I find IQ and its correlation to be a very fascinating subject. Not only because of its taboo nature of raising controversial questions, but because the studies that are being done in recent times have rapidly created more faceted tests that draw more controversial and poorly understood conclusions.
Verbal IQ is one of the strongest links to overall IQ, as opposed to something like spacial IQ, but it’s not a certainty by any means. Logical processing is most likely the best indicator, imo, and the Venn diagram of high verbal and high logical is interesting. I feel that this is most likely because high verbal IQ borrows a lot from logic as you need to be able to quickly work through abstract logical principles and present the solutions in a way that is coherent and palatable. It’s not a machine spitting out data like a calculator, as there is a degree of artistry and involved in selecting the right words and phraseology while also minding the palatability of others.
