re: #171 Obdicut
No, it’s not. Can you name an IQ test which is a measure of that ability to apply knowledge to novel tasks, please?
You seem to want to argue on the basis of exceptions.
I claim, to use one common example, that obtaining a college degree, or a PHD, is an example of applying knowledge (and gaining knowledge) to novel tasks. One “IQ” test that is a good predictor of that is SAT scores.
