@SuperDicq @r000t @phnt @HatkeshiatorTND @protos common misconception. it does not measure academic intelligence, it measures raw problem solving capabilities that are applicable in every single domain of life regardless of education background. a properly written and administered IQ test can't be gamed or practiced or studied for. people with a low enough iq cannot make decisions surrounding their own lives. other proficiencies like art or creativity are important for the individual and society but you can be a great artist or athlete and too unintelligent to manage your own life let alone be permitted to make decisions that affect other people. 

the best argument against IQ is that a single score for all the ways you're good at solving problems is highly synthetic, not that it doesn't measure anything real.
