Components of intelligence
Besides those things that we attempt to measure with IQ tests (memory, spatial ability, mathematical ability, language ability) there are also components for creativity and values. (The importance of values was discussed in my Kan. Acad. Sci. Trans. Vol. 119, pg. 249-250, 2016.) Those who believe in the usefulness of a single scalar “g” factor or “IQ” argue that there is significant correlation between the memory, spatial, mathematical, and language components. I think there is less evidence for correlations with creativity and value components (of a vector “intelligence”).
