In recent weeks I have met a pretty and sweet girl with what I consider her only biggest problem: her IQ. She is slow, does not remember things and has no concentration at all, has no arguments, systematically repeats the usual twenty words. (A bit like the character of Forrest Gump, for those who do not know what low iq means). I feel like I like it to go deeper, but I wonder if it's not a mistake. Do you have similar experiences?

Fascist? I thought IQ testing was designed around the apolitical flavour of white supremacy.

IQ was made to find out who the worst-performing student in a class was, and then immediately became about deciding who to sterilize.

Use in a classroom setting is questionable enough as is, but when applied in a general sense to other things, that's fascist pseudoscience.
