- But I do believe that this measure has proven itself time and time again to be an reliable, if not perfect, predictor of a person's ability to perform intellectually.
I agree there. It measures a certain type of intelligence quite well. In undergrad, one of my classmates was working on an engineering problem in our student lounge. This guy was straight A, just brilliant. The problem he was working on dealt with heat exchange in a plant, and the water cooling system. I remember him turning to me and quite seriously asking if I thought it mattered if the flow out of the plant was lower than flow going in. Intelligence is a funny thing.
