Can you think of 100 different uses for a sock? How would you cope with glasses that turn everything upside down? What's your emotional intelligence? Can you create a work of art in ten minutes?
Horizon takes seven people who are some of the highest flyers in their field - a musical prodigy, a quantum physicist, an artist, a dramatist, an RAF fighter pilot, a chess grandmaster and a Wall Street trader. Each is put through a series of tests to discover who is the most intelligent?
The principle way that we measure intelligence, the IQ test, remains popular and convenient. Yet most psychologists agree that it only tells half the story... at most. Where they disagree is how to measure intelligence, for the simple reason that the experts still don't know exactly what it is.

not having seen this yet, so i can't comment, but this caught my eye as being apt in summing up 70% of so-called doumentaries these days.
I'm sure if you made notes on important points, you could fill about half a side of paper with them , and yet the documentary would be in 6 parts.
extensive use of slow-motion abstract imagery and pople's opinions fills much of the air time.

That is true with most documentaries and that is what makes some of them interesting and enthralling, the use of opinions and the right imagery. When done well it makes the subject matter more entertaining.
