Hi Stathis Papaioannou

You can be tested for intelligence,

You can be tested for competence, only. Not for intelligence.

Not for consciousness, either.

You can test locally for non-intelligence, in front of a repeated mistakes.

Intelligence is an emotional thing, related with a form of self- insatisfaction. It can have variate qualities.




but the
enduring solipsist problem shows that you cannot
be tested for consciousness.

You can test only relative competence. You can appreciate intelligence, but it depends on your own.

Competence is conceptually simple, but hard in practice.
Intelligence is conceptually difficult, and hard in practice.
Consciousness is conceptually difficult, but easy in practice.



At least nobody seems to have
come up with such a test.

Such a test does not even make sense. I think.

Only you can know if you actually have intelligence,
although you can appear to have intelligence (as if).
You can be tested for it.

Thus comp is not different from us, or at least it has the same
limitations.

I think you mean "consciousness" rather than "intelligence".
