Interesting. I had never thought before about what specific factors go into
the degree of ones percieved intelligence. However, upon review of the
factors you listed I think I agree with you. But it seems to me that
virtually each of the components you have stated, except for speed, can be
learned. Thus if the village idiot had exponentially increased speed of
data acquisition, retrieval, and manipulation, wouldn't he/she be able to
more quickly acquire each of the other skills you have listed? And thereby
give the perception of increased overall intelligence?
