There are strong correlations between achievement in any given area which requires a brain and any other given area. Presumably an actual structure of intelligence is revealed by these correlations. Of course there are exceptions. Much of the common school curriculum is flawed as well. Presumably that wouldn't be an excuse, however, because again the type of test is irrelevant. An intelligent person could give a better interpretation of the Bible than an unintelligent one, regardless of whether or not they actually believed in its contents. They might decline, but it would probably be a statistically insignificant number of individuals that would do so.

I've never really been sure what "effort" is. It always seemed so nebulous to me. Could you explain it?
