    I think you may have forgotten some of the context when you responded. We already have a consensus among experts that IQ isn’t intelligence. That’s not up for debate anymore. The question is whether or not intelligence can be measured, and the semantic question of defining intelligence is very important here. You can’t answer “how do we measure X?” without first defining what “X” is.

      Oh you’re right, I did. Sorry!

      As for a test of intelligence – maybe we’ll be able to define what that is at some point in the future. But, granted, until there is a consensus on the meaning of intelligence, there can’t be a test for it.
