Trump thinks the screening for Memory Loss was an IQ test.🤣

12. Yes but an IQ test measures many areas of intelligence.

It is broken up into many subtests and would capture some of the kind of intelligence you are describing.
We also have many vocational tests as well that capture innate practical abilities. These tests identify verbal and
non verbal intelligence.

Psychologists have a very sophisticated battery of tests available to measure human functioning, including intelligence.
Not just academic learning, but innate intelligence.

These tests were developed at the start of WWII to help the government identify military recruits' skills, abilities, talents
so they could best be utilized during the war. So for example you could identify a man who didn't have a high school education
but he could put an engine together quickly and correctly, etc.

And there has been extensive research since then to perfect these tests.

But yes if we were stranded on a deserted island we would for sure want to be with people with certain skill sets
and innate practical intelligence.

This would actually be an interesting test question if I were teaching a testing class, what abilities and raw intelligence
would you test for to identify the best person to be marooned on an island with.
