i've always been intrigued by how to test for intelligence.
i think it requires a different way of testing than how most IQ testing is done.
to me, intelligence is the ability to analyze a completely new question or situation and solve the issue.
most tests such as ACT are based on knowledge previously learned. this is a memory test, not an IQ test.
this reminds me of the book smart idiots i had to deal with in industry.
as the old saying goes...put a guy on a flat rock and see how he survives. that's the real IQ test.
creativity/imagination is the best test for high IQ. training in math, science, etc., aids creativity but doesn't measure it.
i hate to admit it, but i have to give bill credit for fairly high IQ... he started with nothing and figured out how to screw the people out of $100 million and how to screw half the women he met.
