> Why do we celebrate athleticism, musical talent, and other forms of ability in others, yet also feel so fiercely insecure about other people's IQ test scores that we have to co-opt the term "intelligence" itself? To apply it to socialization skills and other various abilities. Other than perhaps video games being labeled as "e-sports", you see no major push to label the less physically gifted as "mental athletes", or any other co-opt. I would think there's a social, visual, and auditory aspect with athleticism and musical talent that other types or intelligence don't have. Music and rhythm start in the womb so that's naturally something we all gravitate to. Sports are easily measurable and almost anyone can relate to not being able to shoot three-pointers one after another. Things happening solely in the mind are much harder to celebrate.
