From the submitted blog post: "In it’s raw form, IQ stands for intelligence quotient, and is based upon a test invented by famous psychologist William Stern." That sentence has two bad mistakes right there. The author of this post has no idea what he is writing about. "So, while IQ might indicate intelligence, it’s not a great predictor of how you actually perform in life." The stupidity here is claiming that something else is a better predictor of how you actually perform in life. The author's term "technical intelligence" is so vaguely defined in the blog post, with no standardized example of how to estimate it, that the suggestion to look for technical intelligence ends up being useless. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5227923 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5227923 for a recent posting of a FAQ about the most optimal way to hire capable workers (if that is your concern) for technical jobs, with a lot of links to careful research on the issue.
