“I think that mathematical ability is one of the best general measures of intelligence.” - That is what I’m really trying to get at. When we think of the super-intelligent, we usually immediately think of Mathematicians of some sort, or Engineers - basically the name “MIT” comes to mind, at least it does for me.

That isn’t to say that lawyers or politicians aren’t intelligent, we just tend not to think of them as quickly as we would a Scientist or Mathematician.
