EE2 has nothing to do with intelligence
It has everything to do looking like you've done something.

Oh well I know I always seem to mention what extension classes I'm taking (3unit math and advanced English). I guess it wouldn't have made much sense to say "why aren't I getting better marks in general math?" - Answer: YOU'RE A DUMBARSE! But no, extension 2 English? Wow you must be pretty frickin' smart, to a person of average academic level or par, to even attempt such a feat, to even be considered worthy for such a prestigious placement.

Apparently, there are different forms of intelligence. So while the topic suggests all MetalHeads are intelligent, it doesn't necessarily mean academically so... as you pointed out what with your not achieving satisfactory marks that was a blatant attempt at status recognition. There's also a thing called emotional intelligence which is another form of intelligence amongst many others I'm sure... I'm not going to tell you what Google can already tell you, but basically it's being able to express yourself emotionally, being aware of your emotions and being able to manage them positively.

Of course they are a genius, they are a MetalHead; of a very intelligent breed, which means they have the right to assert their privilege over those not as gifted to enjoy metal music ie; teeny boppers.

There are other forms of intelligence, See wiki for more details:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_intelligences
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Intelligence

Whilst wiki isn't the font of credible knowledge it does provide a starting point

Uhm. When did I say I didn't achieve satisfactory marks? I'm in 3rd year uni, do you have any idea what aspect of my life you're talking about? What part of that sentence

Intelligence doesn't always mean academic intelligence.
is my attempt of getting status recognition?

Wow, what the fuck.

NOT YOU.
I was actually quoting that in relation to upthedownstair's post. Sigh, I'll order the quotes for you... in a sec.

Just like that UWS-Uni-Student who quoted what I said in relation to elaborating on it further for upthedownstair because obviously I made it clear in my post that I acknowledge the different forms of intelligence.... who told you exactly what Google could have told you, websites included, because they can be bothered.

When you quote someone and respond after that quote without any context, it is probably safe to assume that you are now talking to them :)

Section 1
upthedownstair: if metalheads are intelligent then wtf happened to me??!?!? why aren't i getting better marks in ext2 eng?!
Legham: Haha, you'd have to have a decent level of intelligence to even attempt ext2 english
upthedownstair: Haha hmm... point taken
Emma: That question was a total set up.


ur_inner_child could have been speaking generally, but I interpreted it to be intended for upthedownstair in relation to section 1:
Intelligence doesn't always mean academic intelligence.
Emma giving an example of how you could have intelligence, ignoring that you guys settled on “just attempting extension 2 English” as showing intelligence:
Yeah, perhaps you have emotional intelligence. Ftw

upthedownstair: yeah lol it was a total complete setup coz im a fucking n00b. emotional intelligence? wtf... : pleaseelaborate:

Emma to upthedownstair in relation to section 1 and “yeah lol it was a total complete setup coz im a fucking n00b”:

Emma “elaborating” on emotional intelligence:

I probably interpreted that all wrong but meh, you know where I'm coming from now. Any questions?
