IQ tests are pattern recognition. Simple as.
Who is writing the patterns. What is their cultural conditioning and established values. How are those baked into the patterns they express. What language do they speak and what are the patterns within that language. What's the medium of pattern expression (symbolism), and what about groups that didn't express in symbolism.
I can go on.
All that matters with these tests is an openness, fluidity, dissolve in a fixed self to be able to receive or perceive in New manners.
People tend not to increase as they age because of pattern conditioning and crystallized lifestyles
Again, when people have access to a broader bouquet of opportunities; novel experiences, food, security, competition, etc. Intelligence increases
Again, regardless of race, why do you treat intelligence and IQ as fixed? Do you think if we all just ate healthier and changed nothing else that we would exponentially increase intelligence?
