Anthropology is important in today's world too.  It was probably partly the reason Nick Clegg was recruited for a senior role at Facebook.

Just my opinion of course but Jeremy Bamber is innocent and a couple from UK, unknown to T9, abducted Madeleine McCann - motive unknown.  Was J J murdered as a result of identifying as a goth?

Nick Clegg has a degree in Anthropology:

On another note some valued members have left this forum because of your arrogance.  Such a shame that you being relatively new here have upset some really lovely people.

Sorry Spy, I can't agree with this. I did a BA in psychology and to pass, not only do you have to understand complicated and abstract concepts, you need a good sound knowledge of how statistic work and how to apply various different statistical criteria to validate studies. The social sciences are used to find reasons why certain things happen at a given time and be able to validate their findings.

BS's in psychology rely heavily on biology, chemistry and maths too.

You obviously haven’t looked into this properly. The minimum score for entry into Mensa is different for various ways of testing. The minimum score on the Stanford-Binet is 132.  My daughter’s test was carried out under the required controlled conditions by an educational psychologist. I am not sure which test she took but she was invited to join Mensa and was a member for a while but as there was nothing going on in her area she had no one to link up with.

On another note some valued members have left this forum because of your arrogance.  Such a shame that you being relatively new here have upset some really lovely people. I am not arguing with you any longer as you are just not worth it.

I was actually tested by Mensa.

This here is from Mensa itself:

“On the Culture Fair test used by British Mensa, a score of 132 places a candidate in the top two per cent of the population (the average IQ is taken as 100).  On the Cattell B III, also commonly used by Mensa, a score of 148 or above would be required.  All Mensans are in the top two per cent by IQ whichever scale their intelligence was measured by.”

As I said previously, the minimum score for entry to Mensa is 148, which is the test I took as I scored just 136.

I was unaware they did a Culture Fair test where the required minimum figure was 132; but having quickly scanned it I see they’re the same tests, with same result requirements, but one is measured, if you like, in Imperial, whilst the other is in metric — if that makes sense.

Regardless, well done to your daughter, you must be proud.

Holly Bamber isn’t clueless about his case as you’ve claimed


It was at this point I realised JB was absolutely clueless about his case.

Mr Bamber has unrivalled knowledge of the case."

Snip/

They may find it easer to find a job, but they won’t earn as much as their peers who trained for more skilful degrees. Social sciences don’t even have a distinctive skill; it’s an easy, non-rigorous way to get a degree; they don’t need to go through as many classes and it’s an easy route for students who are viewed as underachievers. That may be unfair, but it’s how it is.



Please try to provide some evidence to support your claims. In particular your claim that underachievers take Social Science degrees. I'm not interested in your (imo) rather strange opinions. 

Birmingham University offers one of the best Psychology degrees out there (Bsc). The 'underachievers' will need 3 A's in their A Levels to get in, and not in mickey mouse subjects either;

Number of A levels required:
3
Typical offer:
AAA
Specified subjects excluded for entry: We do not accept General Studies, Critical Studies, Critical Thinking, Science in Society, World Development, Communication and Culture, Citizenship Studies and Use of Maths.

No one needs to leave the forum upset.  If anyone experiences problems with any aspect of the forum there are enough moderators who they can talk to in confidence.

There is some biology/chemistry from brain study and I mentioned the maths aspect which is mainly stats. It is in no way an easy option fort a degree and if anyone goes into it expecting that, they will most likely fail.

I’m sorry to hear some “really lovely people” have left this forum because of me. I suspect they’ve mistaken my honest views on the convicted murderer, Jeremy Bamber as arrogance...typical 🙄

Appears to me Daisy might have made this up ?  *&^^&

Not all psych degrees are the same. I had to do a BSc -I'd have preferred a BA- because that's what was on offer..
