Is there a relationship between cliques in high school and intelligence?

No, it's just special interest groopees in club psychology.

I'm an individual learner under this method of categorization.\n\nBased on your question, you might be interested in reading about multiple intelligences theory if you haven't already done so.  It's quite interesting.  I've attached a couple of links in case you're interested.

As a former high school "nerd" myself, I suspect he would probably be absolutely estatic to find out you are interested in him. He is probably afraid to approach you because of a lack of self-confidence.\n\nRemember it is not a competition who is smarter.  The question is whether the two of you can relate to each other on some deeper level as friends and partners.  Try to avoid telling him how smart he is all the time.  He is probably sick and tired of having that be the defining characteristic of his identity.  Try to find other positive characteristics as well.  And definitely don't put yourself down as not smart enough!  I am sure there are areas other than book smarts where you are probably wiser and more mature than he is (emotional intelligence).  In the context of a relationship, I suspect he probably has more to learn from you than vice-versa.\n\nGood luck.

It's true for me, technically. I don't use most of what I learned in high school in my job. But I do think it's a good idea to learn as much as you can in high school. It makes you a more well-rounded and interesting person later if you know something about history, literature, language, numbers, etc.

For some individuals, Yes.  Two of my high-school age children are currently attending charter schools, and with great results. They get more individualized attention and better grades.

If a group of reasonably intelligent people were allowed to take an IQ test "as a group", that is pooling their communal information, letting certain people do certain parts of the test, consulting with each other for best answers, and so forth, I would imagine that the group's IQ would always be substantially higher, unless the cooperation factor was low and they argued and failed to complete questions in a timely manner.

I would assume so. You know, there are advisors in high school that can help you find out the requirements you need to fulfill for high school classes.

Generally speaking it is a matter of statistics and genetics, and actually statistically speaking men are on average 5 points ahead of the fairer sex IQ wise. \n   In all actuallity boys and girls up to age 14 have no measurable difference statistically wise in IQ, however after that age there is a consistent widening in the IQ gap between men and women up to the age of 45, where IQ generally tend to stabalize.\n    A generally accepted biological explanation, after extensive simplification, is that males evoveled their mathamatical and spatial abillity becuase of the need of those skills for hunting, navigating, and competing for natural resources (think cave-man). Women's 'mental aptitude' on the other hand dealt with teaching, communicating, and raising and caring for offspring (think cave-woman). So wait, does this mean that women are better at communicating then men?\n The answer is not surprisingly an emphatic YES! In fact a majority of studies found that on average women are indeed better at commicating then men, and have consistently shown better verbal and writing skills in all of the basic aptiude tests (think SAT and ASVAB) used. So why do men have higher IQ's, well becuase most IQ tests stress memory and spatial development, most likely becuase it is extremely difficult to accurately measure anything related to imagination and creativity.\n   So what is the answer..well officially its men, but thats what just the book says. There are many other factors to take into consideration when determining how 'smart' someone is than just a test: drive, motivation, determination. Honestly it all comes down to the person...

Yes and no. Highschool was a blast sometimes, especially because I had a tight group of friends. But there was so much immaturity, so much gossip and backstabbing, people caring way too much what everyone else thought of them, etc. It's a tough time!

I have to disagree with your question. Your question assumes that all guys have problems with smart girls. Not the case. I'm a guy, and I love smart girls. Intelligence, for me, is one of the best things a girl could ever have. The only way this really becomes a problem is if the girl is significantly smarter than the guy, and the guy has a problem with it. Also, I know some girls that so desire to establish their intelligence that they shove it down your throat in every which way imaginable. If you're having trouble with the guys you're dating, just date smarter guys.

Intelligence is a complex topic.  Probably the easiest and simplest way to describe it is to say that intelligence is an individual's capacity to learn.  Theoretically, the higher the level of intelligence, the greater the capacity to learn and the more complicated material the individual can learn.  For example, the higher the intelligence the better an individual can learn to do math, read, etc.  Old psychology textbooks used to have a table that matched IQ levels to professions and the highest level IQ usually indicated someone who had the abiity to be a doctor, etc.  \n\nHowever, there is not always a match between measured intelligence and depth and quantity of learning.  \n\nMany theories consider intelligence to be different from creativity, emotion, critical thinking skills, and so on, but in recent years there has been much more emphasis and research on different types or aspects of intelligence - for example, emotional intelligence, multiple intelligences, common sense intelligence, etc.  \n\nI am merely scratching the surface in this answer.  I haven't even mentioned the many different learning theories!!  \n\nReview some of the links I've included and do some further research on some of the terms you see, and the immensity and complexity of the issue will be apparent.\n\nPersonally, I have always been very interested in multiple intelligences theory and used it extensively in my teaching.\n\nI hope this in some way addresses your question.  Enjoy the reading!

I never counted. There are some that are only smarter in a book-smart way with no common sense, and some that seem to have more common sense than me. The smartest people I know have both.

Yes!My high school was awesome.We had tons of AP and honors classes, a great football team, tons of extracurriculars, and I was involved in alot of them. I had awesome friends and loved high school most of the time. It was the best time of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

it depends. the smaller the school the more clicky it will be. large high schools with big populations are easier to get through. by the way, not every single person in highschool is a jock or supermodel as depicted on t.v.

Someone with lots of intelligence is the ability to learn quickly and see abstract concept patterns.\n\nSomeone with lots of wisdom knows what the heck to do with it.\n\nIn education, we measure intelligence by volume of information a person has already learned (e.g. vocabulary), memory skills (short and long term), pattern perception (verbal, visual, numerical, etc.), and problem solving (not just knowing a way to solve something, but figuring out ways to do it from scratch).\n\nIn real life, wisdom is much more important. A slower learner who is really good at using what he/she does know, effectively and positively to benefit him/herself and the community, is much more highly valued than someone who has learned lots of information and can problem-solve quickly, but doesn't make the world a better place with it.\n\nThe thing is, schools are to teach us the stuff we need so that as we build experience, we can do more with our lives.\n\nParents (acting as models for how to do it) and life experience are what give us wisdom.
