Rudy on High IQs

Here's a post from Rudy regarding IQs.

IQ might more likely be proportional to the log of one’s brute processing power rather than being a linear function of it. So a thousandfold increase in processor power would make you only three times as smart.

Instead, he points out some mental processes that he feels are important to intelligent, creative people. Including: parrallel trains of thought, extra associations, anticipating ideas, modeling behaviours, and drawing conclusions.

This also reminds me of the Houston ISD decision to reward their teachers baised primarily on the standardised test results of their students. Can't imagine that this teaching towards the test does anything to help the students prepare for more creative thinking patterns.
