Techne, in terms of what makes people good tools to do certain type of technical work. The other part is schooling in which grades indicate how good of a tool the person actually makes.
- ohaideredevs 7y agoI am not fully following what you are saying. Let's see if we actually disagree. Intelligence has two parts: 1. Crystallized intelligence - essentially your knowledge / what you have memorized (including useful heuristics, experience, etc). This can grow throughout your lifetime. 2. Fluid intelligence - in reality, this is basically defined as your "working memory", which is how many pieces of distinct information you can maintain in short term memory and work with. The magic number is 7(+-2). Anyway, this influences your ability to learn, since if you keep in mind what you just read/heard, you can connect the dots. Pieces to memorize can be grouped to make them easier to work with. As a result, an expert in a field will have pieces grouped and organized in long term memory, and WILL appear more intelligent than an amateur in the field, when discussing that field. In my, subjective, experience this can be enough to work in one field. When you want to be a Renaissance man, or compete at an extremely high level, low IQ chokes you. Even a difference of 10 points between 120 and 130 chokes you. Hopefully this wasn't a rant and you know what I mean.
