How do we weigh know-how?

Answers:
One way someone can be said to hold gained skill is to have bookish something. A correlate of learning at the smooth of a brain cell is called long-term potentiation (LTP).

I can consider LTP in living animals after I drill them things. LTP is really when neurons (brain cells) strengthen (potentiate) their connections for a long period of time (long-term) and thereby create networks linking brain areas surrounded by order to store and next remember what we have experienced.

I method this "learning" using glass electrodes (little probes I stick within brain tissue) that can detect electrical currents called Field Potentials. If I detect LTP after I join a drug or inject a current pulse, I could potentially say that the cell have react like they would contained by a living being (ie. do what they do when we are learning).

INTERESTING FACT: My collegues and I discovered that blocking faultless receptor proteins in the brain (the same ones that MARIJUANA act on) can facilitate learning, BUT, it also prevents you from forgetting! Acomplia is a drug coming out on the open market soon for weightloss (June). It turns out that this drug also blocks the same receptor to prevent weightiness gain. What do you think will appear to people's learning while on this drug? Learn in good health? Yup. Forget? Nope. Good thing? Only if you are not going through a divorce or are already stressed. Look for it soon.

from your olden experiences.

That is very easier said than done to do. You cannot really go by IQ. Your IQ can increase and drop off throughout life and besides it really depends on what type of acquaintance you are speaking of. Just because you are not "book/school" smart does not make a stupid entity. IQ is based on the whole on "book" smarts.

With a very small guess, because a little bit, go a long way.

Kind of resembling we measure good looks, goodness and other subjective things..usually not particularly well!

Knowledge is not measured directly most of the time. Most adjectives way is to ask you a press and check the answer. It is the experimentation technique that says if you can answer the cross-question correctly then you enjoy knowledge just about the subject. Since we can't measure it directly, we use this method. It is also used for love, fun and other "virtual" emotion. For example, to measure fun, we can count the times you chuckle.

EDIT: Intelligence and knowledge are two different concepts. IQ is NOT a standard of knowledge.

The most adjectives answer would be by IQ, of course. But researchers are finding that IQ is fundamentally inaccurate.because one can be extremely bright contained by say linguistics, but be appalling at logic. One might be a great musician, but terrible at communication. That's why Multiple Intelligence Tests are a more accurate means of access of measuring different types of intelligence (there are 7 largely accepted types).
