There are multiple problems with IQ tests, but the main one I take issue with is the fact that all they really measure is how well you taken an IQ test.
Consider people who are extremely intelligent, but collapse under the pressure of a test. They might score extremely low on an IQ test, but demonstrate their knowledge in other ways.
Also consider the fact that IQ tests require specific knowledge of the types of questions being asked. Math, just as an example, isn’t something everyone knows. Just like reading. Just like any other skill people consider a normal thing to have. Does that mean the person is inherently unintelligent? Or could it be that they’ve just never been taught that skill?
Bottom line, if you take an IQ test result as anything more than a single point of data among many, you’re using it wrong.
This is a great point. The results of an IQ test aren't really measuring a person, they're measuring a byproduct of that person, which is significantly less informative.
