What we mean in common language by intelligence may not be a single property. It might be more analogous to smell than temperature. An inherently multi-dimensional phenomena that can't be accurately described by a scalar measure.
- nitrogen 11y agoIt's actually not that difficult to turn a multidimensional measurement into a scalar quantiry; just represent the measurement as a vector composed of the deviation from median on each axis, then find the magnitude of the vector But you're right that this doesn't tell you much about any of the individual dimensions. Maybe adding a variance across dimensions, so two numbers, would be more useful.
- zardo 11y agoOf course, but you first you want to find the most accurate representation, then reduce it to something simpler as required.
