if Musk's got a high intellect-quotient, that's fine..

What does it measure?

A very-specific subset of intelligences, crafted to leave-out female relational-intelligences, musical-intelligence, health-intelligence, among other ones..

https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Kinds-Smart-Identifying-Intelligences/dp/0452281377/

identifies 9 intelligences, & I defy most Mensa-types to consistently score high on those other ones..

It is the IQ lobby which won't tolerate the other-intelligences to be counted equally-valid, right?

With reason: they aren't good at those intelligences.

( hint: musical-intelligence includes multiple sub-intelligences, including, but not limited-to..

  • rhythm
  • harmony
  • melody
  • improv/jazz
  • composition
  • polyrhythm
  • etc..

A person can have a "musical intelligence" of whatever, & be brilliant in rhythm, but lousy in harmony, xor vice versa.

Too-coarse-granularity's consistently a problem with these damn measures : )
