the only thing it measures is how good you are at taking an IQ test
The axis need to be swapped.
the punchline is that if you pay for the iq test you are instantly considered stupid and if you bribe the iq test you get a high score. everyone in between won’t pay for an iq test
The moment you pay for an IQ test - you failed it
I think the same thing applies to Mensa. If you’re paying to join the “smart people club”, how smart are you really?
if Musk’s got a high intellect-quotient, that’s fine…
What does it measure?
A very-specific subset of intelligences, crafted to leave-out female relational-intelligences, musical-intelligence, health-intelligence, among other ones…
https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Kinds-Smart-Identifying-Intelligences/dp/0452281377/
identifies 9 intelligences, & I defy most Mensa-types to consistently score high on those other ones…
It is the IQ lobby which won’t tolerate the other-intelligences to be counted equally-valid, right?
With reason: they aren’t good at those intelligences.
( hint: musical-intelligence includes multiple sub-intelligences, including, but not limited-to…
- rhythm
- harmony
- melody
- improv/jazz
- composition
- polyrhythm
- etc…
A person can have a “musical intelligence” of whatever, & be brilliant in rhythm, but lousy in harmony, xor vice versa.
Too-coarse-granularity’s consistently a problem with these damn measures : )
