I'm pretty sure studies show bilingual people generally have higher iqs.....



Lol just from my experiences I am going to go with no. Shit loads of latino’s in my area that are “bi-lingual” and they are not the brightest.

e/ But to be fair, I don’t think it’s an indicator of anything. Kid next door who is a Latino is fluent in English, Spanish and French and his parents can’t speak English. So it is what it is.

Totally incorrect.

"Being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain, improving cognitive skills not related to language and even shielding against dementia in old age. This view of bilingualism is remarkably different from the understanding of bilingualism through much of the 20th century"

Learning a second language will make you more intelligent, but doesn't necessarily mean you have a higher iq then average because you know more languages

The happy reality is that IQ scores:

A) measure developed skills, not native intelligence.

B ) can change dramatically.

C) don't say anything about a person's intellectual limits.

Everything I am reading on the subject says it may increase IQ but doesnt necessarily mean it will, however it will increase your intelligence

Edit: eddie alvarez predicts conor will be stripped after the Tony/Khabib weigh ins. Thoughts?
