my temporal and spatial memory is much higher than average. I got 5 hours sleep today and I still scored 22% higher than average. It took me less than 1 minute and a half to complete the whole recognition test.
But Chimps and other animals have very good memory. It's nothing to brag about.
I'm constantly called an idiot on this site. So my Primate level memory doesn't seem to impress anyone.
I got good marks in school, and worked full time... Basically because I can cram material very quickly.

Well I would say that IQ tests do not reflect the total sum of a persons intelligences rather it reflects quantifiable things like linguistics, spatial memory and quantitative reasoning but true it should be the only indicator of overall human intelligence.

Nah.. I think this is just more "feel good" summer movie stuff. Clearly, People with higher IQs are better at solving problems, and do better in life overall.
Sure someone's intelligence can be defined by many different things, but Reasoning and logic trump all in this modern society
Good memory, Art and music skills, and other traits, I think, are certainly good innate skills. However, there aren't worth much in today's society.
I think the masters of language (think successful salesmen) and reason/logic (STEM, finance) are most valuable skills in today's society. That's what matters.
That's pretty dope...my temporal and spatial memory is much higher than average. I got 5 hours sleep today and I still scored 22% higher than average. It took me less than 1 minute and a half to complete the whole recognition test.

But how well can you apply the knowledge, in a modern day context? If not, then simply memorizing concepts, that hold little value to you, is a waste of time.
But then again, I may be biased, I've always sought after knowledge(information) from a strictly intrinsic point of view...

Calling a salesman a master of language is a bad, reductive joke and reducing the skills of scientists and mathematicians to just reason and logic is ridiculous.
As a matter of fact, the whole notion of reasoning and logic being the be-all, end-all of this current cultural constriction that we live in is borderline ridiculous (To make one argument). To be honest, those two skills in a human may be the least valued skills that one needs in an abstract sense (To make another, divergent, but possibly even related argument).

being "smart" has now become soemthing relative to me now. that einstein quote is the truth
like me, i never studied a day in my life, but always did good on my engineering tests and was told im smart being able to pick things up quickly, but i make stupid irrational life decisions based on emotions/impulse
my boy . he has pretty much the best memory i can remember, reads all day, can recite back pretty much anything hes learned. talks about/reads about things most people woudl scoff at, but basically uses his energy to wildly go off the deep end with conspiracys and what ifs and can never focus on his life and still works at the same sub shop he has since 17 (hes 26)
my dude neima from college was a genius who never studied, never did drugs, got A's on every engineering exam with no prep. but basically downloaded tv shows and watched tv all day with no social life and wasted his life away on torrents
my one boy swears he coulda/shoulda went to MIT, very street smart/good hustler/playa to the bytches. but his ego is out of control cause hes pullin in good money for someone who didnt goto school and likes to rub it in the faces of people who aint making money
most people i met in college i wouldnt call intelligent at all actually
idk, i dont think a tets could prove anything as everyones different. i think the word intelligence/gent should be redefined really caus ethere are a whole lotta smart/dumb mofos out there and it evens out really well

Your ability to remember things makes you "appear" smarter. Think about it, if you read a book and memorized all the contents after one pass, you would be considered a genius. You could read a book on another language and instantly become bilingual.
But, that wouldn't necessarily mean one has the cognitive abilities to think complex problems out.
People who can retain things in long term memory, short term memory and cannot figure out simple and complex problems or make smart decisions are called dumb-ass sister-in-laws.

I think we equate intelligence with test taking way too much these days.

as someone who fits that description, i wholeheartedly agree with you.
Nobody this site would call me smart, but I have an above average memory. Way above average apparently.
Even though these articles are meant to equalize us, we all instinctively know that reasoning and logic skills are much more important than memory.
There is a utopian mindset in the discussion of this topic but when it comes to the people we know and interact with, we never apply these theories.
would you want some an impaired logic ability, but a good memory representing you in court or evaluating you medicially. I don't think so.
