I Like Intelligent People

What do you think is the most accurate way to measure intelligence? SAT scores, IQ test etc... I believe these tests are lacking in several key areas. Common sense, survival skills, emotional response and the ability to make decisions in emotionally charged situations. And most importantly, no written test can measure anything to do with adaptation to another human's behavior. I believe intelligence can not be accurately measured without taking these things into consideration. Figuring out an equation is simple, figuring out another person's motivation and what makes them tick... Takes intelligence.

@jaymic64 any ideas on how to measure intelligence? A lord of the flies situation might be a fairly good place to start...

To me no test is fully capable of measuring intelligence. There are so many forms and levels. You have to spend time around someone to get a feel for their overall intelligence level.

@jaymic64 I see your point... Social awareness should have been included in my list... Pc matters
