Do general IQ and hockey IQ correlate?

[Riddum]

I doubt George Parros would have been a plug on the ice if it did. Hell, John Scott has a degree in Mechanical Engineering, yet his hockey I.Q was awful.

In answer to the OP my guess is probably not. A lot of the Harvard guys have been pretty average players. I would suggest a high IQ helps but when you are talking about things that are limited by your own physical qualities it is difficult to measure. There are probably guys out there who see everything before it happens but lack the physical talent to capitalize on it.

If you don't think that intelligence is a single entity but actually comprised of a couple of different capacities like the Berlin Intelligence Structure Model, I can see it being a part of it. It's just not what we call intelligence in a day to day setting.

Isn't there a fish, that is pretty good in tree climbing?

Ah, yes, here they are Periophthalmus - Wikipedia or mudskippers

Alright, Cliff Clavin.
