An Introduction to Athletic Intelligence Measures and the Athletic Intelligence Quotient (AIQ)
When evaluating elite athletes, knowledge (what athletes know) is very different from intelligence (their ability to learn). For example, consider evaluating two quarterbacks, one from Navy and the other from Florida. Their knowledge is derived from what they have been taught, and is as different as their coach’s philosophy and teaching ability. However, with the AIQ, you can still compare their ability to learn and adapt to your specific plays, schemes, and formations. In other words, intelligence is a stable trait that can be compared between athletes, whereas knowledge is determined by many other factors, some of which may hinder your ability to predict the athlete’s success within your organization.
The Athletic Intelligence Quotient (AIQ) assesses the innate cognitive abilities that are most utilized in attaining, developing, and applying athletic skills, strategies, and tactics. The AIQ provides quantifiable data regarding the athlete’s sport-performance specific intellectual abilities, just as the 40 yard dash quantifies speed and the number of squat reps quantifies strength
