Which intelligence subtype do you consider the most important?

TIL bookismers think the most important cognitive ability one can have is ... the ability to rotate objects in your head Giggle

the point of my tongue in cheek comment was to imply you all you NPCs are parroting muh "spatial intelligence" ITT like it's some superpower irl, while, when it comes to iq and iq test talk, you are saying that same stuff (if you mean it as in "solving puzzles/matrices", hence my fucking question) is just random bullshit and doesnt mean anything as, and even using it to argue that the concept of iq is bullshit.

I do believe that the spatial part of the IQ test has a connection to real life tasks requring spatial intelligence. Though you can probably get a better idea of spatial intelligence by observing people perform these tasks. Or you can look at performance in mathematics, physics, etc.. 

The core IQ criticism of people like Taleb goes in a different direction, from what I understand. I am skeptical of IQ worship, and yet I do not believe the test is 'random'.

but what are those tasks? that's the point of my initial question itt. not because i cant possibly think of an answer, but to hear other people's opinions

we are onto something with the concept and the methods we are using to measure it, but that's about it

I would say anything that involves building and operating on objects. Of course other factors play a role here also. I'm not claiming you need superhuman mental rotation skills, but having a deficit in these areas seems worse to me than having a deficit in other areas such as reading. Maybe I am wrong. Idk.

and it's absolutely hilarious to lump 2d matrices and 3d spatial "intelligence" together when matrices are 100% pattern recognition and 0% anything else. and if you say spatial intelligence also involves pattern recognition, by that standard, absolutely every human ability does

I think of it as 3d thinking. I never thought of a sophisticated defintion. Apparently Gary Kasparov scored low on spatial tasks in the IQ test he did for Spiegel. So, it does not seem to be as necessary in chess.
They call it 'figural-bildhaftes-Denken'.

"3d thinking" isn't even a buzzword. it's total nonsense.

I always thought spacial IQ was like physical coordination and reaction time 

I mean I've never seen a downs syndrome person person do a kickflip

funny how the least pretentious people always make the best contributions, usually through humor, to these supposedly deep intellectual discussions. talking about you and me, in this case.
