Intelligence Question (IQ)

[Fruiteloop]

There are varieties of intelligence because of MBTI

The front brain and back brain, the left and right brain. Combine in different ways.

I have trouble with drawing because I cannot see textures but I assume that people with a good vision network has a dense mesh of connection to see better.

The front of the brain can do two things. Reflect on what needs to be done and plan out many things to be done. And utilize vision to execute those plans.

So executive function is about thinking and doing. People without it can do things but not so much plan things.

So I was thinking that the more you plan and the more you see the more you can do.

Since not everyone is the same (density of connection is different in different people and areas of their brain) what factors are involved in quantifying intelligence?

I do not mean that intelligence can be reduced to a single number (Intelligence is more 3 dimensional than 1 dimensional) but what can we say in absolute terms can people manipulate both internally and externally to say they are more intelligent.

Overall the best I came up with is that people who have more working memory and perceptual memorization would be what to look at.

These people could do pretty much anything they want to do just by thinking about what needs to be done.

This would require understanding working memory.

Practically speaking this would require understanding the wired connections that allows more information to be processed together.

What does a brain look like that connects to itself?

Something like a human computer?

The front brain and back brain would work together.

The reason I have these questions is because in movies people make digital art.
I never could make those things so instead I tried to understanding why others could.

The vision system then is what I wanted to know about but this only was at first because executive function I have seen are not really on IQ tests.
Executive function is also important because it allows you to do step by step and hold parallel instructions at the same time.
So it allows you to know what when and where to do things. I had trouble with it so I wanted to know more about it.

I don’t know what to say other than there is some validity to mapping brain function to areas of the brain, but the areas are much more granular than left/right, front/back.

Also, I am neurodevelopmentaly disabled on account of being diagnosed with ADHD, primarily inattentive, severe presentation.

Did that have an effect upon my IQ? Who knows. I have always been me, so I don’t know anything differently. And no, I am not going to say a number, or speak further about that.

One thing often said about those with ADHD is they have difficulties with executive function, to greater and lesser degree. Yet this often manifests as knowing what to do, how to do, being oriented properly, but having no fuel in the tank.

I have had fMRIs done at baseline, and on 30mg methamphetamine hydrochloride. While my activated total area changed, the core areas were the same.

Yet also, expected areas when I was shown eliciting images—and particularly so when I listened to music—were significantly (in the statistical sense) different than normative controls. I also had non-responses to eliciting images which produced activity in normative controls.

Political and intersectional critiques aside, I think the Wechsler and Stanford-Binet are useful in the assessment of fluid and crystallized intelligence. Like any test, one must incorporate that assessment in a much larger, holistic context for it to be functionally useful.

Cheers,

I see.

Yes granularity is the thing. Like I said the density of neuronal connections.

However the energy part may be the issue with ADHD does not lower intelligence because the wires are still in place they just are not active all the time.

Not sure how I am in the sense that I can do some things and not others, I simply have less connections is vision centers maybe?

I spend my energy on tasks until I cannot do them anymore because if I don't I cannot sleep.
it is just that I cannot sit still and do nothing even for brief moments.

Some people plan better than I do, in real time that is because I have to follow a routine or get messed up by losing things. Important things. Such as I have a list in my wallet. I cannot spend more than a certain amount at the store a day on food. And I stay home until the next activity. I don't drive a car. It was too hot to do laundry today (I cannot walk two blocks in the sun) so I have to make sure to get help or not have clean cloths. I forgot the soap once, had to walk all the way back home to get it.

If I do something it has to be right in front of me or I don't know what to do. I think it out but often my mind gets blank.

Its like I said on Ti (I do not reflect on stuff in this way) I can plan sort tasks but I cannot go into depth of all the connections of everything in a structured manner. Some people can design elaborate things sitting in a chair just thinking. To me I feel slow doing it. It is a reason I read and critique more than I flesh out math equations or draw diagrams of complex models. Forcing myself to think hurts if done incorrectly.

So what I am saying is that I need to see it to do it, puzzle games or work. but just thinking about it the brain hurts as it doesn't generate things on it own in me. Its external generation not internal generation if that makes sense. Like writing what I have here.

A person that draws comic books. That is what I have trouble doing is being creative. I can put things together mechanically but not really create designs. It feels like I have nothing to do allot so thinking to me is about describing what could be. Rather than making it.

To me knowing what to do would be structured thinking.
The thinking that require creative reflective design.
I absorb ideas all the time.
but it is the generative processes, they seem like what I want to do but cannot.
understanding them is still cool because I get to see a little bit of it happening in me at a time.
