>>10849686the problem with an IQ test is that it defines
>intelligencein terms of performance on a test
so you could actually argue that it should be renamed to TPQ or
>test performance quotientsince all IQ tests are based on test performance
IQ test measure something, but that something is derived from raw data compiled as a result of taking a test, not activities such as
>problem solving>doing real work>interacting with people>developing a business>holding a conversation>evaluating a point of view>historical research>playing a musical instrumentor any of the other activities that we think of as dependent upon a person's intelligence
furthermore, there is the view that at the higher levels, intelligence can only be sensed by other intelligent people, that intelligence is a kind of cant or cryptolect that exists for intelligent people
this view, strangely enough, groups the intelligent with the enslaved and criminal, which is unorthodox
