Why does fluid intelligence not correlate with critical thinking and thinking outside the box? There are a lot of chinkoids and even white people who have a high fluid intelligence are very hardworking but they're complete bots. Why is this the case and what is the reason for why IQ isn't correlated to critical thinking and thinking for yourself?
>>16555705IQ isn't intelligence. It's a correlate of intelligence that can be reliably measured. IQ correlates with intelligence the way height correlates with basketball skill. The taller you are, the more likely you are to be good at basketball, but height isn't a direct measure of basketball skill. It's hard to measure basketball skill, but it's easy to measure height and it correlates well with basketball skill. Similarly, it's hard to measure intelligence, but it's easy to measure IQ, and it correlates well with intelligence, so it's a useful proxy.
>>16555721so I could still have a chance of being intelligent with a low IQ?
>>16555727intelligent people will have higher IQ but higher IQ doesn't mean you are intelligent as proved by the retard organization mensa
>>16555735it's over

>>16555821So like Feynman?
>>16555825Feynman was a troll, so I take his claim of having a 125 IQ with a grain of salt, but it's possible.
>>16555727Very unlikely but not entirely impossible. IQ is just a model, and like all models its accuracy has limits. I wouldn't argue that a 57iq individual could become an Electrical Engineer, but conversely I think the obsession with minute IQ differences between say, 115 to 120 is just mental wankery in many cases - people trying desperately to quantify and compare figures that supposedly explain their own value. Unlike dicks and femur lengths however, intelligence is far more vague and thus the social obsession with IQ scores erroneously grants undue confidence and ego to those who look too deeply at these figures for validation. It is important to remember that IQ is by no means an invalid measurement, just that IQ alone is not the whole story when considering a human's total competence. IQ tests were designed to accurately weed out the intellectually disabled, the higher you go the more vague their answers become.
