Notes -
What about Mike Tyson? An incredible boxer (and boxing requires quick thinking) but doesn’t seem smart. Apparently his estimated IQ is 78.
I’m sure g does correlate: most dumb people don’t excel at anything that requires any form of intelligence, and most smart people (even autistic) do have social and emotional intelligence. But at the same time, an autistic genius who’s desperately lonely is not choosing to spend their g towards math. They may have the core smarts and just some small brain issue with them, but the small brain issue makes them socially unintelligent.
