Why is vocabulary considered a good measure of g? Isn’t it first and foremost a reflection of acquired knowledge?

How much knowledge you've acquired correlates heavily with how intelligent you are.

That's only under the assumption that people's environments are comparable, obviously

No because people who aren't complete brainlets can intuit out the meaning of words on past patterns even if they've never seen them before based on words anybody who is a native speaker knows

nah, its more then that. natural languages work alot like formal structures, so one that sees mathematical patterns is more likely to develop rich language skills.

False. Being eloquent means you understand what it is that you're saying. Regardless of circumstance or environment but a higher understanding of context is literally what defines IQ.

Over the general population, they are of course comparable.

>more intelligent people understand things at a deeper lever, therefore they can acquire more knowledge
I said the same thing, but it's nice that you elaborated on it.

Pretty sure intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with "being eloquent"

Specialists collect vocabulary and concepts in their fields and can apply them

But random english profs and boomers that just sprinkle vocabulqry with redundent meaning are frauds

They’re not talking about computer science coding, they’re talking about a processing speed subtest in the wais

When I had my test done, the tester told me during it that I’d maxed out on the two important VCI items, Similarities and Vocab. I don’t believe it counts for too much in my case.

I care more about performance. On the block design I did all designs (except for one) within the time limit. I hope that gives me a score that’s at least average. Interestingly enough, she said that I had performed “very fast” on the most difficult item giving me extra points.

She also said I did “alright” on matrix
reasoning after telling me that I was doing a really good job. Whatever the hell that means. I don’t trust psychologists.
