Fairy dust, who blocks me, asks
The person who makes the test determines what aptitudes will be measured. BUT. What we call "IQ" is the largest eigenvector of a high dimensional covariance matrix. Howard Gardner made strong arguments for eight independent dimensions of "intelligence" and there may be more. The largest eigenvector might represent 1/3 of the total observed variation, so ignoring the other components leaves out most of the "intelligence."
Who determines what even a high IQ is 🤷🏼♀

@ElwoodBlues I don't believe you know what you typed actually means because you wouldn't be on SW if you did. Nice try though

@IndigoSavage Many years ago I used to work at a place where we used and abused statistical tools to do a form of machine learning. A lot of statistical tools emerge from covariance matrices (they are an extension of standard deviation into multiple dimensions). The eigenvectors of an covariance matrix have some very useful properties; one of the most useful is that they're all mutually orthagonal.

Well, you're wrong. I know of some of us on here who do have a high IQ.

Everyone should know about his disgusting custody battle with Grimes the boy's mother and how he kept that baby from seeing his mother for 5 months.
Hes a good human shield so hes good at being a rook ;)

Who cares? The point was to make his grown children jealous that day! Throw away child, here telling you - that's a throw away!

A lot of people with allegedly high IQ levels, have no common sense lol

@Fairydust the scientists?

They needed an extra pawn, that's all.
Besides that, Trump isn't exactly a great judge of intelligence when he rewrites history to suit his own narrative.

The child was practically a chess piece in that ludicrous scenario, so he's halfway there already.

@Richard65 making grown adopted kid jealous was the point.

@Roundandroundwego I thought the boy might be one of Musk's DOGE team, checking out multi-billion government contracts. The kid gets to veto any deal he's not happy with.

@Richard65 bio kid was formed in a tube and surrogate gestated for money to make the trans kid wish he was still rich. It's not that I follow Musk, it's typical rich family and I've been watching these for decades.
