A lot of people with allegedly high IQ levels, have no common sense lol
Who determines what even a high IQ is 🤷🏼♀

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."

@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 that some of us on here who do have a high IQ.

Not necessarily.
Conventional IQ tests only show your ability to answer their questions; not future skill in any particular discipline, be it chess or anything else.
The child might be bright but have gifts in other directions, such as playing music or learning languages.

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!
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.
