Language really has nothing to do with how intelligent a person is.  If you visit a country whose people speak in a language you do not speak, everyone there would consider you an imbecile. You would be deprived of work, of friendship, and of love.

Unfortunately we base our assessment of a person's intelligence on his ability to communicate. Yet, I have known, loved, and cherished many VERY INTELLIGENT people within the 65 years of my life who have been handicapped by their inability to express themselves in words.

This is why I have never believed in IQ tests, which are not only culture-bound and religion-bound but language-bound as well.
