IQ tests only measure a few factors, which may well be quite closely correlated. But I don't think everyone who does well in IQ tests has good social skills, is good at painting, playing a musical instrument, speaking a foreign language, playing football, or juggling (or could become good at them with sufficient practice). You could argue that these have nothing to do with intelligence, but they're clearly cognitive skills.
- jessriedel 11y agoPlaying a musical instrument, speaking a foreign language, and social skills, are definitely strongly correlated with IQ-loaded tests like the SAT. Yep. I have no idea how football fairs, but you can debate the usefulness of that as an objection to the validity of IQ with someone else.
