The transhuman would max out every single IQ test. It is just barely possible
that a mildly transhuman AI running on sufficiently limited hardware might
perform badly on a test of visual intelligence, or - if isolated from the
Internet - of cultural knowledge. A true superintelligence would max those
out as well.
The transhuman can beat the living daylights out of you at chess or Go or
poker, and do the same to Deep Blue and Kasparov with scarcely more effort.
Ve can hack source code, prove the Riemann Hypothesis, win a debate, offer
psychiatric counseling, author a scientific paper, design experimental
procedures, write a poem, paint a picture, and create new technologies. Any
other questions?
