cmv: IQ tests are not an accurate measure of intelligence and their use should be discarded and replaced.

The idea that you can capture intelligence in a test seems very ridiculous to me. Some people are artistically intelligent. Some people are socially intelligent. Some people are emotionally intelligent or empathetic. 

People will boast saying “I have an IQ of blah blah blah” and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. I also think it’s a poor metric of how someone will contribute to society. Someone with a 120 IQ may not perform nearly as well as someone with an 80-100 range IQ. 

What’s the point of even continuing to use it or put people into “gifted” programs considering it isn’t even a consistent metric of their potential performance in a field? Idk.

The problem with the IQ test is in the name only.  The test is one of the best indicators we have for specific types of logical or spatial reasoning aptitudes, but not for general intelligence.  So it should really be re-named, not discarded.

People who boast about their IQ rarely have anything else to boast about.

Statistically, what is currently called IQ does correlate to higher achievement in academics, standardized testing, college graduation, and lifetime income.
