I hate when IQ comes up on Hacker News because it's a topic that everyone feels like they have something to contribute on, and there's so many misconceptions floating around it's hard to know what's "orthodox" so to speak. Does anyone have a good reference about what the current, academic general understanding with regard to intelligence is? Are there any surveys of practicing psychologists, etc? The best I've found is the "Intelligence Knowns and Unknowns"[0] task force report published by the American Psychological Association in 1995, but I'm not aware of any such report since then. My takeaways from that report, are that IQ does capture the concept of "intelligence" that most people understand exists, that the tests aren't biased or flawed anymore, that IQ can't really be changed with any known interventions, and that it correlates well with success in school, jobs, and life. I'd love to know if that's still the academic consensus. You'd never know from these threads where people chime in with their own anecdotes what's real.
