Evolvong a Good Guess...

This is yet another chapter in a W.H. Calvin book. This one also has to do with the mind, not in its evolution, but in how we think and what is our intellegence (hence the title How the Brain Works). This chapter analyses what it is that we define as intellegence and what is smart. Calvin says that it is how we deal with things "on the fly" that defines how intelligent we are and not how much we know. Its how we deal with spur of the moment situations and how creative we are with soultions that makes us intelligent. He goes on to discuss that IQ as a numeric scale can not adequetly measure ones intellegence and that IQ tests are more a factor of showing ones test taking ablity (the general factor g). IQ is just a small piece that determins one intelligence. More so intellegence covers more things like cleverness, foresight, speed, creativity, and how many things you can juggle at once. (10 pages)
