Other intelligence note

I realized that most people confuse Intelligence Science to be about how a person perform in a success matrices and day-to-day life. However, most intelligence studies I've read were much more focused on abstract intelligence, without any perspective to any other life areas. For instance, someone might be just very intelligent but they're in not interested in these perspective that define the success metric for most people. Moreover, I've met enough successful people in life to be able that even that metric has absolutely nothing to do with abstract intelligence but with some agreed-on facts that most people simply ignore. Take drinking water for example, most people do not take this seriously, and definitely no studies will ever show that drinking enough water usually has to do with being intelligent, since they're interested in, again, abstract type of intelligence, however, drinking water regularly has many other effects, like good health and clearer mind in general, which both definitely do affect what people take for intelligence, or the aforementioned metrics. #Modus Vivendi
