I might (ironically) not be smart enough to follow what you're broader point is, but I do think there's something interesting here. Maybe, in a later post you, if you can clearly and narrowly hone in on your premise ("I believe there should be a "cheat code" for high intelligence (problem-solving skills) for people.") I think you would have something that would generate a very good conversation.

So one of my later posts will likely be about some of my specific ideas. About the g-factor. I can imagine a weak person who has an extremely strong leg. I would think that such a person isn't "generally" strong. Because I already have an idea how a generally strong (and above average) person looks like. But with IQ tests, I'm not starting from believing that they measure general intelligence. Maybe I don't even have a good idea how a generally intelligent (and above average) person should look like. So the fact that there are in fact multiple different ways to break the correlation makes me doubt IQ more.
