It’s Not Very Intelligent to Overreact to Everything

Posted by Ann Sattley on Sunday, February 10th, 2013

In this episode, I discuss how intelligence tests aren’t really measuring intelligence. Then, I go on to talk about some very unintelligent things, like overreacting to normal childhood behavior and people getting into legal trouble for saving a baby deer.

Here are some links that are discussed in the podcast:

IQ Tests are Misleading

Kids Disciplined for Imaginary Sword Fight

Indiana Couple in Legal Trouble for Saving a Deer

The Deer Helps, But Not Everyone Fighting the Gov’t Has One On Their Side

Cell Phone Ban Difficult to Enforce

@chrisspangle Haha. Funny picture of you with the "deer." By the way, I have narrated three audiobooks available on audible.

@chrisspangle Of course. I'll check it out now. I'm behind on podcasts because my speakers are acting up.
