NO, spatial and math intelligence are the same g-loading. Its math-spatial vs verbal. That’s the primary distinction.

NO, there is only one kind of intelligence, with perhaps eighty different innate talents, however, they all scale such that G or general intelligence, that is higher or lower will raise all innate talents or lower all skills proportionally.

The marginal differences are produced by hours of practice with any given talent on any different problem. However, always, a person with higher intelligence performing the same number of hours of practice will defeat the person of lower numbers. The only place this does not seem to matter as much is athletics and we are not sure why other than the hind brain and spinal cord makes less use of the neocortex and so requires less intelligence. Even then, we see more intelligent people outperform less.

Yes, the ‘backwardness’ of Slavs has been a serious question for more than a century. The lack of intellectual contributions, patents, innovations. We can find no genetic reason for it, although it carries through the diaspora in that germanics tend to be ‘above’ Slavs, and nordics above germanics, and normans and scotts-anglos above all others. We do not know why. It is quite possibly better opportunities for family construction in europe due to greater wealth and longer exposure to the preservation of assets in the middle class. It could be as simple as ‘bigger craniums’ for all we know.

Yes I have commented on the low trust factor of slavic peoples and why slavic peoples retain low trust corrupt and superstitious polities, and I have spoken to reporters on television, in newspapers, and on web sites. I have stated that the easy solution is to import entirely new judiciaries from western countries, because we are all but incorruptible, and this would solve the problem in the post=soviet block within a decade. The problem is that the courts are horrible, and the legal systems archaic. (although great progress has been made in the past decade and especially since 2010.)

REPEATING THE ARGUMENT

You are attempting to cast Corded ware (Polish-Ukrainian territory), with celto-italic-germanic, which is true, BUT slavs, slavonic, are (a) a much younger people, with no history and possibly only a proto-language prior to 700. So while it may be possible to say that we all share black-sea ancestors, it is false to say they were slavs. The population-radiation is out of poland, for the simple reason that it’s the best farmland other than france. It is more correct to say that today’s slavs are the youngest and most ‘recent’ white people to evolve, and possibly that they are purest genetic europeans. What you can’t say is that there is any relationship between the term slav and any of the successes in the west. There isn’t *any* justification for that. So stop using the word ‘slav’ and use ‘early europeans’ and you’re ok. The general evidence is that the people who spoke germanic languages around the north sea evolved physical traits superior to all other european tribes in the modern world, largely through self-domestication. The corded ware culture probably created the waves of european excellence in the ancient world.

It is my civic duty to mankind to expose pseudoscientific and nonsense arguments. I do this work by requiring the opposition to state their theories in operational language given the incentives in the period, where they demonstrate consistency in category, logic, correspondence, incentive (rational choice) and scope.

The errors you are making are constructivist errors: (a) using the biblical method of conflating myth, literature, and history (b) without using the scientific method of falsification requiring the most parsimonious explanation to any statement.

The technique you are using has a name, it is called ‘fictionalism’. It is similar to that used by Jewish Abrahamists looking backward, and Nostradamus looking forward (for profits), and the Reich’s propagandists, and the Soviet Propagandists. These techniques take advantage of conflating a desirable myth with the use of cherrypicking, and the total avoidance of falsification.
