RE: Are IQ Tests an Accurate Indication of Intelligence?

in #life6 years ago

Is quite the dilemma. As one of the 'IQ tests say I'm smart' group I have to admit that, while u so believe or societies guess and ranking of intellect is severely lacking and, on the whole, counterproductive, I'm still loath to admit that their total bullshit. Indeed, it's clear that people with high IQs do tend to be less probe to certain sorts of cognitive errors. However I'm be there first to admit that that's not the be all end all.

The thing is, when hear people get promoted within society, they are the last ones that you can expect to change the system.

Then again, every IQ is meaningless article is probably written by someone who measured average or low on the test.

I guess the no one wants to be thought of as dumb, but being considered average send to be regarded just as badly.

haha yup pretty much the conclusion i reached in the article
