>>11509308>why do many rate Isaac Newton so highly?Because he made an outstanding contribution to science. He introduced a general mathematical treatment for mechanics, whereas previously only domain-specific mathematical treatments (e.g: Kepler laws) and quantitative results existed.
>he had to reread Descartes' Geometry dozens of times before he considered himself to have mastered the text.Because he had higher standards, not because he was less intelligent.
>extremely obsessive.One needs to be obsessive to achieve results of any value in any rigorous area.
>IQIQs are not a single evaluation. There are many “IQ tests” that evaluate different things, each a score in a silly game, and conflate those scores as if they were interchangeable. There is no such thing as “intellectually quotient”. There is no objective way to evaluate intelligence. Any test that purports to evaluate intelligence is ladden by its own subjective concept of what intelligence is.
