A speaker argues that IQ tests are useless for measuring intelligence because they only capture processing speed and concept-matching, missing physical, spatial, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Without a real definition of intelligence, claims about artificial general intelligence are premature.
I can't let this go.
Oh, here's the rant. Okay.
We don't know what intelligence is. Okay. We, the IQ test measures two aspects of intelligence.
Hey, do that eye roll again, Alex. That was awesome.
Well, look, you've got to take this into account. There's physical intelligence, there's spatial intelligence, there's emotional intelligence, there's spiritual intelligence. If you're a business leader, you're using emotional intelligence a great deal of the time to make judgment calls. That's not even in the equation. Raw brute forcing power of speed of thought processing and the ability to match concepts across frameworks is the IQ test. But that's a very limited aspect of intelligence. So I call bullshit on this until we can have a clear definition and a test for what we mean by even intelligence, forget artificial, forget general.
