I believe "fluid intelligence" (whatever you mean) is similarly important in other fields such as architecture, civil and other engineering, carpentry, art as well as academia, military and governance, etc... no?
> Fluid intelligence or fluid reasoning is the capacity to reason and solve novel problems, independent of any knowledge from the past.
I'm not saying that isn't not important in the disciplines you just mentioned. I _think_ however, that it's more important when you work on something that is meant to be "disruptive". I don't think that for example carpentry necessarily belongs to the same job category.
