Imo definitely common sense, which might not be a formal category of intelligence, but it follows from empathy, risk assessment, and understanding of consequences. Sociologists could probably do research to nail down an exact definition through and psychologists could probably measure it, though I suspect it would only really work intrademographically. What’s common sense for a rich, well spoken, fourteen year old white girl is different from common sense for a poor, uneducated sounding, twenty five year old black man, because they unfortunately face very different potential consequences for the same actions.
As a really rambling example (sorry!)
When I was the former in the US, I used to seek out and make conversation with cops if I was planning to buy or carrying (well sealed and odorless) weed at an event, because I figured they’d think I was less likely to do that if I was committing a crime, so they’d be less suspicious of me/give me more leniency if they caught me (because police corruption is a fractal: any amount of positive or negative interaction with them confers exactly that amount of forbearance or spite in future interactions). That’s terrible common sense for the latter demographic, but it worked very well for me and most of the white stoner girls I knew. Even the same demographic but older has different ideas of sensibleness. I would never seek out a cop like that today, because: A) I know that the real reason it used to work probably has more to do with us having been young teenage girls recognizing their authority than with us seeming more innocent (though the corruption bit was right), and wouldn’t apply to a woman as old as I am anymore*; and B) what works best for my current demographic is just blending in (or I guess getting way closer to a cop, but that’s both skin crawling and a much longer game than I am willing to play)./* I’d argue it’s partial credit for common sense there and partially luck that my theory had positive consequences in common with reality, but this exemplifies the problem of letting each demographic decide for themselves what constitutes “common sense,” and use it as a metric for correct behavior /** (I’m sorry about the footnote within a footnote, my ADHD meds just kicked in on a day when I have nothing to do for the first time in over two months, after just finishing teaching a six week long German intensive course, teaching the same group for four hours every weekday, and the fediverse is the victim of my hyperfocus today).
Common sense might convince an adult not to trust the extremely rare sketchy-seeming but totally genuine opportunity, but it might also convince a teenager to trust the teacher or other adult entrusted with their safety who’s willing to buy them alcohol and nicotine products. However, if we allow people to weigh in for all of their younger demographic counterparts, we would risk making common sense impossible for all but the most mature people, thus making it no longer the metric we’re looking for.
/** it’s not really an issue for our definition or measurement of it though, it doesn’t really change things if common sense is sometimes wrong
