IQ has never been linked to intelligence, considered there is no agreed upon definition for intelligence.
- dukeofdoom 5y agoYeah maybe, but that's a little like claiming Usain Bolt isn't the fastest man in the world because there is no agreed definition of "fastest man", because everyone can have their own definition of what is means to be the fastest man. IQ is the best measure we have to compare how fast your brain stores and processes information compared to others.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoSure, that could be a reasonable thing to say about IQ. But "fastest man" is well defined, because speed is well-defined. "being fast at storing and processing information" is a candidate for a definition of intelligence, but far from the only one. So no, it's nothing like claiming that Usain Bolt isn't the fastest man in the world. Or maybe it is: Bolt is almost certainly not the fastest person over 100 miles, so what kind of speed / intelligence are we discussing?
- dukeofdoom 5y agoIQ tests tend to have a mix of questions to measure: "verbal comprehension, processing speed, perceptual organization, and working memory"
