Hi guys,
A while ago I was at a conference for the International Society for Intelligence Research (ISIR) and one of the articles presented (the researcher and title elude me atm) talked about music ability and intelligence. It was shown that there was relatively little correlation between general intelligence and artistic ability, as well as drama, but relatively high correlation between g and musical ability. Based on this, what are your opinions on the reason for this? My opinion was that music is all about the relationship between pitches, and that the ability to discern patterns and relationships between variables, would transfer across to understanding patterns and relationships between pitches.
