I feel like practicing is more like getting familiar with a problem and applying that to future similiar problems and that it doesn't really help with what I listed earlier, but I could be wrong.

If you do a lot of math problems, logic puzzles, etc. eventually you go beyond the specific solution in each case, and start to get a sense of the general flavor.  I think the essence of high IQ is that some people skip the details and get straight to the underlying principles.
