What is an educated person? Is it IQ? or one that can -------------?
Answer:
One that has an education ... I don't know if that 'officially' refers to primary, secondary, or higher education, but in my opinion it refers to someone who speaks and/or writes with proper (or at least understandable) grammar and proper vocabulary (not littered with slang or vulgarity). Also the person writes/speaks is well informed on at least one topic and can carry on a conversation about the topic.
IQ? Not necessarily, though those that meet my criteria aren't usually on the low end of the IQ chart. And, actually, many people with high IQs wouldn't meet the criteria I listed because of emotional issues that prevent such functioning of the intellect (though the scores are IQ scores are high, you ask? I read this somewhere and it was explained well and made sense and may have seen it myself.)
one that can -------------
I would say IQ for educated, there is a difference between educated and smart though you can have no education but have alot of common sense
The best part of education is learning you don't know it all,but you know how to find out...
an educated person is someone who has learned, and used it in life. They better themselves with the things they know.
someone who reads a lot about the world and people and stuff
it comes down to curiousity and how willing a person is in seeking out the info and then connecting the dots to other life/educational experiences.
IQ is intelligence Quotient. That is innate "smartness". Education is what you have learned. either by 1st hand experience or 2nd learning. So an educated person is someone who has a lot of life experience and book learning. Usually accompanied by a few college degrees, but not always.
An educated person is one who has been educated (gone to school). That's why it's called that.
Many people with genius IQs have chosen to end education early or to forego it entirely. That does not lower their IQs.
IQ measures a person's knowledge against the "average" person's knowledge, which is set at 100--so it's not really that accurate to declare a person with a high IQ to be "educated". The term educated basically means that a person has gone through schooling and is well-learned. The term educated can be differentiated between "wise", "smart", or "intelligient".
Not really either. IQ can can be changed by getting an education. Because IQ tests are not accurate in that way.
Educated person is someone who actually goes to college or some level and learns about what they speak about.
There are too many people out there that just talk out of their butts and they use facts that they get from their heads.
educated people is the person who can implicate their knowledge to their all envioreinments, so not just knowing, but doing.
One can be very educated and not very smart. They may have acquired knowledge through study. There are many very smart people who have no education, they acquired much naturally. An IQ is just a number to show your ability to learn.
I have a 'genius level' I.Q., and I'm 'educated' ... but I have learned a lot from people who are of 'extremely low I.Q.' ... they call them 'learning disabled' but I grew up thinking of them as 'retarded' ... so I think that a 'truly educated person' is one who 'never stops learning' through his/her whole life, and who can 'recognize brilliance' in EVERYONE, not just the 'ones with the highest I.Q.'
An educated person is, simply, just someone who has been educated. It doesn't make them smart, just educated. IQ is a statistical measure of overall intelligence.
When you get into specifics, however, often neither matters. Theoretically smart people can be very stupid on many things. Just as even the "stupidest" person has smarts on at least a couple things.
A truly educated person is one in whom there are evidences of the education. Since we are not giving IQ tests to those we meet, we can only infer intelligence from behavior. There are many people who are supposedly educated who got through school without ever really changing themselves or learning anything significant. It's like so many other things, they got out of it what they put into it. Another factor is intelligence. Computer programmers used to have a saying: "garbage in, garbage out". In other words, there is only so much you can do with the originial raw material. Therefore it is my logical opinion that credentials are not a measure of education. They are a measure of the ATTEMPT to educate. Also, anyone can recite facts ad nauseum. In my opinion this also is not true education, knowledge or intelligence. So, how do we recognise an educated / intelligent person? First of all by the way they speak. The vocabulary they use. Their use of language. Then there is the content of their speech. The way they string ideas together. Their understanding of what you say to them. Then there is a certain amount of expertise in one or two areas, where they go beyond bare facts and can elaborate on concepts; theories and applications. Or, in the humanities, can discuss a class of work or a few works in depth. Finally it is also in a range of knowledge. an educated person should have been exposed to a variety of areas and should have some breadth of knowledge (also usually a sign of intelligence).
Well let's get "educated" out off the way. educated is NOT someone who has gone to school or college for that matter. An educated person can be someone who learned on their own, at home. That person can also be smart. IQ is merely a measure of intelligence based on a set of questions that are supposed to have some profoundly "smart" meaning when in fact most "intelligent" people will never use the garbage in their lives anyway.
Look at Einstein for instance. He barely attended much school at all and yet he was intelligent, but that doesn't mean he could have passed an IQ test. Many people that are famous in history had little or no formal education and yet were considered very smart (or intelligent if you will).
So when someone says that in order to be smart you have to have been taught something, gone to school or college, they're full of, well, you know. So, an educated person is one who either learned on their own or in school, NOT one or the other specifically. IQ is not really a good measure of "smarts" because even people who pass those tests can do "stupid" things.
Anyone can became educated. Its only a matter of learning. How long it takes depends on many things, but a high Intelligence Quotient doesn't hurt.
