Well, one problem is that the current mathematical definition of general intelligence is exactly that -- a definition of totally general intelligence, which is unachievable by any finite-resources AGI system...
On the other hand, IQ tests and such measure domain-specific capabiities as much as general learning ability.... So human-oriented IQ tests are not so important I tend to think there should be some kind of test for general intelligence that is based on the requirement for self-understanding.... Humans have fairly rich dynamic internal models of themselves, cockroaches don't, and dogs have only pretty lame ones... Perhaps there could be a test that tries to measure the ability of a system to predict its own reaction to various novel situations? This would require the system to be able to model itself internally... However, it's still hard to make this kind of test objective in any sense, as different AGI systems will be adapted to different kinds of environments... Still, this is an interesting measure by which we could compare the self-understanding of different systems that live in the same environments... But, still, this is not really an objective measure for intelligence ... just another sorta-interesting sort of test... -- Ben On 10/19/07, John G.
