FIVE PROPERTIES OF DEMONSTRATED INTELLIGENCE

Demonstrated intelligence consists of a set of primary functions any one of which will fail you, but if none of them fails, compensates substantially for differences in IQ.

All people with demonstrated intelligence are the same, all demonstratedly unintelligent people are different.

1 – Intelligence, esp, verbal. (rate you reduce information to patterns)

2 – short term memory (the ability to maintain states, and therefore sustain comparative searches and comparisons)

3 – general knowledge (inventory of patterns that intelligence can search for patterns)

4 – “wants”, (wanting correspondence with or difference from reality, or force you to select general knowledge that confirms the biases.)

5 – genetic intuitions (genetic influences that harmfully bias wants)

If all of these work to some degree you will be functionally intelligent’ regardless of your IQ. If any one of these is substantially defective it will not matter what your IQ is.

BY ANALOGY, DOMESTICATABLE ANIMALS:

All domesticatable animals are the same, all undomesticatable animals are different.

1 – cannot be picky eaters

2 – reach maturity quickly

3 – willing to breed in captivity

4 – docile by nature

5 – conform to a social hierarchy

If any one of these fails the animal is not domesticatable (in numbers).

BY ANALOGY, HAPPY FAMILIES

“all happy families are the same, all unhappy families are different”. As Dostoyevsky stated, if any one of the criteria for a happy family is absent the family will be unhappy.
