Psychopaths tend to punctuate sentences they're speaking with more hand-gestures or beats, as researchers call them.

Originally posted by jennypie Bear with me, I'm not as articulate as some of you fucks. Cultural influences on communication aside, I was wondering whether there was a correlation between intelligence and use or non-use of expressive non-verbal communication. On one hand, I think that a person who gesticulates a lot and makes very overt facial expressions might be showing greater intelligence, in a kinesthetic sense. In a way I can see this type of person being more wholly in tune with what they think and feel. But on the other hand, does it not show a different type of intelligence to be able to express more, with less? This applies to not only the sender of the message, but the receiver, too. To be able to perceive more on less information seems, uh, smarter? I thought about this with words, too...and the ironic fact that to be able to communicate with less words, one actually has to know a whole fuck load of 'em. I suppose this all depends on how one defines intelligence, but I'm not looking to get into a debate about that, either. Anyway, as I thought of this, I made it seem perfectly logical in my mind that we should be able to communicate telepathically. Right? RIGHT?? Oh yeah, and I was watching Bob Blumer's 'Glutton for Punishment' just now and he was in a nettle eating and beer drinking competition - and it made me think of ********.

intelligence?! did some girl make you feel insecure?

Yeah that's it, lol.

you don't have to get defensive. it's just a question.

You're an idiot.

I believe I read it in Without Conscience by Dr. Robert Hare and, subsequent to that reading, saw it in a program called Most Evil on Investigation Discovery.

Kind of - yes, but it's more prominent. I believe Hare described it as though it were almost less about emphasis and more about rhythm.

Heh, reminds me a little bit of concepts illustrated through traits of Disney characters in The Te of Piglet.
