…there is no widely accepted definition of what “intelligence” even means. Everyone thinks they know until they actually think about it. So, to summarize:
- We can’t define it
- We can’t define •what• we want to measure
- We can’t define •how• we’d measure it
- If we were to measure it, we have no particular reason to think it’s quantifiable on a linear scale
- It’s almost certainly multidimensional
- Whenever we try to measure this mysterious unmeasurable “it” anyway, we always seem to end up with a biased metric that measure something else instead
