    Not being defensive, just pointing out your correlation between language skills and intelligence is flawed. Something that you fail to understand. Intelligence is about comprehending ideas, problem solving, ability to reason, etc... little to do with language skills particularly, a second one.

    He actually used to write articles for Pacland and he does seem to sound totally different when speaking Tagalog. Give him a break, English isn't his first language. He's getting better though.

    For a guy who's first language is not English and for a guy who has never completed secondary education until recently it's already an accomplishment that he can appear on several shows in U.S. without using an interpreter and still mange to express himself.

    People who doesn't realize that . . . are dumb. :D

    NO, he's right. There's a correlation. But it has no place in this discussion because it doesn't apply to Pacquiao.

    He made over 32 million last year so he couldn't be too dumb.

    You're agreeing that it doesn't apply so therefore the correlation isn't as strong as it seems. What happens if an intelligent person doesn't want to develop his language skills or has no interest in languages. Does that mean he is less intelligent? Intelligence is more about understanding and reasoning rather than language skills.

    There's different types and levels of intelligence..something the poster doesn't seem to understand.

    This is why the IQ test is multiple choice and predominately based on shapes and numbers that you don't need to verbalise Genius!!!

    I don't think he'll be running for the White House. Maybe Pope.
