John: >I think that there really needs to be more very specifically defined
quantitative measures of intelligence. ...Other qualities like creativity
and imagination would need to be
measured in other ways.
The only kind of intelligence you can measure with any precision is narrow
AI - convergent intelligence. That's what education marks out of 100 in
tests with right/wrong answers.
The other kind - AGI - divergent intelligence - can't be marked
mathematically - can only be graded. That's what education gives grades to -
Excellent/ Very Good/ Good/ Poor etc. You can't mark essays/ projects, for
example, with precision, (or indeed the socially creative projects like
novels/ new business plans/.(Navemente/A2I)). And they're half of education
and half of intelligence. Sorry if that distresses those who can't live
without maths - but that's life.
P.S. It's worth pointing out that there are TWO kinds of intelligence - and
there can be NO ARGUMENT about that here. You can argue about their
definitions, not about their twoness. So Ben's and Pei's "mono" definitions
of intelligence, for example, are a priori wrong. How can one be so
dogmatic? Well, you guys have, for a start, to be able to distinguish
between narrow AI and AGI, (which by my maths makes two kinds of
intelligence) - otherwise you might as well cut your own throats
professionally speaking.
