Intelligence (IQ) is more or less static. If you have a scientifically proven method of increasing IQ, please post it here, and I am sure many people will try it. But at this moment, LW is not about increasing human intelligence. It is about increasing human rationality—learning a better way to use the intelligence (brain) we already have—and about machine intelligence.
Is it solid that IQ tests can distinguish between the intelligence we already have, and our ability to use that intelligence?
