In fairness to other points of view,
unisci.com Daily University Science News holds that visuospatial ability might be the best test of intelligence.
Their statement onsite statement is that "Psychologists have evidence that strong visuospatial skills and working memory may be at least as good as verbal skills and working memory as indicators of general intelligence."
Quoting from the December 2008 Journal of Experimental Psychology - General, published by the American Psychological Association (APA), they cite a research team of five pychologists who tested 167 participants on a variety of tasks seeking to identify relationships among spatial abilities (abilities to solve visuospatial problems), visuospatial working memory (temporary storage much like computer RAM, and executive regulatory functioning.
Miyake et al. examined how well visuospatial working memory and executive function correlated with three basic spatial abilities. They observed that participants who were better at visualizing, and could rapidly solve complex visuospatial problems also had stronger executive function.
"Traditional IQ tests have more verbally oriented items than visuospatial," says the article's lead author, Akira Miyake, Ph.D., of the University of Colorado at Boulder. "Understanding the nature of visuospatial abilities and their relationships to general intelligence or to general-purpose executive functions should contribute strongly to more fair and comprehensive tests of intelligence."
Grateful as the Highway Of Natural Ways is for these citations from Unisci.com, and Journal of Experimental Psychology - General, Vol. 130, No. 4.), these references are shared most of all for the purpose of indicating and supporting the Highway Of Natural Ways contention that intelligence is not static. Human beings have any number of abilities and skills with which to expand the use of our mental resources, increasing intelligence about as often as one wishes to.
First off, the Highway Of Natural Ways is about configuring how most people, including you, can make pragmatic use of such a study?
Where are the daily practical implications? The best test of intelligence is found in pragmatic realities of life,
where what we do speaks so much more in the way of testing someone's intelligence, than anything we say, or even put on paper.
Michavel Rutter, by way of his "Developmental Psychiatry," may not have realized how amusing it is when he comments on Raven's Progressive Matrics, David Wechsler's WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children which makes an assessment of a child's intelligence without requiring any reading or writing), and a version of the Binet test, propounds the idea that the examiner gives the test most likely to achieve the outcome most associated with the intent of giving the test in first place.
Foster Corbin, in the tenth of his Walter Mosley series, insists that having a sense of humor is the best test of intelligence.
Another wit claims that the best test of intelligence is what we do with our free time or leisure.
Some believe that the best test of intelligence accurately reflects ability in fields of cutting edge science, mathematics, social articulation and leadership.
For all these many coigns of vantage, the belief is becoming more widespread that I.Q. tests are not the best test of intelligence at all.
Whatever you think or merely believe is the best test of usable intellect or overall intelligence, the Highway Of Natural Ways holds firm in proven belief that the best test of intelligence is found in how we answer the questions outlined above.
This means you do not need to rely upon anyone else for determining the answers to this "best test of intelligence.
Speak less, and do more, which is in itself a very powerful shortcut that you are going to want to consider more than a few times, and quite more than superficially. This is a potent and important shortcut for increasing human intelligence, even better than use of the biotuner,
which is an electro-magnetic approach to boosting intelligence that has yielded an impressive range of reported benefits.
It may yet prove to be that the best test of intelligence is, after all, how we respond to an opposing position in any area of human interest, especially those areas that are most important to us individually. Think about it.
