I’ve always thought of intelligence as one’s ability to learn, retain and apply knowledge. What’s the word for that?

The word for that is indoctrinated. Intelligence is the ability to evaluate the knowledge offered by others.

Learning quantum mechanics involves more than being able to regurgitate principles. It also involves understanding the intellectual process that led to the development of quantum mechanics.

But IQ tests don’t measure how successfully one’s been indoctrinated, do they?

You speak of Quantum Mechanics as if the theory is now a fact. Which to the bystander appears to be nothing more than arrogant pseudo-intellectualism.

Show me your clear evidence that Quantum Mechanics is a proven science which exists outside of Theorist mathematics if you will.

I belong to the realistic realm of science and base my career on my own learning, not some one else’s baseless theory of Psychometrics.
