    Yeah, I’d say humor is the better indicator. It boils down to the ability to connect ideas in creative ways, as well as keeping a longer context window in conversations

    It’s not a direct 1:1, but what is intelligence really? There’s many types, and they’re all a combination of domains

        That’s not what I was referring to. Intelligence is basically a combination of working memory, recall, cognition, and metacognition

        The combination of these domains together produce the foundation for the “types” of intelligence, which might be more accurately described as abilities

        Humor demonstrates these qualities socially. It’s not a direct relationship, more like a demonstration. Like how dancing demonstrates physical ability, humor demonstrates the factors underlying intelligence

        (But you could also just be a good or bad dancer)
