Default What constitutes as intelligent life?
By the extent to which it disagrees with Ben?

Releasing, was closed due to the trolling getting too great.

Please restrict your trolling some, thanks.

If we discover life on another planet and is very easy to observe, how would we measure how intelligent it is compared to us?
I'd say the ability for learning, communication, tool-usage, and a lack of reality TV.

Lori has shown tremendous restraint in not editing the grammar in the OP's title.

Obviously we give it an IQ test.

This is a distinction without difference.

Lori, I don't envy you. Problem is, even if you limit yourself to thread titles, it will only result in a need to maintain eternal vigilance and swift corrective action. And for what? To make people who can't write or don't care (or are ESL) look more intelligent/thoughtful/educated than they are? It's a fool's mission.

To have both the inclination and the power to be grammar nazi and not use it? Very difficult; I feel your pain.

It's going to be a rough ride. Brace yourself.
