthews Band/Top 40 hip hop type of guy...same with Querrey. I don't know enough about Steve Johnson. Michael Russell does some DJing I know but that's probably contemporary dance music. I'd venture to guess the number of players who can name-check John Darnielle or Ty Segall is probably non-existent on the tour. Never know though. Maybe a quiet dude like Gilles Simon has Pitchfork bookmarked?

Regardless, you have a Harvard grad on tour, and Stanford alum like the Bryan Bros and Paul Goldstein, but Djoker is an intellectual because homeboy likes a Vivaldi track. Ok

Must practice all that chest thumping to Mozart's compositions.

We are not talking here about intelligence.

So, it is not a fact but just your opinion?

The trouble is these days people are new-age hippies who are scared of being 'insensitive' by classifying people by stats. They're probably scared of themselves being classified as dumb if they do badly on an IQ test.

But really, IQ tests are the definitive way to objectively measure intelligence. You can throw all your achievements/education/career out the window - all you need is that score to know how bright someone is.

You created this thread so why don't you prove that Nole is more intellectual than Fed and Nadal.

Iq tests don't prove how clever someone is because intelligence is too complex to solve with a simple test. Yeah great you might be able to see what pattern is being shown by some shapes but that doesn't mean you are intelligent enough to solve a practical problem in real life, doesn't mean you have common sense. my mother has a great iq and also displays such a lack of common or practical sense sometimes it's astounding. I've known people with high IQs but who were gullible and unable to do practical tasks as well as the next man.

not only that, but tests are devised by human intelligence to measure human intelligence . Do you see the paradox?

But I suspect you are tolling anyway. Either that or you like hard facts so like to think there is a test to prove exactly how smart you are when in reality they just tell you in what areas of intelligence you are good at. Also some people are like computers and good at doing maths etc but can't discuss things with any great level of intelligence. maybe you don't like to get into complex discussion so you just like to think the answer is simple. it isn't though.

I have not made the claim that Djokovic is more intellectual than Federer and Nadal, and therefore I do not have to prove it.

I do not see how anyone can make sensible argument to support claim that a donkey is more intellectual than Djokovic.

Fed likes some classical music as well, though I don't think opera. But he's had Beethoven and Chopin pieces on his i-pod. And last year he went with his mom to a Beethoven violin concert in Rotterdam for her b-day. OK, it was a b-day outing for her but doubt they would have gone if he hated that kinda stuff.

The Beethoven violin concerto is one of the greatest pieces in the repertoire. Fed's mom has good taste.

You mean random articles about traits which have been shown not to correlate at all with intellect?

And you say 'claim', and posted an article in the OP. Does this mean it was a 'sensible argument' to support your CLAIM that Djokovic was more intellectual than Federer and Nadal?

Help me out here, unless your goalposts have shifted.

Also, I never claimed anything. If you think one way or another, PROVE it so it becomes a fact i.e that Djokovic is more intellectual than an ***. Otherwise it is just your opinion that he is.

But accroding to you, statement needs to be proven otherwise it's just an opinion. And since you can't prove Nole is more intellectual than a donkey, what we have left is nothing but an opinion.

Collins Dictionary:
"intellectual = a person who enjoys mental activity and has highly developed tastes in art, literature, etc"
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dic...kiePolicy=true

Does this mean it was a 'sensible argument' to support your CLAIM that Djokovic was more intellectual than Federer and Nadal?

Can you quote post where I made the claim that Djokovic is more intellectual than Federer and Nadal?
