What does having value or interest to you have to do with intelligence?

What does IQ have to do with intelligence?

(Please forgive the flippant response. I believe it cuts to the core of what the parent was intending.)

  • Is it a serious question? IQ tries to quantify the positive correlation between the results of all intellectual tasks a person takes (AKA positive manifold).

    • Whatever the people who came up with IQ intended isn’t really relevant to the question of whether IQ measures intellect. At best is is loosely correlated. Very loosely.
