The Highest Level of Gaming Skills

Thinking, planning, leading and all that are all skills. Intelligence or IQ is something you can improve over time. Other skills that are used in a turn based game? Creative thinking, learning (ie absorbing everything around you), organization, and some degree of leadership. Chess is a game of skill and intelligence, to say that a turn based game is not a game of skill is like saying chess isn't.

Again the definition of skill is so broad, a skill is the learned capacity to carry out a pre-determined result in minimum amount of time, energy or both. This encompasses thought, thinking and intelligence. Skill is not all reflexes and speed.

 

your IQ doesn't vary much beyond 2 years of age. Good try though.

 

your strategic and tactical thinking does.... a lot.


Sorry but after playing skill based games for years I can confess that being able to press buttons fast is far from being skill. But like the guys said above. Taking fast and correct decisions on a real-time action game is skill.


Besides, beating a certain boss or certain game o a hard mode isn't being a legend. Anyone can do that, just take a different amount of tries from person to person.

 

If you let your IQ stop you from developing your intelligence then you're not a very intelligent guy.
