What's the difference between "problem solving" and "IQ" ? They seem like almost the same thing.
- madamelic 9y agoProblem-solving: the ability to deconstruct a problem into atomic pieces and construct solutions IQ: How fast you do it. tl;dr: Problem-solving is software, IQ is hardware
- jaibot 9y ago"IQ" is a scalar semi-objectice well-defined metric that predicts some things about the much more complicated and less-well-defined concept of problem solving.
- goialoq 9y ago"IQ" measures something called "G", which is pattern-recognition ability (coincidentally the cutting edge of today's ML neural nets). The scientific theory of IQ is that that if you are good at pattern recognition, then you will be good at a wide range of cognitive tasks.
