'''IQ''' or intelligence quotient is a person's general intelligence, seperate from common sense. IQ is basically a person's general ability to quickly learn, store, and recite information, as well as that person's ability to take whatever situation said person happens to be in, and turn that situation around toward said persons advantage. A high IQ is beneficial in all but 3 aspects of life. Making and maintaining close friends, being a loving and nurturing parent, and sexually attracting a mate. Those are the 3 areas were looks, feelings, and emotions triumph over IQ. From a [[reproductive success]] standpoint those 3 are the most important areas. From an individualist or hedonistic standpoint IQ is more important, since a high enough IQ guarantees a certain baseline measure of financial success, where [[Betabux|friends, mates, and cute adorable children to take care of can be bought]].
'''IQ''' or '''intelligence quotient''' is a measure of a person's ability, separate from common sense. IQ is measured with tests that contain cognitive tasks that are chosen to be as unrelated to culture and prior experience as possible.
 
It turns out that performance on different IQ tests correlates somewhat (r = ~0.5) which means each human has a certain amount of ''general intelligence'' that largely determines their ability to act intelligently in ''all'' cognitive task.
Abilities that are relevant for all cognitive tasks are for example to quickly learn, store, and process a maximal amount of information and quickly run through different hypotheses without losing track of things.
 
Colloquially, "IQ" is used synonymously with high general intelligence.
 
Even real-life cognitive tasks like school, work performance and even social skills are just as much correlated with IQs, so IQ can tell us a lot about people's overall performance. It is an imperfect measure, but it allows to decide about extremes very reliably, e.g. a person with . An entire battery of at least three tests is necessary to assess general intelligence accurately.<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/9755929/IQ-tests-do-not-reflect-intelligence.html</ref>
