>>11584031the more original IQ tests, afaik, were done by taking hundreds of random test questions from many different places and fields, with varying difficulty. And then, the score of the questions are evened out so that the average is 90 points.
When people got it higher, that meant they were able to answer more of the questions, but since it was many questions and many different subjects, it evens out to it not being a matter of special knowledge, but of the ability to derive knowledge on the spot.
I think ever since they've been trying to move away from having special knowledge included at all.
Intelligence, in the psychological terms, is just how quick you are at making connections between things. It's measurable, identifiable, and correlates to many things. Not very vague and ambiguous like people, for some reason, tend to think it is.
