Analytical thinking vs. critical thinking

See also: Analytical thinking and Critical thinking and Creative problem solving and Rational thinking and Intellectual curiosity and Questioning skills

Analytical thinking and critical thinking are both crucial for problem solving, but they differ in their respective approaches. Analytical thinking focuses on breaking down complex information into smaller and more manageable parts to better understand the underlying principles and relationships (See also: Cause and effect and systems thinking). Critical thinking, on the other hand, involves evaluating information, forming better judgments, and questioning assumptions to arrive at well-reasoned and rational conclusions.[1]

Sun Tzu:

George Washington:

"Washington’s true genius as a military leader was his refusal to give up. He was also very much inclined as a leader to listen to the other military leaders around him. Invariably, he adopted the consensus of opinion reached by his military advisers in making his decisions. Unlike flashier generals, Washington was always able to maintain a steady demeanor and, most importantly, keep his army in being. A lesser general would have risked all for a spectacular but non-decisive victory against the British. As a leader who valued winning the war more than winning individual battles, Washington knew well that time was on his side given the realities of geography and the larger geopolitical situation." - Command and Control, Great Military Leaders from Washington to the 21st Century by Mark R. Polelle

What is IQ or intelligence?

When we use the term intelligence, we usually refer to academic or cognitive intelligence. Cognitive ability is defined as the mental capacity to do the following:

IQ score estimation guide

Tests:

Above 110 IQ score estimator

  • 110 = Smartest person in your close friend circle.
  • 124 = Smartest person in your extended family.
  • 140 = Smartest person in your entire social circle of friends and acquaintances.
  • 180 = Smartest person at your college or university.

College entrance exams correlation with IQ (SAT, ACT, Etc.)

  • ACT scores and correlation with IQ scores, .4 to .7 correlation.
  • ACT scores and correlation with IQ, Google AI
  • ACT score and IQ, ChatGPT
  • ACT score of 26 and IQ score', ChatGPT: "When researchers try to convert ACT scores to IQ estimates (which is always approximate because they measure different things), a 26 often corresponds to an IQ in the ~115–120 range on a standard IQ scale (mean 100, SD 15)." That is a range of "average college graduate level" to "superior".[3] With AVE and creative problem solving training that could potentially add another 10 points so between 121 and 131 IQ. That is between an average college student IQ score and being in the top 2% of IQ scores (Top 2% of IQ scores is needed to become a Mensa member).

Also, How much can a person increase their IQ?, ChatGPT: "You can slow or reverse age-related decline, and sometimes improve test scores by 5–10 points with consistent mental and physical training.

Chess scores and IQ

  • ELO 2200 chess score and IQ range, GROK: "Research suggests that high-level chess players (like those with 2200+ Elo) tend to have above-average IQs, often in the range of 115–135. This is because chess demands strong memory, problem-solving, and visuospatial skills, which correlate with certain cognitive abilities measured by IQ tests."

"So a 2200 Elo player is often in the IQ range of about 125–135 (top ~5–10% of the population), but this is not a rule — there are players with lower IQs who achieve 2200 through training, and high-IQ individuals who never break 1600." Range: That is a IQ level of "Ph.D. & M.D. ave." to being in the top 1% of IQ scores.[4] If you add in AVE and creative problem solving training, then the IQ level could be between the range of 135-145. That is among the top 1% to being in the top .5 percent.[5]

Also, How much can a person increase their IQ?, ChatGPT: "You can slow or reverse age-related decline, and sometimes improve test scores by 5–10 points with consistent mental and physical training.

Ability to boost IQ via learning about creativity and problem solving is 15 points in adolescents, but about 2-5 IQ points in older population.

AVE add 5 points.

What is a genius level of IQ

  • What is a genius level of IQ? - "Defining "genius level IQ" is a nuanced matter, as there isn't a single, universally agreed-upon standard. Traditionally, an IQ score of 140 and above has been considered within the genius range. Some sources like Verywell Mind indicate that in earlier IQ classifications, scores above 140 were termed "near genius or genius," although this specific terminology is less common in modern contexts, according to Verywell Mind. Modern interpretations might categorize these scores as "gifted," "exceptionally gifted," or "profoundly gifted," depending on the specific test used and the classification system applied."

IQ and reaction times

"Individuals with high IQs show faster responses on simple reaction time tasks (Deary, 2000; Deary et al., 2010). Processing speed can be regarded as a global construct that influences a variety of motor, perceptual, and cognitive tasks (Kail, 2000, Fry & Hale, 2000)." - Information processing speed as a predictor of IQ in children with and without specific language impairment in grades 3 and 8.

Abstract for the 2020 journal article We Can Boost IQ: Revisiting Kvashchev’s Experiment published in the Journal of Intelligence:

This paper examined the effects of training in creative problem-solving on intelligence. We revisited Stankov’s report on the outcomes of an experiment carried out by R. Kvashchev in former Yugoslavia that reported an IQ increase of seven points, on average, across 28 tests of intelligence. We argue that previous analyses were based on a conservative analytic approach and failed to take into account the reductions in the IQ test variances at the end of the three-years’ training. When standard deviations of the initial test and 2nd retest were pooled in the calculation of the effect sizes, the experimental group’s performance was 10 IQ points higher on average than that of the control group. Further, with the properly defined measures of fluid and crystallized intelligence, the experimental group showed a 15 IQ points higher increase than the control group. We concluded that prolonged intensive training in creative problem-solving can lead to substantial and positive effects on intelligence during late adolescence (ages 18–19).[3]

The argument that mnemonics and increased vocabulary can make you smarter

See also: Mnemonic

"Mnemonics are memory aids that help people recall information by creating associations. They are useful for memorizing lists, sequences, and complex information by transforming it into something more easily remembered, like acronyms, rhymes, or visual images. Mnemonics can be particularly helpful for students, healthcare professionals, and anyone needing to learn and remember large amounts of information." - What are mnemonics good for?

"Yes, mnemonics can be very helpful for learning vocabulary. They act as memory aids, creating associations between new words and information that is easier to recall, such as images, stories, or rhymes. This makes the learning process more engaging and can lead to better retention of new vocabulary. Here's why mnemonics are effective for vocabulary acquisition..." - Are mnemonics good for learning vocabulary?

Vocabulary and intelligence

"The more words a child knows, the more effectively they read and the more effectively they learn – whatever the subject. Vocabulary is so influential, in fact, that educational psychology pioneers identified it as the single greatest indicator of overall intelligence." - The link between vocabulary and intelligence, MsWordSmith.com

See also: Rational thinking and logical reasoning and evidence-based thinking and analytical thinking and critical thinking and probabilistic thinking and structural thinking and systems thinking and Dunning-Kruger effect



The difference between low to high IQ thinking vs. ultra high IQ thinking, where VHIQ represents low to high IQ thinking and UHIQ represents ultra high IQ thinking.[4]

Notice how the low IQ to high IQ individuals often gravitate towards binary either/or thinking and taking sides rather than towards probabilistic thinking and balancing between contradictory possibilities.

While scientific thinking did cause the scientific revolution and all its benefits when it comes to advanced technology, medicine and a proliferation of scientific knowledge, science does have its limitations (See: Limitations of science).

Splitting is a psychological defense mechanism that causes individuals to engage in the extreme binary thinking of black-and-white thinking, all-or-nothing thinking and thinking in extremes.[5] Splitting is a distorted way of thinking in which the positive or negative attributes of a person, thing or event are neither weighed nor are they cohesive.[6]

Chess and increasing intelligence

See also: Chess and increasing mental performance

Chess presents interesting intellectual challenges. It is said that: "Chess has an advantage over most school subjects: it combines both theory and practice. Ideas are honed and tested in the crucible of competitive play. Poor formulation or poor execution of ideas loses games. Careless, faulty thinking is ruthlessly refuted on the chessboard."[9]

According to Healthline.com: "Playing chess can improve cognitive skills like memory, planning, and problem-solving. It may also help reduce symptoms of certain brain conditions.[7]

Some countries, particularly nations like Uzbekistan from the former Soviet Union, promote chess as a fundamental aspect of learning and mental development.

Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer and Bible reading: Earlier in life he mentioned that "I can remember times coming home from a chess club at four in the morning when I was half asleep and half dead and forcing myself to pray an hour and study (the Bible) an hour.

Pride and cognitive inflexibility

See also: Cognitive flexibility and Openness and Intellectual curiosity and Intellectual humility and Hubris and Pride

"Pride, especially when associated with self-conscious emotions like shame, can negatively impact cognitive flexibility. Studies suggest that pride can inhibit the ability to switch tasks and make decisions, leading to longer reaction times and lower accuracy rates, especially in complex or switching tasks. This suggests that pride may interfere with the brain's ability to adapt and adjust to changing circumstances."[11]

"Prideful people don't want to admit that they are wrong because that is going to highlight their limitations, and they are already not comfortable with what they already know. When this happens, try to be open-minded about it." - Pride Can Take You Down, Brainz Magazine

Narcissism and insecurity:

Narcissism and cognitive inflexibility:

"Narcissism and cognitive inflexibility are linked, as narcissists may struggle with flexible thinking, particularly when their self-esteem is threatened. This can manifest as difficulties in processing social ambiguity, rigid thinking patterns, and challenges in adapting to new situations."[12]

"Narcissism and cognitive inflexibility often intertwine, leading to a fear of being wrong. Narcissists, driven by a need for self-enhancement and a lack of empathy, are highly sensitive to criticism and have difficulty acknowledging their mistakes. This, combined with a tendency to prioritize self-serving narratives and avoid evidence that contradicts their beliefs, can result in a rigid and inflexible cognitive style."[13]

"In refusing to acknowledge that they have made a mistake, narcissists fail to learn from those mistakes, a recent study from Oregon State University – Cascades found. The mental process of analyzing past actions to see what one should have done differently is called “should counterfactual thinking.” Counterfactual thinking is the mental process of imagining a different outcome or scenario from what actually occurred." - Narcissists don’t learn from their mistakes because they don’t think they make any, study shows, 2022

"Deliberate ignorance, the conscious decision to remain unaware of information, can be driven by various factors, including emotional regulation, social concerns, and strategic advantages. People may choose to ignore information to avoid negative emotions, minimize uncertainty, or maintain a positive self-image. In some cases, deliberate ignorance can be used strategically, like in business to avoid facing unfavorable consequences or to maintain a veneer of innocence."[14]

Midwits and Dunning-Kruger effect

Midwits:

  • "A midwit is typically described as someone with an IQ score between 85 and 115; more colloquially, it describes a person with slightly above-average ability in any domain—someone who is able to pass basic qualifications and overcome standard hurdles but who is in no way exceptional." - The Rule of Midwits.

Signs of IQ below 100 and/or illogical/delusional/unreasonable/foolish people: Categorized and listed

Attitude:

Lack of intellectual curiosity; Overconfidence (Superiority complex and Intellectual humility and Hubris and Pride and Dunning-Kruger effect which is they don't know what they don't know); Lack of openness and closed-mindedness (ignoring other perspectives); intolerant (See: Tolerance); self-centered and think everything is about them (See: Narcissism and Egocentric Thinking); Struggle with creativity, imagination, ideation, innovation and novelty; Often narrow limited interests; Resist change (See: Change management; Poor listening skills; Lack of adaptability); Lack of self-awareness; Neglecting personal development/self-improvement; Laxity in learning (See also: Accelerated learning and Lifelong learning); Lazy (See: Work ethic); Not self-motivated; Too cautious (See: Courage, Risk and Risk management) and does not read books.

Cognitive:

Poor problem solving (See also: Creative problem solving); Struggle with abstract thinking/abstract concepts; Difficulty with complex tasks that require multiple steps and critical thinking; all-or-nothing thinking; Using purely emotionally based arguments rather than logical arguments; They rarely have any substantial evidence to defend the ideas they claim to believe; Lack of critical thinking and often superstitious; Prone to logical fallacies; prone to cognitive biases; Prone to cognitive distortions (Cognitive distortions are considered exaggerated or irrational thought patterns that can significantly impact mental health), often appearing as negative thinking styles (See: Checklist of cognitive distortions and Cognitive Distortions: 22 Examples & Worksheets and PDF); They often idolize powerful people; Gullible (They can be easily molded and influenced by propaganda/crooks/autocrats/dictators); Bad decision making or indecisive; Can't see the forest through the trees (can't see the big picture); Difficulty seeing cause and effect; Wrestle with mathematical ideas; Poor memory skills (See: Mnemonic); Difficulty multitasking; Difficulty summarizing key points; Doesn't deal well with conflicting information and ambiguity; Poor attention span (See: Concentration); Overreliance on others for options, They will keep defending their perspective - even though what they are saying or standing-up for - does not make sense; They are poor learners; Poor verbal fluity. Although repeatedly claiming far out, nutty notions that have no basis in fact (Far-fetched conspiracy theories, holding crazy propaganda despite being shown evidence to the contrary, etc.) is done by people who have average or high intelligence, this behavior does indicate a lack of common sense and a lack of critical thinking and/or a lack of intellectual curiosity/intellectual humility.

Life skills:

Short-term thinker (See: Proactivity); Bad planning skills; Poor time management skills; Poor organizational skills; Unrealistic thinkers who engage in delusionary thinking/irrational thinking; Lack of common sense; Difficult learning from past experiences (Connecting past with present) and incapable of seeing penalties/consequences; lack of self-awareness; lack of self-reflection (See: Journaling) and Overly dependent on instruction rather than self-learning (See: Benefits of Autodidacticism); They don't understand what they want; They take their decisions on intuition — which often leads to regrets and loss; They depend too much on favorable circumstances and don't prepare; They don't take responsibility for their own lives

Some people with low intelligence levels have deep insecurities which results into low self-esteem ("Research suggests that there is a potential correlation between low intelligence and low self-esteem, particularly due to the "Dunning-Kruger effect" where individuals with lower cognitive abilities often overestimate their own competence, leading to a disconnect between their actual abilities and perceived abilities, which can contribute to a lowered self-esteem when faced with challenges or comparisons to others; however, this is not always the case and individual experiences play a significant role."[15]).

Gossip by Charles Haigh-Wood (1854–1927)

Interpersonal skills:

Poor interpersonal skills/communication skills; constantly interrupts; constantly tells you how smart/superior they are; Being very opinionated, yet ill-informed; Lack of self-control; Impulsive; Overly emotional; Frequent outburst; Lack of empathy; Inability to take responsibility (blaming others and excusitis); Takes things too personally, they equate volume/aggressiveness with being correct (Shouting, all caps, big fonts); Always have to have the last word (See: Last wordism); Ignoring feedback; Constant need for validation; They judge and pass instant judgement; They gossip behind others' back - they enjoy gossiping; They have difficulty in accepting their mistakes and saying their sorry; Have poor quality of relationships in their life; They lack non-verbal communication skills; They talk too much; They talk because they just want to say something, anything - and they want to be the one that everyone pays attention to; They act rude - as if nothing concerns them; They get annoyed very fast; Don't get jokes/sarcasm

(Lower social intelligence is associated with lower IQ: The Relationship Between Social Intelligence And IQ: A Psychometric Analysis, 2023; A Pilot Study of Correlation between Intelligence Quotient, Social Quotient, and Ayurveda Parameters in Children, 2018; Social and academic intelligence: Conceptually distinct but overlapping constructs, Personality and Individual Differences. Volume 12, Issue 7, 1991, Pages 695-702.

Lower emotional intelligence isn't necessarily associated with a lower IQ: "Various researchers who examined the educational correlates of EQ and IQ have found little correlation between these measures (e.g. MacCann et al., 2020 ), while others have found that EQ acts as a mediator variable between IQ and educational outcomes (Mavroveli & Sanchez-Ruiz, 2011; Petrides et al., 2004)"[16])
