If anyone is still interested in this discussion, I have a further question which I think is related. I’m very interested in what I guess I would call sensitivity to surroundings (though surroundings can be interior). What I have in mind, for example, is the way a great basketball player seems to have the whole court and everyone’s position in mind when he makes a play. (I actually don’t much care about who wins and loses athletic contests, but I can admire the excellence of the play.) Does this kind of extreme sensitivity to where things are and how fast they are moving count as intelligence? If so, why, and if not, why not?
