Is there a correlation with writing ability and IQ?

[ChefPapiChulo]

I have noticed, people with poor writing ability tend to have trouble with logic.

Is there a correlation?

Another example of while X = Y, that does not mean Y = X. Those who are rather dumb would struggle with writing, but someone who is intelligent may be good with writing, others not so much, and some may never have been taught it at all. This is because our language is taught, it isn't something we're born with. It's hard to teach someone who isn't that smart something even with proper schooling, but smart people may have never had proper schooling. Intelligent people may be able to teach themselves but only to a certain extent. If you never hear certain words in your entire life, no wonder they will never be said. The same goes for if you only see slang and abbreviations. Some people also don't write or text like they're doing an essay and are therefore laxer with it.

" while X = Y, that does not mean Y = X." ? It certainly does when you're talking about real numbers. The Symmetric Property states that for all real numbers x and y, if x = y, then y = x.
If X=4 and Y=X, then Y=4.

@loveslongnails lol

[loveslongnails]

I don't know what she was thinking?

[Valkyria]

@loveslongnails I'm not talking about maths lol. I'm saying that just because snow is white, does not mean that everything white is therefore snow. Just because someone who is dumb sucks at writing, does not mean that everyone who sucks at writing is dumb.

[ChefPapiChulo]

is snow white tho? have you ever peed on snow?

[Whatthefluff]

I don’t think so, because dyslexia does not affect overall intelligence. I also agree that you may see a pattern with a lack of education and a lack of critical thinking, but the poor writing would be a side effect of that and not the quotient itself.

Albert Einstein - Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.

[ChefPapiChulo]

I don’t think he actually said that but true.

[FifiJones]

Some. Complex thought expression and critical ability are indicators of high IQ (vs, say 'I wanna fuck' as the most complex thought even a dog can express).

[ChefPapiChulo]

Lol.

[SaoirseS]

I don't know. Interesting question, though. It could be more a lack of education than IQ.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Maybe.
